For lunch, I asked my maid to pan-fry a chunk of salmon that hubby bought yesterday. I told her three times that she is to pan-fry the salmon for I know she will surely forget. My maid tends to be very absent-minded when it comes to cooking and will surely screw up a dish 9 out of 10 times when I leave her to do the cooking. I then went upstairs to bathe Baby C. When I came down, I sensed something was wrong when I could not smell salmon. The house should be aromatic and smell of salmon if the salmon was being pan-fried but nope, no smell of fish..... something fishy is going on! I rushed to the kitchen and saw my maid in the wet kitchen, next to the cooking stove and the salmon was inside the wok --- being steamed! I was steaming mad as she had forgotten again what I had told her. I then told her to quickly remove the salmon from the wok and start frying it.
The half steamed, half pan-fried salmon. The ginger shouldn't be there but my maid put them in as she thought that all fish should be cooked with ginger. Almost disastrous but luckily still tasted good as the fish was very fresh. I squeezed some fresh lemon juice on the salmon to add some zest and flavor to the fish.
Alycia and Sherilyn's lunch - fried vermicelli with half steamed half pan fried salmon and organic Japanese cucumbers.
Alycia and Sherilyn can never get bored of eating noodles and don't even mind eating them everyday, if they have a choice.
Whilst we ate, Baby C dozed off on her highchair again. Oh, she doesn't suck the pacifier, I let her chew on it since she loves putting things into her mouth these days.Aly and Sher spent much of their time today playing with their new lanterns that daddy bought them. Check out their modern-day lanterns too!

you should make a recipe book for your maid, ask her to study everyday.
Haha, poor thing .. Next time, get a Teriyaki sauce prepared in the kitchen and it pairs well with pan fried salmon with ginger :) Just a little tip!
