He was the one with the idea.
He took over the kitchen one Sunday afternoon, he cleaned, he chopped, he weighed, he cooked, he jotted down ingredients and make some notes.

Food of Thailand


Me?
I was given the most important task, that is ~ tasting
... and of course to photograph his 'Fishnet parcels Masterpiece'.

This is how we spend our weekends, if we are not busy running, driving, waiting, planning our schedule around kids' social calender (which happen to be quite full!!!).

Making the Fishnet

  3. beat eggs till light and pour into the icing bag
  4. When pan is hot, gently squeeze the bag. 
  5. Using a zigzag motion, forming a line horizontally and vertically over the hot pan. 
  6. Try to keep to 10cm by 10cm size. 
  7. Once the egg set, slowly remove the egg from pan onto plate. 
  8. Set aside to cool. 
  9. Repeat.
Putting 'em together
  1. Place a few of coriander leaves onto the centre of the fishnet. 
  2. Spoon 3 teaspoon of seafood mix onto the coriander leaves. 
  3. Sprinkle some golden fried shallots. 
  4. Fold in the sides; left, right, top and bottom to enclose the filling and form a parcel. 
  5. Serve as entrée with sweet chilli sauce or delicious to eat it on its own.
Note to self: to try with cut up bird's eye chilli, when he makes this again.
