Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet

fish fillets
salt
pepper
2 eggs 
1 cup all purpose flour
1 pack Mama Sita’s Sweet and Sour Mix
Onion
Garlic
Ginger

Rinse the fish fillets. Put cracked pepper and leave for 3 hours. Beat egg and put 1 teaspoon salt and marinate the fish for 15 minutes. On separate plate, put a salt and pepper to the flour. Get the fish fillet and cover it with seasoned flour. Deep fry until golden brown. 


in 3/4 water, dissolve the Mama Sita’s Sweet and Sour Mix. Saute the ginger followed by garlic and onion. Pour in the dissolved mix and stir until thickened. Pour over the fried fish fillet. 



VERDICT
ABBEY: Wilma told me that she'll be cooking for our dinner. And she asked me how to cook sweet and sour fish fillet. She did it. As usual she's nervous what would be the taste and how will I react. It turned out to be good; it has less sauce though. The fillet is well coated and tasty. It goes well with the sauce and hot rice.

Owndays Singapore (OPTICAL SHOP)

ABBEY: It is the time of the year again to change specs. Wilma is insisting on me to wear contact lenses but we ended up on choosing the good old frame.


She checked Owndays and saw that they offer full package (frame and lens) at 98sgd. The best part is that the frames are lightweight.
I chose a rimless frame. I haven't availed the offer as I requested for transition and thinner lens which add up 400sgd. Wilma got hers after 20 minutes while I waited for 3 weeks to get my new pair of additional eyes.

It was worth the wait. It also came with a nice specs case. The new specs is good and fitted me well. I looked more mature but more gwapo :)





WILL: Its a yearly must-do for us as a couple to check our eyes and to change specs. Yes! Every year we just not change lenses but the eyeglasses as a whole. Why? We use it daily..it means, our everday sweat is there and a good home for bacteria even we cleanse it religiously.

The power I need just a little bit higher, but of course I do not want a very heavy burden on my nose and ears. Gladly I found out the MyOwnDays at 313 Sommerset. 

The cheapest you can get is $98 for a glasses and the lenses. Mine was jacked up to the price of $168. I want a nicer half-
rimmed frame and Abbey added around $30 for an added protection on my eyes. 

Frame plus lenses is very light. Sometimes, I forget that I am wearing one.

Saba Con Yelo Recipe

Saba bananas are a rare find in Singapore. So I made sure to make the most out of them when I laid my hands on these tropic treasures.

10 pcs saba bananas
3 cups of water
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Crushed/shaved ice
Evaporated milk

Put the water in a pot and boil it. Upon boiling, put the sugar and stir until diluted.
Next are the bananas then the vanila.
Simmer for a couple of minutes until syrup thickens.
Serve in a bowl topped with ice and milk




VERDICT
WILL: I am fond of ice-shaved desserts. Well, ice-cachang is everywhere but sometimes craving for Filipino dishes kicking my taste buds.

Abbey requested an ice-shaver to my Ate Sol when she visitied us last month and for the second time he used that thing to impress me. Haha.

Our housemate bought saging na saba and hubby bought some of it. He cooked it to sweeten the taste, put the shaved ice, poured some evaporated milk! Tannnann! Instant relief on a very hot day.

Thanks a lot baby, you never fail to amazed me. :)
