ANYONE FOR A CHINESE MEAL ??

It has been a harrowing week - started off with pouring rain on Sunday, the road outside our condominium sinking in, 2 cars getting caved in, my son falling sick - ooof

Poor Aakash - having to eat the most boring food due to his bad throat.  Yesterday he finally threw a fit and demanded something interesting.  Poor chap.  So like the dutiful mother [I try ;)] I decided to make him Chinese or at least the Indianised version of Chinese.

It was a simple meal of Fried Rice, Hot Garlic Mushrooms and Salt and Pepper Chilli Prawns.

Great to see a smile on his face after a week.
