After the past few days of Christmas parties and ushering in the brand new year, I think a little fast home cook food is the order of the day. Today is still a national public holiday for us here and my hangover head figured a simple quick lunch will do.

Searching my fridge, I found a tempting piece of Dory I bought on New Years eve and my mother's recipe came to mind. It is tasty with a tangy taste of ginger which goes extremely well with steamed rice. Since it's a little too much portion for the both of us, I decided to invite my bachelor neighbour over to join us. After lunch we ended chit chatting for hours... nothing goes better with a delicious lunch than good company eh?
