STEAM FISH THAI STYLE/IKAN KUKUS ALA THAI

The children went for bowling, I went for my medical check up, so we skipped lunch yesterday. Tyca mood wasn't good either, may be because of her Add Maths paper. To cheer her up and to ensure that she is in her jolly good mood for tomorrow Physics paper, I prepared dinner the family's favorite, Steam Fish Thai Style, Stir Fried Asparagus with Straw Mushroom and Mayo Omlette.

I spent roughly RM30 for these three dishes. How much it gonna cost you if you dine outside? I bet double the price. So why waste?
