Chap Goh Meh, 2008 Dinner


My last day of CNY dinner spread. I told my hubby I'm going to cook something special tonight to celebrate the last day of CNY. I added one more dish into my usual two dishes.


Steam fish fillets, nothing special, I cooked this all the time, but this is one of my hubby's favorites.


Stir-fry Sweet Snap Peas with Chinese Mushroom, Baby Bamboo Shoots and Carrots. Hmm... I cooked this all the times too but not in this combination.


Butter Cereal Shrimps. Ha! this is something special as I normally don't cook so much shrimps for ourselves (I always sanction 3-4 for me and 4-5 for him, just want to be in moderation). But since this is the last day of CNY and it was my first time cooking butter cereal shrimps from scratch, what the heck right? Better enjoyed it! My hubby was actually shocked and asked me how many shrimps did you cook? HAHAHA.... So, I had to explain to him and also tell him don't expect any shrimps from me next week. So, we indulged! I will share my version of Butter Cereal Shrimps recipe in another post, if you want my recipe, stay tuned! :P If cannot wait, just do a search on Google lah, so many recipes on the net wat. :D

    Hey, could you share the sauce for the steam fish? Looks like Cantonese style? I usually use the soy sauce, light version somewhat like Teochew style but I love the Cantonese type, especially when go Chinese restaurants. Thanks.

    Hi D,
    Really don't know what style is what style but my sauce is also light soy sauce plus a dash of sesame oil. Hahaha...thanks regarding the prawns. ;)

    Thanks Tigerfish. Yes, I used cornflakes, Sam's Choice cornflakes works well for me. What is Nestum cereal? Can only get this brand in S'pore isn't it?

    Thanks Andaliman.

    Hi Sweet Jasmine,
    I used cornflakes in mine and thus it's called my version. ;) No idea what is Nestum cereal. Is it the 3 in 1 packet thingy?
