vinegared saba
i like the vinegared saba. japanese cured and pickled stuff all added sugar and a bit sweet. wife and CCG didn’t take.
seabream soup
for J’s seabream soup i used only ikan bilis, so i added a larger seabream fillet to give it natural fish sweetness.
when serving i poached sliced seabream fillet and added few leaves of organic chye sim per J’ request.
seabream soup
for the 4 of us, i used chicken broth, intense chicken stock, added sliced ginger.
and poached sliced seabream fillet and added organic chye sim.
fish was fresh and the broth was very tasty. ^^
grilled saba
grilled saba
i did grilled saba, first time for me.
the saba i bought from sheng shion was very fresh, could feel pressing on the flesh and belly – firm and bouncy.
i rubbed sea salt inside cavity and outside and grilled on a rack in 250degC oven for 15mins. quite perfect – natural taste of the sea, very fresh, sweet and tasty. J, CL, i all enjoyed the grilled saba.
(i had 1 more saba in the chiller so i made another for J the next day)
pangrilled portobello
pangrilled portobello
the pangrilled portobello had only sea salt so a bit lacking in taste.
could do with the usual olive oil, balsamic and drizzle of agave nextar. the dish mainly prepared for J so didn’t add.

today’s claypot rice was excellent, great aroma and great, and super tender, moist, tasty chicken, breast and all.
