Steam Fish

I got the fishmonger to cut the fish "butterfly style" but after steaming, I found the plate is too small...hahahaha. Next time, I will use a bigger plate so you can see the sauce.

Ketchup Prawns

Wash Prawns and use a scissor to cut the top shell to remove veins but keeping the whole shell intact.

Pan Fried Prawns with little oil till almost cooked.

Add some ketchup and sugar(to taste) and mixed them all till fragrant and cooked. This method does not give any ketchup gravy, they are fried till the prawns absored all the ketchup and sugar.

Baby Bak Choy

This is easy.

Just blanch the bak choy in boiling water and a few drops of oil till the leaves withered or to the texture of your choice.

Arrange the bak choy on dish.

Next deep fried some white baits till golden brown and set aside.

For sauce, boiled 1 tbsp of oyster sauce and 1 tbsp of water (more if like more gravy) and pour over vegetables and topped with the fried white baits.

Steam Fish

Ok I did not decorate it nicely, next time I will add parsley and spring onion and tofu...hehehe

It tasted like restaurant style but of course restaurant is better.

My version (adapted from a recipe from Rasa Malaysia)
4 tablespoon light soya sauce
1 tablespoon chinese wine
sugar to taste (best to use rock sugar grind to powder form)
few drops of sesame oil
Ginger (sliced)

Steam fish with ginger (Dont steam too long)
For sauce, add light soya sauce, wine, sugar and sesame oil.
When fish steamed already, throw away water contained during steaming
Heat some hot oil (about 1 or 2 tblsp) and drizzle on fish
Heat up sauce and pour over fish and decorate it whichever way you like. My sons like the fish.

Note: Must buy very fresh fish.

Agar Agar Art?

My husband say I can be bothered to make all these funny shapes for agar agar. He said you just pop the whole thing in your stomach,why waste time.........lol. My eldest son told me that "Mom that is very nice". (Geez, at least I have a supporter...lol.) My youngest son ask me: "So when can I eat them?" Finished Product

Just pour the different coloured agar agar into the desired moulds.

For the leaves and stem part, cut out from a plate of agar agar to the required shape.

All these need patience and inspiration. But I think I should be able to do better but I am too tired and lazy today (lol).

These were done very long time ago.

Minced pork with quail egg in Spaghetti Sauce

I marinated minced pork with light soya sauce and sesame oil and rolled into pork and coated with bread crumbs and deep fried them till almost golden brown. Boiled quail eggs and remove shells and set aside.

Heat up some prego sauce from bottle and throw in minced pork and quail egg and mixed well till sauce boiled.

Roast Drumstick and Potatoes

I roasted some drumsticks and throw in some slices of potato. Mix the gravy with potato too, it would be very tasty. The photo above is half done in the oven.

I forgot to take photo of the finished roasted drumstick...lol
