Had some spices and chilli paste left from the Fish Head Curry that I cooked the previous week and decided to make a dish of Malay asam (sour) pedas (spicy) ikan (fish) for myself this week.

Now that I know how to choose my avocados well, I am of course going to make lots of avocado treats for myself. And for the guy. And maybe for the little one as well.


Fish head curry is a great dish to have at family or friend gatherings, especially since it is usually of a decent serving size and is served with loads of goodness – ladies’ fingers, brinjals, tomatoes, coconut and curry gravy etc, the last of which is great to have with plain rice. There are many different flavours of fish head curry, including the sweeter version of Chinese fish head curry with coconut cream and the sour asam version of Indian fish head curry which contains pineapple slices and lime juice.


I’ve had a love-hate relationship with avocado for a while last year. It started off when I began to drink avocado milkshake during my pregnancy, something my gynecologist wanted me to do to put on more weight. I got addicted to the shakes and continued to drink them regularly throughout my 2nd and 3rd trimesters.


It’s the time of the year to bake Chinese New Year cookies again! I’ve decided to revisit a previous recipe but use a different ground nut powder instead.
