I love sleeping in and then having the time to whip up a lovely hearty Sunday brunch..
Fresh Angus beef sausages with parsley and roast garlic, wilted spinach, sauteed mushrooms, sunny-side-up egg, pan-grilled truss tomato, baked beans, and garlic butter prawns. Mmhmm. x)
Also made cucur udang (prawn fritters), which certainly looked more presentable than the burnt lumps of cucur pisang (mashed banana fritters) I made the previous day.
All washed down with a couple of Nudies :)
I love Nudies but this green concoction of juice + spirulina/green tea/wheat grass/passion flower was perhaps a little too ambitious for my taste buds.
Kitteh spies over neighbourhood
After cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, we decided to head to Shorncliffe... The tide was coming in and because it was a Sunday evening, the jetty was pretty much deserted and we had a great time fishing in the company of an amiable geophysicist who kept us entertained with his jokes and muses.
The wind died down, the moon was bright, and it was a beautiful starry night. ★ The water was so clear (even at night) that we could see little puffies and schools of pike swimming around!
Something huge took on Eddie's bait but alas, he lost it in the midst of fighting it. He thinks it was probably a shark judging from the way it ran (stingrays don't run- they suction themselves to the seabed and stubbornly refuse to budge), and the way the line seemed to have been cut clean with serrated teeth.
I caught a variety of smaller fish, but this was the only one we brought home:
It certainly satiated my cravings for fresh bream! I just can't quite describe the taste of fish which had been alive minutes before it hit the fryer...
Even Mariah could not resist, we had to pry her away from the plate haha.

Great end to another great weekend, I can't wait for the next one to come around!
