Fish & Chips (Beer Battered)

Ahaa.. I've finally perfected one of my favourite Aussie meal of all time "FISH & CHIPS"... thanks to Jamie Oliver!!! Eating Fish & Chips at Cicerellos Fremantle was an all time favourite of mine.. and my DB.. and Cicerellos goes long back when it was just a shack deli and cost only AUD$5 for 2 pieces of big barramudi fish, 1 crabstick, 1 pineapple fritters, chips and a can of soft drink.. (15 years ago), but now.. it cost us AUD$12.60 (for just a piece of fish and some chips - serving somehow a lot smaller).. and you have to wait so long in line.. but nevertheless we still go when the cravings sets in..

lucky for me I can make it now.. hehe so yeah no need to rush to Manhattan Fish Market no more when we craved for some fish and chips..

Anyway, heres the recipe for all of you whose a Fish & Chips fans..

My version of Waldorf Salad

I love to eat salad and I remember back in High School during cooking lesson in class, we made Waldorf salad.. actually its been ages since I had these (last time was in one of the restaurant at KLCC, Malaysia - few years ago).. so yeah dunno why suddenly wanted to make this..

Since I didnt have any grapes, I substituted it with raisins and instead of mayonnaise, I made my salad to be lighter by using the pre-made herb vinaigrette salad sauce and since I loved to eat vegetable, I added a lot of other vegetable..

Anyway, heres is my version of the recipe:-
