While walking home, I decided to check in on one of the wet markets along the way. I was very much surprised to see LIVE tilapia (fish) being sold, I know I just had to buy at least a kilogram. I saw that he had mussels, too ... so I got myself half a kilo. Here is what I did with my loot. :P

| Drunken Mussles and Steamed Tilapia |
For the Drunken Mussels
- half a kilogram of mussels (cleaned and debearded)
- one onion, chopped
- five garlic cloves, chopped
- ginger (around an inch), chopped
- one tablespoon butter
- around a cup of beer
- chili
- Place the mussels in a container and dump in the other ingredients. Place inside steamer and cook until the shells have opened. Easy-peasy! :)
For the Steamed Tilapia
- fresh tilapia (cleaned and scales removed)
- garlic, ginger, onion, tomato (all sliced)
- salt, pepper, calamansi/lemon juice
- Place fish first then add in the other ingredients, except for the juice. Cook in steamer, for about twenty minutes. Once cooked, add in the juice. Remove and serve immediately.
I know, adding loads of mayonnaise in that steamed tilapia is not healthy. lol. But it tasted real good! Hubby and I had a feast that day. :D
Oh, before I forget: Happy Hearts Day!!!! :)
