littlestream, I read about your weekend plans and how you're
going to cook up a storm! 
You're living the sort of life I've been dreaming of since I was a
teen! Entertaining close friends now and then, and having guests
over at the house. 
This VIP I worked for, they're sooo rich, but they don't make use
of the facilities they have on their huge huge plot of land. Gee,
if I had their kind of wealth, I'd be holding poolside parties,
BBQ's and pajama parties frequently! 
Oh, littlestream, back to cooking! 
I bought six very large Angka Prawns yesterday. 'Angka'
as in Hokkien for 'red legs'! 
Cute name, right?
They're huge! They're about 4-5 times larger than the regular tiger
prawns! Sooo huge, soooo juicy! Since I only have a microwave right now, I
decided to see what I could do with what little I have. Bought the
Angka Prawns, bought a packet of Hot & Spicy Sauce meant for
steamed fish but I checked the ingredients list on the packet and
it sounded pretty good, esp since it had dou ban jiang in it, so I
tried microwaving the prawns with the sauce. Turned out sedap!
Yummy! The prawns were cooked
just right. Not bad, eh, my agak-logy (estimation)! Not easy to cook with the microwave and not
my appliance of choice but oh well, I have to make-do. 
Soooo tempted to purchase more kitchen appliances but have to
restrain myself because of my plans. Must always bear in mind my
ultimate plan from now on.
