Seafood at home

Today over msn, a dear friend of mine commented i can write really long essays for my blog. I didn't realise that! okies.. next time I'll make sure i keep my blog short and sweet :) More photos and less words right? haha..

over the weekend, we did quite abit of cooking. Went to billingsgate market at 630am with huili to get fresh seafood. Fresh seafood is scarce in london. Hardly available, if not very expensive.



We bought prawns, squids, salmon and crabs. The crabs were the hardest to settle.



We didn't have the right instruments to tear the crab apart.. so we had to eat by poking the chopsticks into the claws, the meatiest part of the crab.. it was a tough ordeal i muz say.. first time I ate crab until so pathetic. haha..



The cereal prawns were not quite a success coz the oats we used were not quite the one. Online recipes said the best is Nestum by Nestle. But we can't get it here! anyways.. we have decided we shall just get my mum to buy the pre-pack from sg and send it to us! those are definitely nicer, although its very salty. We concluded that the best dish for the day was the fried man tou. Coz jian yi got the special method of cooking from one of the famous seafood restaurants in sg, and it turned out crispy on the outside, and soft and white on the inside.. haha.. although it was abit black on the outside too!

Then for lunch today, decided to try a new dish. Salad pasta. very simple dish actually.. just need to get a good salad sauce. we got honey mustard. not too bad, but it was abit plain.. need to put more salt next time..
