deliver homecooked dinner to my brother’s family on 22.10.2020.^^

今天的菜

1. 重庆烤鱼
2. 蒜蓉蒸鸡柳
3. 炒小奶白

first time i tried 重庆烤鱼. ^^

in singapore 重庆烤鱼 usually used seabass.

in china they used mostly snakehead 黑鱼, torsak 鲶鱼 & mandarin fish 桂鱼.

the best 重庆烤鱼i had was at riverside grilled fish @ basement of raffles city. we chose patin, and it was sooooo good! patin is catfish but much nicer than torsak…

i happened to have halibut bought from chinatown so just used that.

will put up a recipe for 重庆烤鱼 later.

had 5pax yakinkiu with OPS bros + LKY on 19.10.2020.^^

my S$44 toyomi grill first use after buying in jun2018! lol!

very good..heat up fast..no smoke as tray of water below..perfect kind of grill..

the lamb was best! very tasty & tender & flavourful..

special price S$39/kg at cold storage…i think usually S$55/kg

grassfed ribeye was tender when done in yakiniku strips no much marbling S$29/kgfrom QB food

belly pork i always like

kurobuta nice not that special S$6.90 for 150g…

the sauces were good – both the lime sea salt & the yakiniku sauce – just like aburiya

the king oyster mushrooms & cabbage very good surprisingly no different from aburiya.

i also made sushi rice…very good..1 cup=2 bowls for 5pax…finished all…went very well with the grilled meats…

& 2 small dishes – pumpkin and shitake mushrooms…

jessie made nice dessert, LKY brought jackfruit & papaya & WT brought cake.

this like 20% cost c/w aburiya.
