Home-cooked grilled fish set

I love to cook but BE always dont want me to cook as he thinks it is too troublesome to buy, prepare, cook and most imptly wash the dishes after cooking...

One fine day, we wanted to go to the supermarket to buy some veggies to cook porridge for the little one so we decided to buy food and cook our own dinner.

Grilled fish set
Ingredients:
For the baked potato - potato, butter, sour cream, bacon bits
For the veges - broccoli, carrot, salt, oil
For the side dish - bacon, asparagus
For the fish - fish, italian seasoning, lemon juice, pepper, salt

For the baked potato - poke the potato with fork so that it can be cooked faster, wrap it with aluminium foil before baking in oven. Once done, cut a cross, add butter, sour cream and bacon bits.

For the veges - blanch broccoli and carrot in hot water with salt and oil

For the side dish - blanch the asparagus and roll it with bacon. Bake it till cook.

For the fish - marinate the fish by adding salt, lemon juice, italian seasoning and pepper. Wrap it with aluminium foil and bake it.

T@mpopo

Wanted to go out for a meal but hate crowd so decided to head to Liang Court as i loved shopping at the jap supermarket even though the stuffs there are expensive. Decided to check out the jap restaurant which Hei once mentioned to me...


We had Black pig shabu shabu ramen, Black pig tonkotsu ramen... the pork is super tender....

And also the highlight for the day........... Otoro sashimi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wanted to try that after watching a HK serial which focus on japanese cuisine.
It costs $55 for 5 pcs of otoro and $45 for chutoro...
Whats the difference?

Otoro is the premium part of tuna belly that usually does not get a price on any sushi house menu. Otoro is they best part of the tuna. Because otoro is from the belly of the tuna it is fatty. Otoro is light pink in color, sometimes almost white, and creamy looking. Otoro will leave behind a swirl of oil on the surface, and when it hits your pallet, it will melt. The fattiest portion of the tuna, found on the underside of the fish.

chutoro is the belly area of the tuna along the side of the fish between the Akami and the Otoro. Often preferred because it is fatty but not as fatty as Otoro.
Yummy! It tastes like meat instead of fish but i am glad i tried that but dont think i will eat it again unless i am in Japan. =)
