    Hi Soke Hah, this dish is good for my family. I don't have to fight for the prawns cos' I love the onions and ginger more than the prawns.

    Hi Ivy, the prawns can actually be deep fried then quickly stir fried with the other ingredients. More fragrant but slightly oily.

    Hi Phong Hong, taucheong is good with seafood and even meat like chicken and pork. You even have a choice in texture [coarse or fine] and taste [salty or sweet].
