Deep Fried Quails!

Today's dinner was a special treat for the kids: fried quail! Its not a usual dish I cook for dinner but was one I remember eating as a child. Its not same same way my mom makes it but is something I wanted my kids to be able to experience. Another popular dish I remember as a kid is a soup made from "black chicken" (AKA silkies) and various Chinese herbs. The kids don't like seeing the black chicken so I usually keep it in the pot and only serve the liquid part of the soup. It may look weird but it taste good and good for you!!!

  1. Wow Lan, those quails look soooo good, my mouth is watering :P I've never tried frying them, but I marinate them and grill them.
