Steamed Sea Bass in Light Soy Sauce and Stir-fried Scallops with Vegetables
It's just less than a week before Chinese New Year. Everyone and everywhere are gearing up for this big celebration (well at least in this part of our world). Suffice it to say, chinese influence is also all over and to our delight, it found its way to our home. Last weekend, I stumbled upon fresh and nice seafood produce at Fair Price Extra in Jurong Point Shopping Centre. As I looked through the glass container of live fish and crustaceans, I didn't think twice in getting some. Chinese dishes immediately haunted me and left me craving. That explains for these dishes gracing our dining table. If you're looking for healthy and light dishes to enjoy, you might want to try these 2 recipes.
