Udang Goreng Kecap Manis - Stir Fried Prawns in Indonesian Sweet Soy Sauce

One fine day, I just missed this Indo-Chinese seafood dish we always eat at home.

I remember during my primary school years, I picked up my best friend to school, was invited inside to have a "quickie" breakfast, and was shocked to be served the udang goreng mentega dish with steamed rice...for BREAKFAST!!!

But it was truly yummy and I licked my plate totally clean.

A stingy bitch that I am, I refrain from buying seafood, especially prawns as they are expensive and won't make me full. (Yes I am also a big eater). But OK I allowed myself to splurge this once.
