Oriental Sweet & Sour Fish Fillets

Sweet and sour dishes are probably some of the most popular dishes in Cantonese cuisine. The sweet and sour sauce is used to flavor a number of stir-fried meats, such as beef, chicken and fish.  It also makes an excellent dipping sauce. 

Easy to prepare but tough to resist! Sweet and sour fish fillet, as the name implies, is fried fish fillet dipped into a combination of sweet and sour tomato sauce. You'll be impressed with the bright yellowish color, sweet and sour flavor, and being crispy outside and juicy inside.

This dish is usually served with white rice.

Pasta Zanmai


 We decided to have dinner while in Mid Valley Megamall for CNY shopping today. My best bud, Lai Mei introduced me and my mom 'Pasta Zanmai' - located at 1st Floor (next to Madam Kwan), Mid Valley Megamall. The dining experience was very pleasant with great food at reasonable price.

Traditionally, pasta is associated with Italy, but over the years became global and Japanese came to adopt the liking of pasta and thus, created pasta in Japanese version : Pasta Zanmai first opened in One Utama and now mushrooming to about 7 outlets.

I had my first 2012 Yee Sang! Right here, at Pasta Zanmai today!!
