Quaker Oats with Marmite – The Ultimate Comfort Food

As all i had was just a bowl of Curry Noodles at Oldtown Kopitiam this evening, i’m famished by now. It’s almost 2am here, k. What do you expect, huh. I’ve had enough of rice and noodles, and i’m sick of eating bread, blekkkk.

Quaker Oats with Marmite

On my way to the kitchen, i noticed i still have a can of unfinished Quaker Oats. And i’m so happy to find that there’s Marmite too. I love Quaker Oats with Marmite. Can never go wrong with this combination.

Quaker Oats with Marmite and Sesame Oil

With just some hot water and a spoonful of Marmite, i get a bowl of healthy and nutritious comfort food for supper. As for the brown liquid on the surface of the Quaker Oats, that’s just a dash of Organic Sesame Oil.

Quaker Oats with Marmite and Fried Fish

I found a piece of Fried Fish inside the rice cooker. My MIL fried two for my FIL, but he only ate one. And so, i added the Fried Fish to my bowl of nutritious Quaker Oats with Marmite. Delicious and satisfying. Isnt this the ultimate comfort food for supper?

Homecooked Fish Porridge with Dried Scallops

Both Malcolm and i just recovered not too long ago and it’s best we dont eat too much normal food, lol. On the other hand, Malcolm only wants to eat porridge and mashed vegetables now since he’s teething. As all we have in abundance in this household is seafood, i’ve decided to make Fish Porridge with Dried Scallops today.

Fish fillet

You dont really need much ingredients for this Homecooked Fish Porridge with Dried Scallops. What is see here is a bowl of fish fillet marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil, a small amount of salt, sugar and pepper. I added some chopped ginger to it also. Ginger is used to remove the fishy smell and also to keep your body warm after taking it. Presoak some dried scallops in a bowl of water for a short while.

Pot of porridge

I dont think i need to explain how porridge is cooked, right. Remember to add the scallops into the pot when cooking the porridge or it wont be soft enough. The scallops adds a sweet taste to the porridge, iLike!!! Once the porridge is cooked, add the marinated fish fillet in and give it a light stir to mix it well. Not too hard or it’ll break up into very small pieces. The heat from the cooked porridge is enough to cook the fish fillet.

Bottle of Ghee Hiang sesame oil

Even though the fish fillet is marinated with some Ghee Hiang sesame oil, i still prefer to add a few more drops of it to the fish porridge with dried scallops before i serve it. Too bad, i dont see any spring onions in the fridge, or else i would have chopped some and add them to the porridge too and top it with a dash of pepper. You may want to add a dash of soy sauce to it too if you like.
