It's been 1-2 years since the last time I prepared seafood salad. The 1st time I prepared seafood salad is during one of the lunch gatherings at my home sweet home with my in-laws.
This is the 1st time I prepared seafood salad for my family during our Christmas celebration. This seafood salad consists of lettuces, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggs, prawns & sotongs.
Salad is served with thousands island sauce (my favourite) ^_^
Tom Yam is my favourite, so I always play around with the ingredients for new tom yam dishes ^_^
It is a challenge to make good tom yam dishes. I tried cooking those authentic tom yam clear soup before (not those type of chillie red soup). Very nice for my 1st attempt - spicy & sour. I love it very much! But for my 2nd attempt (2-3 years later after my 1st attempt), it is a failure. Sigh..
This tom yam seafood dish is made less spicy for my in-laws. In fact, it don't look spicy at all!
This dish lack of flavour as we couldn't find the tom yam leaves from supermarkets.It will definitely taste & look better with the tom yam leaves..
Anyway, I think overall the taste is still okay if you don't set your expectation too high ^_^
These photos are taken by my hubby. Good shots, aren't they? Dear, thanks for the nice shots, you made this tom yam seafood look so yummy.. hee..
This sambal sotong is one of my favourite dishes. I only cooked this dish when there are gatherings at my home sweet home as I am too lazy to wash & clean the sotongs just to cook for a 2 persons meal ;p
Whenever I cooked this sambal sotong, it is always the popular dish, even if sometimes the sambal sauce is very spicy!
This is one of the dishes that I have prepared for the lunch gathering with my friends at my home sweet home on 21 March 2008.
I have prepared this dish for my family & my in-laws before as well ^_^
