Personal story
It might look awfully unpleasing, but the taste is good! The recipe i follow was quite different, we should boil the unchopped pokchoy for 2 minutes, and the gravy should be poured on top of the boiled pokchoy. However, I am too lazy to prepare twice (boiling pot + sauce pan for the gravy) , plus we don't have that fancy flat long/oval shapped plate like the ones you see in Chinese food restaurant to nicely serve this kind of food. So chop the pokchoy and stir fry it together with the gravy it is! 🤪 

I have lost interest in cooking for long, however, after cooking the ebi furai several days ago, I am now passionate about cooking again. This pokchoy one is not that kind of fancy dish I try to master, it was just I was hungry and there was no food at home. There is always a emergency dish called instant noodle, plus I had Gekikara Carbo I have never tried and was so curious and excited to try, but cooking instant noodle was not challenging. I love instant noodle, but I have eaten two about 3 days ago, so it might be not a wise choice. And this kind of emergency dish is nice for the tongue but not for the tummy. Not that it made me get fat easily, but my tummy doesn't feel really good after eating unhealthy food. I think about the 'after taste' too. And mom told me there were pokchoy and boiled chicken + the broth in the fridge. So I cooked. 

This pokchoy could be modified in any way you want.. Add fish sauce, soy sauce (I planned to, but the sauce had already salty so I cancelled adding any soy sauce at all) , totole, mushroom (I'd really glad too, but there was no mushroom left in the fridge) 

Yesterday I had just got my driving license, i look awfully ugly on it, it honestly dropped my mood 😂 I thank my bro very much for this unique birthday gift, lend his soon-to-be-sold car to use + driving car lesson + the driving license. Thankyou thankyou thankyou!! I am so excited. Today want to drive the far to go to try ramen in Sukajadi. Hope we all arrive safe and complete. Haha.

***Karena salah menghitung jumlah tepung roti yang digunakan, akhirnya ada sisa tepung roti. Supaya ga mubazir, beberapa udang saya baluri kocokan telur dan tepung roti lagi (total 3x lapis tepung roti) dan hasilnya tebal banget. Rasanya jadi rasa tepung dan jadinya mblenger (semacem eneg in Javanese). Lapis 2x lebih enak, lebih kerasa udangnya, dan tampilannya juga lebih cantik proporsional. 

Personal story
Mom bought these shrimps and she told me she was gonna make kinda sour and sweet shrimp which I dislike. So I asked her permission to cook her shrimp in my own way (this deep fried ebi furai) and she let me do so, hehehe, thank you Mom ^^
Took me the whole day to cook this one. Quite exhausting, but I super love the result and I am satisfied! It tasted so good. I went outside and took good photographs of them as well. Mom said it tasted good as well. My sis didn't say anything but she added the salad and ebi furai to her plate, I assumed that's her way of silently approving this dish.

Today, just today, this very morning, half awake me going to bathroom in half darkness, when my eyes met an unknown moving object. I thought...
