DELICIOUS DINNER 3

A series of home cooked dinner by my wife.

Stir fried long beans(snake variety) and eggplant with chopped chillies, dry shrimp, onion, garlic. It was not too oily and it blends very well-appetizing.

Squid stuffed with mashed hard boiled egg and french beans.-something special to confront monotonous meal-was chewy in texture. i did not fancy it!

Mee Suah soup with egg, lean pork and fried shallots- so flavorsome-scooped up every drop-a must during birthday

Nyonya chicken curry cooked without coconut milk- the secret to tasty curry is to add a piece of belacan (shrimps paste) and lots of candle nuts-looks deceptively hot and spicy.
