Ratatouille In The Making

Ah, food. Everyone loves them. This is Malaysia for goodness sake. We live to eat or do we eat to live? I'd prefer the former if you'd asked me. But I tell ya, if I have to cook to eat, it better be worth my time and effort.Cooking has not been my forte. Not that I don't like to, but because I don't fancy the preparation that comes with it. Not to mention the cleaning up once you're done. So, the only advantages I can think of is the fact you only cook what you like. That means no onions, no chillies, no curries, you get my sniff. You want a list of what I have always cooked or tried over the years? Get your fingers and toes ready, coz that's all you need.1. Instant Noodles (ingredients : eggs, prawns, meat balls)2. Fried Luncheon Meat3. Fried BBQ Pork Sausages4. Fried Rice5. Porridge6. Steam Fish7. French Beans + prawnsOk, you can put your toes down. So, coming back from Sabah, I had bought myself a supposedly fresh red promphet fish. Eager not let the freshness get away, a gourmet menu was prepared last Saturday to fill 2 bellies. Steam fish and french beans, yet again. What were you expecting?Anyway, I'm grateful that preparation for both the dishes were fairly simple and straight forward. Removing the scales of the fish was tedious, especially when they started flying all over the kitchen. That would be the only time I'd buy a fish all the way from Sabah.Pictures taken using a Sony Cybershot DSC-F77ADare I be bolder next time?
