Favourites

Everyone has their favourite lists of food. One of my favourites on the list is leeks. Am in the leeks mood these days, tonight I'm whipping up a dish that has to do with leeks again. I'm so glad Dubai import leeks, if not, I would be demoralised. haha.. what a word to describe! =P

I love food that are steamed & stir fried. They are easily prepared within afew minutes. Quick & easy is what I'm always on a look-out for. =)

Here's our dinner yesterday.
