............SO YUM...............@................So Yum..............................

.......So today, there was a separation of the sexes in our home ,,,, boys , three of them, to be numerically accurate, and their dad, my husband, whom i shall enthusiastically   (well , most of the time, anyway, ok ,  to be politically correct, some of the time)   refer to as 'A'..........in my writings .......... bade us girls,  myself and my daughter , "Adios".........in favour of  the WWE World Tour.   Tickets were bought in my physical presence, months ago, "four tickets,please".... with no invitation for us felines...........WELL,,,,,,,,we didnt want to go anyway!!!!!!!!

    that left Nabeela and i with a whole glorious Sunday afternoon.........free.........and i have been thinking about this particular Sunday in question, for a few days now..... what were we going to do?..........i had the answer,,,,quite proudly and defiantly ,  i announced to the boys and to  A that we , us girls were going to see a chick flick.."Bridesmaids"......oh yes,,,,, see you later guys,,,,,,,,toodledoo.....................
......@ the movies i realized....nope....we cudnt do the movie thing.... age restriction!..big thing in our home....and now im really thinking....what are we going to do.......the rumblings of my tummy........came to our rescue........off course........lunch!......but wait.....lets indulge, today,,,, after all,, wev been ditched, sniff sniff,,,,,,,,,,and when it comes to food,,,,,,,grin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 



  'so yum'.......is a favourite restaurant that A and i tend to frequent......... asian fusion cuisine,,,,asian style tapas,,,oodles of noodles.......soothing teas,,,,,,,,all in a sexy , sophisticated setting........it doesnt get any better,,,,, i do believe in exposing keedos to all and sundry , in terms of food  ,,, keedos , all four of them, , including Mikaeel, six years old, will happily tuck into platter after platter of sushi,,,,,,,manouvering those chopsticks with skill,,,,,,,,,its only mum, who just cant get the hang of those bloody sticks!!!!!!!! i eat my sushi with my hands,,,,,,,,its finger food,, after all............... 

 



we ordered prawn dim sum.......which is prawn steamed in a rice pastry,,,,this could be a bit bland on its own,,,,,,,,,,it has to be dipped into a fish soy sauce with chopped green chillis........the melange of tastes is subtle yet strong and spicy......its addictive!..........wasabi coated peanuts , complimentary,,,,,,and i really wanted to ask for more!,,,,,,,,,,Mains were cantonese noodles...pad thai with prawns,,,,,,,,,, the asians use similar spices ,  akin to indian spices,,, yet the variation in the outcomes of the taste of their dishes is so so different..in comparison to an indian curry........

                                i wouldnt play one off against the other,,,,,,,,theyre both unique and can be appreciated seperately.......we can eat indian today ......and .........asian tomorrow,,,,,,,,,,,after all.........variety is the spice of life!!...................

cantonese pad thai with prawns,oyster mushrooms,peppers,


spices for sprinkling over your dish,,sweet,strong and sour
