our cod fish x’mas dinner!
for our first christmas, me n baby decided to cook sthg at home! so i suggested the yummy cod fish recipe that i chanced upon in the papers. so on christmas day, we went shoppin at cold storage at both KAP and Holland V. to get all the stuffs we need. baby wanted pate on potatoes and i was all set to cook the first fish in my life!
so first, we poked holes in the potatoes and put them to boil.
washed potatoes are the best cos they’re clean and easy to cook!
then we season our first cod fillet with salt, pepper, lemon juice & mixed herbs.
mixed herbs make the fish smell delicious~!
then comes the difficult part! i hadda slide the fillet into the fryin pan!!
oil started to splatter ALL OVER my hands!! and the most painful part was when hot oil got onto my neck! poor snow white..
then we faced yet another challenge.. how do we noe if the fish is cooked?
shucks shucks.. so we concluded that an overcooked fish is better than an undercooked one haha. and we ended up wif a somewhat chao ta cod fish fillet. hmm but still it tasted ok..
i decided to give baby the 2nd fillet, which we expected to be better prepared than the first.
apparently practice makes perfect! baby claims that it’s one of the best cod he’s ever tasted. he said the fish was good n not overcooked, the flavour was just nice such that he cld still taste the cod. well, i kinda doubt his words. i decided not to take any pics since our food din look extremely appealing wahaha.
so then baby spreaded pate over the cooked potatoes and laid them nicely on our new disneyland plates while i whipped out the new precious moments cutlery that i bought frm HK!! we also opened a small bottle of red wine which i bought frm DFS. heh i wanted reds despite us havin fish.. and baby jus went along wif my wish! wat a sweetheart..
and we enjoyed our nice quiet dinner at my humble place.. it was sucha fun n interestin cookin n dining affair for me but i sometimes wonder if i was the only one who’s enjoyin it that much heh.
heck, i can’t wait to cook for my darlin again!! hahaha.
