claypot tanhoon prawns
made 6pax dinner for my brother yong siu family.
- thai style whole fish (ang choe) curry
- claypot tanhoon prawns
- sambal sotong with onions
thai style whole fish curry is my new recipe. though it is not exactly the same as old holland road forture’s it is very good, nicely tangy and tasty and wonderful curry and vegetables.
i made my own curry rempah and added tomyam paste, very shiok dish!
will do up a recipe post soon! 🙂
claypot tanhoon and sambal sotong are usual dishes. my sil especially liked the claypot tanhoon prawns, said it was very tasty.
the key was the stock and also the proportions, so that stock was reduced to right amount, still wet and moist not soupy, while cooking the prawns and tanhoon just right. excellent dish.
sambal sotong key just not to overcook sotong, so it is fresh, succulent, perfect texture.
this my 3rd homecooked dinner for my brother since circuit breaker! 🙂

A Moral, Principled & Righteous Again United States of America & Leader of Democracy
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=OFPwDe22CoY
the positivity energy we missed.
👏👏👏
very sadly a few good men after that like obama can do abysmal
Just one nasty moron did untold damages & infected the whole nation with baseness & nastiness
that is because of non democratic vested interest system failure..cannot remove gun rights,cannot negotitate with police union…USA is vested interest plutocracy masquerading as democracy.
actually the fact that even obama could do nothing shows there is very little hope of USA system whether it is called democracy or not.
I think the divisions and fault lines that a obama cannot heal is unbreachable after a trump
every ugliness is release and set free in USA
it is a system failure
the only way only chance America can go forward is if not only biden elected but GOP is smashed into oblivion & a new moral principled charitable true Christian GOP is reborned.
a friend asked “What if the democrats win the house the senate as well as the presidency. Trinity?”
Then GOP have the chance to be phoenix reborned
Younger more rational more charitable more moderate GOP with true republican values and emerge after all the racist bigots old bags are banished.
I don’t agree with low tax low welfare no infrastructure small government dogma or anti abortion anti gay rights but those are legitimate differences in view points and policy directions so it is democratic whether democrats or republicans are elected
gun rights and police union are not
those have to be resolutely opposed.
maybe there needed to be a 毒药 toxic deadly trump virus to poison corrupt decimate and shows its evil destructive powers for America to recover its morality & principles & righteousness and lead the world again….

wife ordered unaju from uya 25% off on 19.5.2020. ^^
still good tasty but somehow didn’t taste like the excellent live unagi kebayaki…kind of let down..
doesn’t taste as fresh, crisp outside and tender, moist inside, kind of dry in comparison?not sure during circuit breaker whether still live eel?
the set came with usual clear soup and dashi, so one can take the rice with dashi like a porridge…dashi was very tasty, as usual for this dish…

made mutton ribs soup this evening on 13.5.2020. ^^
the mutton ribs soup was excellent..daughter loved it had a second bowl & several ribs and meats..son back late after work and walloped everything. lol!
mutton was very tender & soup super flavourful and smooth ..i think better than most chinese herbal mutton soup outside
jessie bought the mutton ribs for me. it was not cut and i didn’t have chopper so not easy to prepare. quite a bit of fat between ribs and layered meat to remove, cut away and discard.
other than that preparation was straight forward. it was a 1.2kg slab. i used about 800g.
i cleaned with salt, then place in boiling water to remove scum, cleaned and drained on colander.
then placed ribs in boiling water with garlic cloves, shallots, lots of sliced and julienned ginger and red dates, and the sun kee herbal bakuteh sachet. cooked for 1.5hrs. added wolfberries at the end, and 2tbsp light soy sauce to taste.
garnish with coriander.
really straight forward, not much different from cooking bakuteh.
the results was lovely, yummy, shiok mutton ribs soup, so very tasty and enjoyable!

squid ink linguine with squid
made a 5-course gourmet family dinner for mother’s day on 10.5.2020. ^^
5th course was squidink linguine with squid. 🙂
squidink linguine was one of 2 best dishes this evening, especially delicious…
prawn pasta in prawn bisque sauce was excellent too but squidink was better..
squidink was the best i made..the very flavourful chalky powdery texture & perfectly al dente pasta..simply excellent!
this though many good restaurants can do the same la..so even best still cannot say better than outside..
just brown 6 cloves of garlic in olive oil, add chicken stock and white wine and reduce, then add the squid ink sacs. i used squid ink taken from maybe 10-15 squids which i kept for use. seems not so easy to get squid ink in singapore? and expensive!
when serving, add squid seasoned with fish sauce and white pepper (i cross cut the squid), and cooked for couple mins, add pasta and 15g butter, off fire and tossed. add sweet basil to garnish.
a superb, delicious, simply the best squidink linguine with squid! 🙂
