The highlight of today is giant prawns.

My mum roasted these giant prawns on banana leaf for my post breakfast snack.

And as the day concludes, I sit here at my computer thinking what my highlight of the day was, apart from the women’s table tennis, the PM national day rally which started off really light hearted and even a tad humorous , the eighth gold for phelps, the defeat for lee chong wei, marveling at the speed marathons can be completed, trying to understand how one competes in the indoor biking, etc and I realise it’s the giant prawn that stole my heart for today.

giant prawns

huge prawns the size of my entire hand. not just the palm mind you, but the hand.

They could pass off as baby lobsters. They tasted smoky and it was just most fun dissecting the prawn head and picking at every edible flesh.

I never would have realised when I was eating the prawns this morning that they would actually be the highlight of my sunday today…
