blue cheese with jam 

wife bought some nice cheese.

we had a wonderful wine & cheese evening on 26.1.2017! ^^

cheese board 

wife bought a really nice blue cheese, which was super taken just like that or topped with some fruit jam.

cheese goes well with anything citrus thingy, so fruit compote, jam, dried fruits like apricots & dates, even fig would be excellent accompaniments.

we had 3 cheeses- in addition to the superb blue cheese, we had a truffle cheese which was great with the wafer crackers, with or w/o jam; and another cheese which went perfectly with truffle honey. this truffle honey & cheese combination was a lot more flavourful than the truffle cheese standalone.

wine & cheese 

& of course we had a very good red to go with the cheese.

truffle oil mentaiko capellini with salmon

wife added the usual truffle oil, little seasalt,  a bit extra virgin olive oil, little mentaiko & tossed.

the winning difference is the salmon.

this a japanese mentaiko marinated salmon from isetan at shaw house.

salmon was top draw, and the combination of taste was just wonderful! ^^

topped off with some cut nori – seaweed…

really nice, tasty salmon.

& the slight salty salmon enhanced & brought out the flavours of the truffle oil pasta.

she tried some cheap black lumpfish caviar.

nice too but not comparable with the salmon take.

ika sugatayaki

i tried ika sugatayaki, which just means whole squid grilled.

momor izakaya’s ika sugatayaki – grilled whole squid – really good! 

a lightyear cry from momor izakaya’s ika sugatayaki la!

ika sugatayaki

anyhow, taste was better than the last but squid was also slight overcooked.

as wife said, need to grill for shorter time about 12mins then torched it.
