I am hungry now. Is there anything better than the smell of mother's kitchen?! Besides feeling hungry, now I am nostalgic too. Your photo is powerful! Regards, Djenno

I would say, almost all Malaysian could identify to this. A black wok with sizzling, frying fishes.To go with this, a big bowl of lada & kicap + limau + slices of bawang merah and wispy hot rice.

Composition, getting the wok's handle from the lower left side brings the viewer into the frying pan (no pun intended here) tells me you are not really that of a novice.
