Four-flavored fish

Four-flavored fish

Overview

It is said that life has five flavors, a mixture of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty and five flavors. The fish I made this time only has four of them, the salty taste of salt, the sweet and sour taste of tomato sauce, and the spiciness of Thai sweet and spicy sauce, but it lacks the bitter taste. I hope that our lives will mostly be sweet, with a little salty, sour, and spicy occasionally, while bitterness will always stay away from us. When placing the plate, I thought about it and realized that life without suffering would be unrealistic, so I picked a few ends of chicory and placed them under the plate. If bitterness is a necessary experience in life, let it sit below sweetness and always appear in our lives as a touch of embellishment.
