Cooking by Candlelight

After too many salty / oily meals, we resigned to cook a good meal at home. A stop off at the market, we bought a pricey fresh fish (30 rmb) and a fresh chicken (20 rmb). And fresh veggie, tofu, etc.

On arriving home though, found that there was no electricity in my house! On enquiring with the attendants it seemed an engineer had come that day and updated the electricity meters, but as I wasn't home he wasn't able to check that everything was working.

Anyway, we bought some candles and set about cooking by candlelight. Steamed fish with ginger and spring onions of course (delicious), steamed chicken pieces with ginger, chinese mushrooms and soy sauce (also delicious), and mountain piles of boiled veggie.

Wonderful... Good fun. Great photos too!
