Dinner

The tempura didn’t turn out as expected partly due to the soda water. I happen to have a can of ‘Anything’ and I assumed it was white cos the previous can was white!

Turns out its dark brown… tasted just like coke.

Anyhow, I used it for the tempura batter and everything turns out brown. Taste wise, it’s pretty close to tempura.

I also forgot to make little cuts on the inside of the curved prawn so that they look nicer with straight posture.
