Lemon butter prawns


I actually wanted to grill the prawns but since there was no grill, I improvised with using the Happy Call pan. I figured it will seal in the juices and create a semi-grill or oven atmosphere. After all, you can bake a cake using the Happy Call pan. 

When using fresh prawns, it is always nice to keep it as simple as possible so that the seasoning does not mask the natural sweetness and taste of the prawns. 

Method:
1. clean the prawns by de-veining it.
2. melt butter and add fresh lemon juice. mix them together and leave it.
3. drizzle olive oil over the pan, technically you do not need oil for Happy Call pan but I want a bit of olive oil taste.
4. place prawns on pan and let it sizzle. brush the lemon butter over the prawns. grind black pepper over it. 
5. flip the pan, open and brush the remaining lemon butter on the other side of the prawns and grind more black pepper over it.
6. it takes about 3-5 minutes to cook the prawns. serve when done. 

It is a very quick and easy dish to make. Perfect with mashed potatoes and salad. Or just have it on its own.

A touch of Spring



I just love bright colors sometimes. I was looking for a pair of shoes to fit the company's D&D theme of Retro Night and this cheery coral wedges just drew my attention. I wanted something loud and fun as I may be wearing a black dress. So I have to rely on the accessories to do the work. Excuses I know :p

I would love a pair of hot pink peep toe heels but it was not available in my size. Then there was a pair of robin egg blue pumps which was very lovely but I wanted to show off my beautiful nail color too. Lol. So this coral peep toe wedges fit the criteria. I get to show my OPI new color "Can't Find My Czech-Book". 

I will be adding a pink and orange head scarf and don't know what else to dress up the outfit. I think that will work.  







Whitley Road Fishball Noodle


I happened to be at the old Lavender Food Center this morning and decided to have fish ball noodles for breakfast. There was a bit of a line at 8am at Whitley Road Fishball Noodle and decided to try it. 

Apparently they made their own fishballs which explained the non-uniform shape which was a good sign. Don't you get a bit tired of having those factory made fishballs in most places now?

The fishballs were bouncy and juicy with a bit of sweetness in them. The noodle was a bit dry after a 15 minutes journey but after mixing it with the sauce it was quite ok. I do love that they did not stint on the lard pieces. Sometimes you just need something sinful to slurp up the noodle.
