Mouth to mouth

Have missed out the potluck on 5th Monday in August & November. M, KE, J, SL & myself decided we'll have fishhead curry instead. Place chosen was Curry House in Sg Ara which is not too far for everyone after work.

We ordered a fishhead which is huge.  

Salad with sambal belacan

Fried mixed vegs

Fried chicken and also egg omelette

J was given the honour to dissect the fish head

The fish had mouth to mouth resus from J

End results...after J's resuscitation.

My advise, never let J do CPR on you !!!

We had 2 hours good fellowship. We want crabs..........that'll be in our menu for the next meet. :)

Came across this ingredient in market this morning. Just want to try it out.

Bought vegetables - lady's fingers, onion, daun kesum, bunga kantan, tomoto

Also some stingray

Method :
Fry curry paste tilll fragrant

Add water & vegetables in

Lastly add stingray.

Dish is ready to be served. It was fast & easy. I did not add any salt or tamarind as the taste is just right.
