some more pics

mustard...tomate, terragon n greenpeppercorn


this weeks sardine dish...sardines back again..
happy times...tris hanged on to me for dear life when I tried to bring him into the ocean..ended up lying on the seashore, him sitting on papa's lap amazed at the bubbles.. innocence at its purest. 
Best part of my day...even better than cooking. Priceless.

some other happenings

Alot of guest ask me what I do during the day when I'm not in the kitchen....tons....one of them, spending time with my kid.  He is as restless as his Daddy.

we was counting ships at east coast n tris wud get all excited when the plane come into changi. From afar when he spots them, he'd say:"Daddy small aeroplane....then as they got closer...I'l say:"Tris, Big aeroplane". That's just simply...a great joy.

Have you tried this? You shud,. I cud eat a whole box myself

Jeremy's macarons.. the best I've had n I've worked in the pastry kitchen at the westin for two years...this is damn good.. salted caramel.
someone the other night commented that this was the best pork chop she'd ever had.  I excused myself, went back into the kitchen, knelt down on the floor n balled my eyes out ;-) NOT.  It is what makes it all worth while.  The appreciation.
Thanks for liking it. 

Girolles

Product Feature No.2 this week is the Girolles Mushroom.  I still haven't decided on what to do with them. Definitely they will be served with scrambled egg this coming sunday for brunch. But check with my lovely wife Rose if you coming in to try these babies out. I might serve them with fin de claires grilled n some parmesan cheese. Bon Apetit!

Chef Cuisinier Jeremy

I had a visit from Jeremy, an old friend of mine. We met in Brown Sugar when I was helping out a friend for an event.  I remember Jeremy was really interested in cooking and becoming a chef but like most Singaporean kids, peer pressure and the lack of support n understanding from the family ultimately forces them into another career path.
I remember knocking off work, Jeremy n I shared a cab, I was heading home, he was heading to his rugby training. In the cab, he asked me tons of questions bout cooking.  I knew he was facing this difficult choice of weather to pursue his love for cooking or a University degree..... that was years back.
We kept in touch here n there. He's kept his promise to his family by completing his degree n he's also on his spare time kept working on his cooking skills.
He finally came to eat at my restaurant-honestly I wudden call it a restaurant, to celebrate his 6 months anniversary with his girlfriend. I cooked them a couple of dishes, he was well pleased. Did a write-up on his blog - bforbolognaise.blogspot.com , calls me the Ninja Chef- I don't know why... I read up on couple of his posts n only then did I realised that he's been keeping himself really busy besides attending Uni.
He makes macarons n ice cream on his spare time n also teaches cooking at Totts, the new Sia Huat outlet in Bukit Timah. I called Jeremy, thank him for putting me on his blog and also ordered some of his macarons to try. Woah....addictive...very addictive.  I was planning to feature them as my dessert at the restaurant but I ended up eating almost half of them. I still have a couple more to spare, so this week's feature r Jeremy's hard toiled Macarons. To make them as perfect looking as they are in a commercial bakery is hard enough but to make them at home....now that's an achievement.
So, come on down, try them yourself, and if you think they're as addictive as I do...... you can order them at www.oooh-jam.com
