Supermarket ready meals can look and taste great too. Bought a box of Sainsbury's slow-cooked lamb shanks with a mint and rosemary gravy. 45 minutes in the oven and served with creamy mashed potatoes, sugar snap peas, asparagus and blistered tomatoes. Looked good, tasted great!

Weekday lunches should be one-pot meals that can be prepared/assembled quickly and are well-balanced. Like this combo we had today. Rice, lentil cooked with spinach and peas, and some Skipjack Tuna Sambol. Tasty and filling.

That we absolutely love guacamole doesnā€™t mean we have to make it every time we buy some avocados. A perfectly ripe Hass can be delicious with just a hint of salt and lemon. And the dark green section is yummy just like that. However, today we added some smoked salmon to the toast, along with smashed avocados, and topped it with some chilli oil. Delicioso it was šŸ˜€

The Chinese Congee is quite similar to our Bengali Phenabhaat. Similar dishes exist throughout the Asian rice belt; however, this unfermented version of the overboiled, soft and creamy rice porridge has been a childhood favouriteā€”a comfort food, especially during the winter months. The Congee can optionally be served with a wide variety of toppings. Adding a Bengali touch, we used Mete Kosha or stir-fried chicken liver. The Congee itself was made with julienned ginger and chopped spring onions.

England has no shortage of good Chinese eateries. While the dishes served here differ from the Kolkata Chinese I grew up eating, I sometimes find similarities that make me nostalgic. Like the Hokkein Fried Rice we had yesterday at this small but excellent restaurant, Good Old Days Hong Kong Cuisine, in Caversham, Reading. It reminded us of our favourite Mixed Steam Rice served at the eating houses in Kolkataā€™s Old China Town. The only difference was that instead of steamed rice, we got egg fried rice here beneath the show-stopper sauce. This was the closest Kolkata Chinese we have had in the UK.Ā 

We also tried their Stir-Fried Ho Fun in Malaysian Style and Stir-Fried Sliced Beef with Chilli, Green Peppers, and Black Bean Sauce.

The food was lovely and the service friendly.
