Cereal pumpkin

My family started eating pumpkin when we cognized of its goodness. My mum never cook pumpkin cos she finds it not too palatable, and perhaps 'unusual'.

We started eating pumpkin when my dad cooks it with his porridge and I used it for my ABC soup which turns the standings of it. Now, it has become my mum's staple as she slowly converts to a vegetarian!


I wanted to cook something interesting with pumpkins.


In the kitchen, I found this:

Hong Lai spices "crispy prawn with cereal"

I tried not cooking it with prawns since my dad is a vegetarian, and in the fridge, TADA! I

found a almost-ripen-to-rot pumpkin!
