SPICY FRIED FISH MASALA

yayyyy!! im visiting my aunt in Singapore! I desperately need the break….time to give  ‘little Aaliya’ to my aunt and have some time to do my own things.
My daughter is more excited than me to see more faces than just the usual ‘amma’s ‘ and ‘papa’s ‘ face….
‘The more the merrier”.
The best part of this trip was that I have alot of time to work on my blog….FINALLY!
We stay in a rented appartment in kuala lumpur, malaysia at the moment.Probably will be moving soon. So we dont have any fancy stuff that i could use to plate my food so i can lovely pictures like my other fellow bloggers 🙁
So I am super excited that Im staying wit my aunt for the time being.
