Oh, mine was much less fancy than this. Google images made this particular meal.

Alright, so this isn’t officially the first meal I’ve cooked on my own, but it is the first meal I’ve cooked on my own from scratch in this apartment. You’d think because of my ethnicity and 100% solidarity when choosing “asian” in the age old, slightly racist, meal time question “white or asian?” I’d make something like beef and broccolli, or sweet and sour pork.. pho even.

But, I did not. I made fried fish. Romo, you’re not the only Pilipinong up in this hizouse.

Sadly, it wasn’t ultra flip fish, just salmon. And rice. Setting off the fire alarm was also like having a poorly DJ’d party in my kitchen. Still, so good in my belleh.
