    okay i can fix that we dno..i can take the fig, tania and yam , slice them nicely,and instead of the fish head take the body of the fish the person have in the freezer and make a cooboyon gravy or coconut gravy, with that nicely designed with the onions

    DNO….I think you should discontinue this Photo of the Day feature because all people do is ridicule the efforts others while they don’t even attempt to send one photo themselves. I always enjoy Photo of the Day because it is just normal people taking pictures of ordinary things among them but it seems many don’t appreciate the effort of others. I myself have sent photos before but has discontinued for the same reason mentioned above.

    ADMIN: You do have a point. Many people refuse to send us photos because because posters ridicule them. Again, the feature is not for professional photographers taking perfect photos of perfect things. We definitely will consider your point.

    October 3, 2012

    inspite of all the negative comments.. i can honestly say that fish head is not favorite part of the fish but the dish looks good to me. the brown flour dumplings and spinach are a plus. some people complaining about the shape of the dumplings but everybody is different soo it doesnt really matter. there is alot of starch on the plate but this is a good enough lunch, atleast for me. i just need it hot with a little pepper sauce and potatoes! Love this type of food… better than KFC or other greasy food. :mrgreen:
