Curry fish balls, being the first dish made by Mommy that Da Bao ever tasted in his life, served as a link reconnecting mother and son nearly five years after their separation. Over the years, this dish has remained Da Bao's favorite, bar none.
But, his love for curry fish balls is limited to those made by Mommy.
The flavor of the fish balls made by Mommy always tasted slightly different from those made by others, according to his taste buds.
As for where the difference lay, Da Bao couldn't quite articulate it. Perhaps it's what people often refer to as the so-called "mother's flavor."
So today, when he tasted the fish balls, Da Bao noticed the difference immediately but didn't want to hurt Mommy's feelings.
Upon hearing that these fish balls were specially made for him by Nuonuo, his feelings became more complicated.
Honestly speaking, the taste of these fish balls was not great. If someone else had made them, Da Bao might have spit them out on the spot.
