My cooking 1 - Golden Pepper Prawn Fritters

I can only cook while my mom's not at home. She always said I mess up her kitchen, and I am slow, careless... yup, no objection, I admit I am. So, this time, she went to China with my dad for 8 days, the kitchen and house are all mine.
Yesterday night checked through my mom recipe, chosing which I want to cook and what "ingredient" I need to buy.
This morning, I went to the pasar with my list of "ingredient". Obviously, everybody know I don't belong to pasar, but all the uncle, antie very helpful, they don't over-charge me and they know I don't know how to choose what I need, so they will ask me how am I going to cook it before recommand things for me. Like the pork stall auntie, initially she thought I want the meat to cook in soup, and actually have cut the meat for me already, then later she saw me holding the list, knowing that I was so "fresh" in cooking and buying thing from pasar, she asked me what I want the meat to cook for? Then I want to cook something like steak with tomato and chilli source. Wah, she so good, put down the meat and cut another leaner meat for me.
Since tonight I'm eating alone, so I only cooked for 1 dish - golden pepper prawn fritters. But first of all I need to prepare the fish paste. Here's the fish paste that I do. Believe me, this is a very tiring procedure, need to scrape out the flesh, then have to pound, stir with some seasoning until it become sticky.

See, so smooth.
Here's the recepi
I modified the recipi a little, instead of using plain bread, I used wholemeal
Frying
Finished!
A little overcook, but smell and taste not bad
Yum, yum, the prawn so fresh
