Weekend in Batam: Documenting Our 3-Days Family Adventure

My Inspiration Behind This Trip I’ve always held onto a personal goal: to bring my parents on at least one proper trip out of Singapore every year. Something that would give them that genuine holiday excitement; that specific thrill of packing a proper suitcase and getting their passports stamped at the border. My dad actually has a long bucket list of places he’d love to see. But realistically, time and age are catching up, and we have to be very mindful of my mum’s physical pace, mental and stamina as well. Long-haul flights just aren't as feasible anymore, so I have to be intentional about finding destinations that are comfortable yet exciting for them. The spark for this specific trip happened when I passed my dad a pile of Batam travel brochures. As we were flipping through, one specific image caught all of our attention: the Pink Beach .  When I headed down to the travel agency to get more details, my mind was set.

[RECIPE] Steamed Fish Fillet



[RECIPE PERFECT FOR 2]

I'm one that goes for discounts and offers in the supermarkets and every time I go Giant, I will look into the freezers for such deals. Frozen fish fillets always have great offers so how not to grab them home? Nowadays, seafood and fish are quite expensive (so are poultry) at wet markets so the cheaper option will be frozen ones (okay not all are cheap but keep your eyes open and you will find the best deal). And can be kept longer in the freezer if you don't cook often like us (we are weekend homecook). Whether it is meant for deep fry, bake or steam, the ingredients that we get for ourselves will always serve us in their very best way. 

Ingredients:

3 slices of fish fillet, slice into half

Preferred amount of salt, pepper and sesame oil 
(for seasoning, leave the seasoned fillet in the fridge for at least an hour or more before steaming)

Spring onions, chopped
(for garnishing)

Sauce:

Preferred amount of: soya bean paste, minced garlic, sugar, oyster sauce, chilli paste, chicken broth and mix well together. Do a taste test before adding more, if needed.

Method:

1. Turn on the heat and boil a suitable amount of water in the pot. Once the water is boiled, put in the seasoned fillets and steam for 10 mins. 

2. After 10 mins, bring out the plate and pour away the excess water from the steaming. Do not turn off the heat. Pour the sauce over the fillets and bring to steam for another 2-3 mins. 

3. Turn off the heat and garnish with spring onions.
