chicken rice and 白斩鸡excellent as usual..

everyone liked the steamed cod, hk steamed garoupa

& also the tanhoon prawns which Ervin arranged so nicely..

made 2pax valentine day dinner on 14.2.2021.^^

this a yearly tradition…2020 edition here. 🙂

1. crabmeat chawanmushi
2. flamed miso glazed jumbo prawns
3. crabmeat donburi with prawns, scallops, miso salmon belly

this year not as good as 2020.

my chawanmushi texture not right…my recipe was doing for 5-6pax…the adjustments not enough for 2pax..so a bit viscous…

flamed jumbo prawn could be better.

donburi though was good, flavourful and the miso salmon belly seared scallops were great! 🙂
