via Instagram: Three Cheese Shrimp Thermidor and Fried Fish Roe. Three cheese Shrimp Thermidor - Large sized shrimps, deveined and cut deep enough to spread the meat, keeping the head and the tip of the tail intact. Chopped garlic on top together with freshly grounded black peppers. Grated cheddar is the first layer of cheese, then mozzarella, and lastly on top is a bit of blue cheese. Baked in the oven at 250 degrees until the cheese melts completely and has a little bit of browning. No salt added as the cheeses are already salty enough. Fried Fish Roe - the fish roe was entirely fried in medium heat. No salt was added. After frying, the fish roe was cut vertically, allowing for a meat loaf like presentation. Half a lemon was squeezed over. For flavor, garlic, sliced pimientos, and chopped olives were sautéed in olive oil. All of which were poured over the sliced and lemon drizzled fish roe. #saltfreemeal #Saturdaylunch #fishroe #shrimpdish #weekendmenu

via Instagram: Chili Crab. We wanted a chili crab dish, so I browsed online for chili crab recipes. I found a lot of Singaporean chili crab dishes, so I gathered a few recipes and jot down some notes to fit to my own taste. This one has both has the spiciness of chilies and sweetness of sugar, just enough heat for the drizzly weather we are having in the city. Yes, it has eggs in it and ketchup. #crabdish #seafood #Saturdaylunch #latelunch #earlydinner #weekendmenu
