Batam Reprise

We've been going to Batam fairly regularly now that I've stopped travelling for work, and this time round we cooked curry chicken and mixed vegetables with the kids.

As usual, the trip started with a visit to the local market

I thawt I thaw a puddy cat.

The snappers were huge.

We stopped at the chicken stall to buy 10 chickens.

And the dry goods stall for oyster sauce

We saw a few poor birds get slaughtered while waiting

All the dried fish on display

We finally made it to the orphanage, all ready to chop and cook

And got the kids to join in this time

Curry in a hurry

We cooked cabbage and carrots with garlic and oyster sauce

In went the cabbage

Mixing it all up

And someone hit on the brilliant idea of adding fishballs to the veggies. They were a hit!

Curry all done and ready to serve, with potatoes and tau pok

Ready to eat
