Baked Rainbow Trout

Recently,  I  bought some fresh Rainbow Trout from my local fish market. And this is how I cooked it : Preheat oven to 200°celcius.   Place fish in a large sheet of aluminium foil, and then rub with olive oil. **Remove head beforehand,  if  you can't stand to look at fish head** Season the inside and outside of fish with dill, thyme/rosemary, salt & pepper. Stuff  fish with onion slices, garlic chopped, and grated ginger. **Place 1/2 lemon slice on fish (Optional)** wrap whole fish with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Serve with rice and veggies.  The juice is so fresh and yummy   😙😙😙 If you like the taste of steamed fish, then this is just perfect. Enjoy!!

Pastizzi

Last week, there was an event to make a Pastizzi in Altona Meadows library . Pastizzi is a traditional savoury pastry from Malta.   It's usually has a filling of either ricotta  or peas. But actually, you can use any filling you like 😊 We made the pastry from scratch, with the instruction from the pastry chef - Peter Haber.  This is the one and only picture I have with the chef. And it's 200% BLUR!!  😭😭😭 To make the dough, we have to be super patience. 😣 Its a very hard work!😭😨😵 At first, we need to mix 500gr of flour, 2 tea spoon of salt and approx 300ml water. We have to mix them all together for about 15 minutes - to form smooth silky dough. **(This is the hard part we have to do. Make sure that you have eaten already - to give you more energy. Coz you need to move your muscle to make the dough!!)** After the dough smooth and silky, we need to wrap it, and let it rest for 15 minutes. **But actually, the longer

Walking Group

It was a very nice day to have a walk with friends today. The weather was sunny but windy, so it's warm enough to have a walk along the beach. We went to Altona beach. But before we start to walk, we went to Joel gallery to see an Art & Craft Exhibition - while waiting for other friends to come. The gallery is very cute, with a nice backyard, and the exhibition is very interesting.  About 15 of my friends showed up and we start to walked along the beach for about 1 hour return. The windy is very cool, but after walking for about 30 minutes everyone get warm. 🙅🙆🙌 Best friends. They know how crazy you are and still choose to be seen with you in public. 🙅🙆🙌 After we finished our walk, we went back to Joel Gallery to have lunch together - which was free! Yeayyy 😃😉😆 After lunch, we went back home with our bellies nice and full 😙😆😋
