Prawns On Toast

This recipe brings  back  some wonderful childhood memories. As kids our parents used to take my sis and I to this wonderful little chinese restaurant on weekends.It was upto us to decide where to eat and my sis and I agreed only on one thing in those days and that was to eat here. Every weekend without fail we would eat there and order this amazing starter called Prawns on toast there. I have never in my life tasted anything as wonderful as that and we were there so regularly that  the waiters over there stopped taking our order , they used to bring it to us straight away.
Sadly , nothing good lasts forever , the management changed in that restaurant and it was never the same and we stopped going there but after eating it so many times , I decided that I would try and make this and after various attempts at it I finally got it almost right not fully right but for now this will do , hope you enjoy it as much as I do so here goes , try it I am sure you will like it .

  3. you are so right it does bring back memories... Oh it tasted so good every time we went to the restaurant we would order prawns on toast.... and then one day we decided to make it and called the grocer for bread and told him specifically to bring the bread dated day before and the surprised voice of his i could never forget 'WHy do you need old bread when everyone makes sure they get fresh from the oven ?' hahaha what does he know that's the secret right sis?

  4. These look delicious! My mom makes a dish called potatoes on toast that is similar (minus the prawns) and I bet she'd love the seafood version! :)
