Grilled chicky, salted black bean bittergourd, steamed fishie

New dishy from papa and mama! Mama fried black bean with bittergourd that was a bit salty and a bit raw but the gluttons, together with pretty damsie ate everything up. The gluttons also decided to play with the new grill and grilled some marinated chicken that was a bit too salty and not-that-cooked.
The steamed fishy was yum yyum with lots of spring onions and ginger! But too bad damsie dun really like fishie never eat alot and the glutton mama and papa eat and eat everything up!

Who washed the dishy? As usual...damsie!!
