{ Dinner: Japanese Inspired }

The weather has been a truant lately.  Every time I cook, I feel like I'm going to die from both the heat from the terrible weather as well as from cooking.



I have been either cooking really simple quick one pot dinner or eating out. Even if  when I cook I don't have to strength or mood to take any food pics after that. Not even from the mobile phone. (These 2 pics here were taking using my mobile phone ;P)  I just want to quickly clean, wash up and get out of the kitchen to have a shower.



Yesterday, I thought, frying some chicken and mushroom (on top of cooking ramen) wouldn't be that bad but I was so wrong. I think the cooking almost killed me. I ended up eating only a small portion of fried chicken and mushroom, the okra and LOTS of salad! I didn't have ramen cos it's just too hot to enjoy it.



Well, the kids enjoyed it. My daughter actually had 2 servings of ramen. My sweet daughter helped washed all the dishes after that while I head for the showers and she actually vacuumed the house while I was making dinner.  Don't even ask about my son. :/  Humph!



Anyways, here's what's on our dining table last night (that almost killed me :P),

• Shoyu Ramen with Poached Egg instead of Lava Egg,


• Deep Fried Chicken with Fermented Bean Curd,


• Crispy Enoki Mushroom,


• Okra with Mayonnaise minus the Ebiko cos I didn't have it,


• Cabbage Salad, and


• Coconut Jelly with assorted fruits.
