Hungry?

June holidays...
In short,...I did nothing...except it was a month of check-ups, check-ups and more check-ups for my in-laws...we siblings had a rotating roster to send them to and fro...A very boring month...Thot of doing a spring cleaning but oh...what the heck...kids had camp, supplementary classes, and stuff like that and therefore we had no quality time outside,..a.k.a holidays...so I just brought them to JP to shop for some garbs and stuff...and that's abt it...pretty sad but the kids understand..

Me looking bored...Back off my Mocha!

Had some lousy days with my health...but I'm getting on...

well,...did a bit of stuff in the kitchen. Got the kids to get messy.

after about 20 mins or so, this is what u get
with some veggie, u got yrself a pretty filling meal

Fish n Chips

One of my all time favourite - FISH & CHIPS - done in MY way.
Unlike those sold in the halal-western food joints/kopitiams, I prefer to add fresh scalded broccoli and carrots as my side veg to the usual so-called coleslaw. The Dory fish is fried tempura-style (not breaded) and topped with the classic tartar sauce,with an extra dash of crushed capers. Not forgetting, - lemons - a must to complement the entire taste.

Unfortunately for this pic, I do not have fresh potatoes so therefore I used ready-to-fry crinkle cut potatoes. Normally I'll cut the potatoes into very big chunks of wedges. And I mean REALLY big chunks. With your favourite hot chili sauce in hand, enjoy!... and don't forget to use a fork and knife,..it gives you that feeling of being at Swensens'!
