As promised I am now showing you what I cooked for our reunion dinner :) Nothing elaborate .Buttered prawns was one of the dishes I cooked up for the Piggies. Prawn is a must have item for the reunion dinner ...ask any chinese they will tell you it means laughter literally translated from the cantonese word ' har ' so hee hee har har - laughter in the house all the year thru...I have you laughing now ? ...heehee haha. Laughter can be infectious :)) Daddy can be very westernized but when it comes to chinese tradition and culture.....he does want to follow some to the T :p
For me, I don't know much about the chinese culture and tradition..I am a yellow banana. I only know how to cook and bake LOL! Back to this dish...it is easy to prepare ..it is the ingredients that makes it delicious. The butter , curry powder and curry leaves gives fragrant to the dish. These ingredients compliment the prawns well and make the dish a wonderful and mouth watering one :))
