Went to Jumbo Seafood Restaurant at their flagship restaurant at East Coast Park to celebrate the parents’ birthday early (thanks to my bro who’ll be overseas for a month).

Open Face Sandwich with Spinach, Avocado, Smoked Salmon & Special Shrimp

So, I pulled a few items from the fridge and made this simple open face sandwich but you can always opt to make it a clean salad. Ingredients:1 slice of bread, toasted (I used wholewheat)1/2 avocado,...
