Tonite's dinner

A simple dish of "Tempura" even though you cannot tell from the photo.
Hmmm.. can anyone tell me how come my "Tempura" doesn't look like "Tempura" at all ?
The taste is ok but the look was quite a failure. Nonetheless, CK said it was quite nice. Luckily we did not cook any rice or noodles as we were quite filled up eating all the fried items. BTW, the tube "wasabi" tasted terrible ... very much preferred the restaurant's wasabi.


These are the raw ingredients we got from super market except the crab sticks & prawns which were provided by my mum. I just marinated the prawns with little soya sauce to add flavour. The rest of the ingredients were fried the way they are ... naturally flavoured. As most of the ingredients were vegetables, you have to use relatively higher temperature to fry. Using lower flame would result your vegetables becoming soggy.


The finished look .... pretty disappointing. Felt deceived by the beautifully fried tempura on the tempura flour's box. Hahahaha ...

On the plate were: Sweet potato, green pepper chilli, mushrooms, eggplant, prawns & crabsticks. Alas, missed the sweet potato in Hokkaido terribly, they were so so sweet ! Yummy !
