Laughter can be infectious :)) Daddy can be very westernized but when it comes to chinese tradition and culture.....he does want to follow some to the T :p

'Nai Yau Har' / Buttered Prawns

Today we did not go out coz the weather was hot. Unbearably hot. So we stayed indoor. Me surfing and piggy gal reading her novel. The moment she holds a book...she will be lost to the world. Haizz...so I dozed off after getting no reply from her.

This is what I cooked for dinner. I bought quite a lot of prawns and after asking around how they would like the prawns prepared. This is the outcome of the cooked prawns. High cholesterol so I better not tuck in too much of it.
