Sourdough toast w whipped cottage cheese + mussels à la vinagreta + pickled fennel + red onion + mint. Picked this can up on my trip to Porto, though am aware it features Galician mussels. Really yummy.

It would’ve been better with parsley or coriander but I only had mint, and actually turned out to be a nice surprise.

Growing up in Malaysia, I almost always ordered the roasted chicken version rather than the classic poached one. I kept the Hainanese chicken rice technique of rendering the chicken fat, toasting the garlic, ginger and jasmine rice, then baked the chicken on top of the rice to finish. So it’s somewhere between Malaysian roast chicken rice and a one-pan chicken pilaf.

Served with homemade ginger-scallion oil, cucumber, and a quick chilli sauce made by jazzing up Maggi Malaysian Recipe Chilli Sauce with lime, garlic and ginger.
