Dinner the next night...
We have been craving for a good sweet & sour fish...

The Mummy Cooked:
Barramundi And Dory Sweet & Sour Fish
Spicy Dried Shrimp Sambal French Bean with Minced Pork


I really dislike sweet & sour fish where it's like more batter then fish, and the fish.. is it really fish? And the sweet & sour sauce is very important.. I dislike those sticky bright red gooey time which is often too over powering and 'fake'.

So I made my own sweet & sour sauce to go with it. It was very welcomed by the family.


Both types of fish were lightly coated in corn flour and shallow fried.
(Left: Barramundi - Right: Dory)
