Fish and potatoes dinner plates are common on western menus, so when i decided to cook an all time favourite saba miso ni (saba simmered in thick miso broth), added some young potatoes and shiitake too. J was surprised! Only then that i realised potatoes in a fish dish is not common in asia. He was delighted with this combination though =)

There we go, saba and potatoes miso niwith, grilled green peppers and onions with ume(japanese sour plum) cheese topping,

choy sum and sakura prawns light shoyu based soup, and grilled salted cuttlefish to go with our grape cocktail
added yesterday’s bamboo shoot garlic saute to the soup and topped with more fried sakura prawns which made it very appetising.
tastes like the chinese fish soup, and goes very well with rice too.

yup this is how the dried cuttle fish looks like after grilling

again, my jaws were so so tired after chewing on a few, but it made the cocktail extra quenching!@.@

crossing my fingers that this pork influenza monster will dissappear soon.
