Post #39 - mum's day

its mummy's day today!! this year, mum prefered to stay at home rather than to eat out, which means that sis and i had to cook. we've been scratching our heads as to what to cook for mum. its so easy when it comes to cooking for dad, cos we'd know right away that seafood/sashimi/steak would please him. mum on the other hand eats anything but doesnt like anything in particular... well, other than bread anyway... but we cant really serve bread on mummy's day!

so we've decided on 2 v diff dishes but both perfect for a cold winters day - seafood soup and korean bibimbap :)

the seafood soup recipe is from the gourmet traveller magazine - currently my favourite food magazine!! a lot of yummy seafood in one pot of soup - scampi, bream fillet, redfish fillet + mussels! a bit expensive but fabulous for special occasion.


-Mediterranean seafood soup-

super tasty and sweet soup, but the flavour wasnt strong at all because of the veg goodness - onion, fennel, celery, cherry tomato, potato and a little pinch of saffron!!

sis' korean bibimbap - i helped with preparing the spinach, the chinese mushrooms and the bean sprouts! :)

hope mummy had a happy mummy's day~ :)
