last night i was blessed and able to try patagonia’s roasted garlic spanish mackerel! (google pic bc i was in an area with terrible lighting)
y’all. this shit was SO. GOOD. i’ve never had mackerel before at all but heard such good things about this brand, being able to find it at central market was a pleasant surprise :))
i pan fried some sourdough in the olive oil it came in (lil garlic pieces 🥹) and paired with little tomatoes, onions, and two options of hummus and cream cheese! both were delicious but i’m a cream cheese fan so. obv that’s the move
will be getting this again.. might use pickled onions next instead and fresh tomatoes when the garden tomatoes are ready :)) so excited. god bless

Mum don’t often buy this vegetable but here is Leek & Prawn Stir-Fry in oyster sauce with minced pork. Next is Spicy Red Snapper & Bamboo Shoot with tomato in our very own chilli paste blend. The mild, sweet onion taste of the leeks and spicy freshness of the fish makes for a good match with the steamed rice.

Basque Gambas with Creamy Tomato Sauce
I made these mouth-watering Basque Gambas with Creamy Tomato Sauce on Bastille Day as Jules was home for a few days, and it brought back recent but very fond memories of our holiday in the Basque Country. I attempted to recreate a dish I ate in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. I believe they make a creamy pepper sauce at La Diva restaurant, but this was just as tasty! Happy Tuesday!
Ingredients (serves 3):
1 tablespoon Chili and Herb Oil
15 to 18 fresh gambas (King prawns) (about 500 grams/1.10 pound)
1/4 teaspoon Piment d’Espelette (a hot chili from the Basque Country) (or Cayenne pepper)
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 large shallot
a good bunch Garden Parsley
1 large, ripe tomato
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes
1/4 teaspoon Piment d’Espelette (or Cayenne pepper)
1 lemon
1/2 tablespoon caster sugar
1/3 cup double cream
In a large, deep skillet, heat Chili and Herb Oil over a high flame. Once hot, add the gambas, and cook, stirring often, until they turned bright pink, and just start browning. Sprinkle with Piment d’Espelette and cook, another minute or two. Transfer gambas to a plate; set aside.
Add olive oil in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-high.
Peel and finely chop shallot, and stir into the skillet. Cook, a couple of minutes. Finely chop most of the Garden Parsley, saving some for garnish, and stir into the skillet. Cook, 1 minute more.
Dice tomato, and add, along with its juice, to the skillet. Cook, stirring, often, a few minutes, until tomato collapses into a sauce. Add garlic, cook 1 minute more. Season with fleur de sel and Piment d’Espelette.
Thoroughly squeeze in the juice of the lemon. Cook, another couple of minutes. Then, stir in sugar until dissolved.
Add double cream, and return reserved gambas to the skillet. Give a good stir, coating generously in the sauce.
Finely chop remaining Parsley.
Serve Basque Gambas with Creamy Tomato Sauce hot, sprinkled with chopped Parsley, rice, and a glass of well-chilled white or rosé Irouléguy.

1 lb. medium pasta (such as gemelli or casarecce)
Kosher salt
2 lb. ripe tomatoes (3–4 large)
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
3 Tbsp. white miso
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
Thinly sliced seasoned toasted seaweed snacks and torn basil leaves (for serving)
Step 1
Cook 1 lb. medium pasta (such as gemelli or casarecce) in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup pasta cooking liquid.
Step 2
Meanwhile, slice a thin round off the bottoms of 2 lb. ripe tomatoes (3–4 large). Starting at cut end, grate each tomato on the large holes of a box grater into a medium bowl until all that’s left is the flattened tomato skin and stem; discard skins and stems.
Step 3
Mix 2 Tbsp. fish sauce and 3 Tbsp. white miso in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 4
Heat 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large high-sided skillet or a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Add grated tomatoes along with any liquid and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly reduced, 5–7 minutes. Add fish sauce mixture and cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Add pasta, 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces, and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring often and adding reserved pasta cooking liquid as needed, until butter is melted and pasta is coated, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Divide pasta among bowls and top with thinly sliced seasoned toasted seaweed snacks and torn basil leaves.

Went for an early dinner at Kopitiam Food Hall within the premise of Sembawang MRT Station with mum. She wanted something light so she chose a bowl of Sliced Fish Bee Hoon Soup (鱼片米粉汤) with thick rice vermicelli, plenty of lettuces, seaweed, tomato and fried shallots.
As for me, I took the western route and ordered the Chicken Cutlet with Nacho Cheese (S$6). Beside the fried chicken cutlet and cheese sauce, there is also a soft boiled or onsen egg, lettuce and tomato. Portion is a little small so it is good to add a bowl of rice if you are game for it.
