Chunky chowder

I was in Isetan grocery the other day, looking at slabs of salmon fillets and flinching at the price. Then, I saw a pack of Salmon bones (with a lot of meat). So back home, I researched on recipes for salmon bones.

I typed 'how to cook salmon bones?', and out popped some sites. A girl also asked the same question in Yahoo! Answers and a dude suggested Salmon chowder, and provided the recipe.

*Light bulb!* I know then that it would become a project.

So last night (Friday), I went to Isetan to buy the SGD2.50 salmon bones and then went to Cold Storage to buy the remaining ingredients (evaporated milk, corn). Since I was there, I bought a lot of other stuff as well (Philippine bananas, organic apple, salmon fillets , Vitagen cultured milk drink, cheese spread and etc.. I find happiness doing the grocery (on a Friday night). Talk about my lack of night life. But then, I was never the 'clubbin' type of girl. I hate noise, I don't like crowd.

Anyway, it took almost 2 hours for the entire process.

The verdict: It's a bit watery and sweet (might be from the milk or corn). I guess I have to put it less water next time. Overall, it's an okay comfort food, and I'm proud of myself.
