We Can Cook - Seafood Hokkien Mee

2nd Sunday of May 

Mother's day

hubs decided that he wants to cook up a seafood feast for my mother and me - and he wants to cook Seafood Hokkien Mee. Not that we mummies have a craving for hokkien mee, but he wants to cook, which is a good thing too, cos 

1. i miss his cooking 
2. i want to eat at home, tired of eating out 24/7
3. hey it's mother's day!

saturday night, after Jules went to sleep. Hubs woke up to clean the pork bone and shell the prawns for the soup stock. it took him about an hour to do all the prep work and set the bone and shell into the slow cooker.
that night the whole house smelled of prawn soup!

the next day, our helper was off for the day and i had to look after Jules while hubs went to busy himself in the kitchen.

because he has shelled so many prawns (1 kg) for the soup, he needed to do something with all those prawns. at first he wanted to do a prawn cake for appetiser, but because i wanted to eat portobello mushrooms, so i told him to improvise! And he puts the prawn cake into the mushroom.

12noon: my parents arrived and YEAH!
lunch is about to be served.

i did a simple salad - wafu sauce on top of a garden greens, cherry tomatoes and a chopped orange for some zest.

The portobello prawn cake mushroom was terrific!
and it was huge!!!

my dad thought that was lunch already. so funny when hubs served him a bowl of hokkien mee and dad went "huh??? got somemore ah???"

after our main, we were all quite full so we served a can of nice cool beer.
aaah.

after an hour, we served coffee.


that was my Mother's day this year.

hope yours was just as great as mine!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 

to all 

mummies, grandmummies and great grand mummies!!!!
