Golden Afternoon Spicy Thai Fishcakes

“All in the golden afternoon” is the famous poem Lewis Carroll wrote in Alice in Wonderland. This poem sets the scene for this legendry tale and stirs our imagination. Being foodies, this poem inspired us in a bit different way and we made up into this appetizing appetizer. The golden color of this fish is going to remind us of the golden sunshine of the afternoon when this story started.
