Being from Malaysia, I have quite a penchant for Thai food. This could also be explained by the fact that most of my adolescent (high school years) years were spent living in Kedah (a northern Malaysian state that borders Thailand).

I was asked by a new friend to post the recipe of what I made for dinner last night.

This quick, easy dish can be served with lemon garlic butter & steamed green beans for a perfect meal. Ingredients Crab and scallop stuffing and fish: 4 oz jumbo lump crab meat (1 cup) 1/2 pound bay or sea scallops 1 1/2 tablespoons... Continue Reading
