Home-made fish patties

Bento for 1/8/09

Breaded and pan-fried ground fish cakes. Super delicious! They were a little tough so I asked our maid to add some more water and maybe a little baking powder to the mixture before shaping, breading and frying them. Yes, our maid made them. She bought some fish from the wet market, and she told me that this was the fish they use to make fishballs. She scraped off the fish meat, added some flour, salt, pepper and sugar. They are actually quite good on their own, and very tasty! So much better than store-bought fish ball. I made a little curry mayo as dip.

With rolled lettuce, ham and cheese, tomatoes and peeled kiat-kiat (tiny, sweet oranges).
