Delivered 6pax Zichar Dinner for Brother’s Family on 23Jul2020




made 6pax zichar dinner for yong siu family on 23.7.2020. ^^
- meen si (lime taujeon) steamed song fish head 松鱼头
- salted egg bittergourd
- 干炒牛河 fried beef horfun
- 滑蛋海鲜河粉 seafood horfun with egg & gravy
first time experiment cooking hor fun & using chee cheong fun (ccf)..jessie gave the ccf but wife and i don’t really take so use it to make horfun. lol!
got to use actual hor fun ..ccf too thin i cannot brown it on cast iron or non stick wok with or w/o oil…the 2 horfun tasty but i guess not much wokhae..may try again with real horfun instead of ccf.



my steamed fish head good standard like outside.
bittergourd still bitter despite repeated washing and soaking in water. maybe got to boil in water first. will see.
the 2 horfun were pretty tasty but not really much wokhae so cannot really c/w good horfun outside.
maybe will try again with the actual horfun from wet market.

Sumptuous 5pax RI Bros Degustation Dinner @ 8picure on 17Jul2020







had another sumptuous 5pax dinner @ 8picure with RI bros on 17.7.2020 ![]()
today is also tiang chye’s birthday, a very dear friend who lives in our hearts…
i really like chef Gabriel’s food, so during the circuit breaker i ordered takeout 3 times from him and this the 4th time wife and i came with family or our own group of friends to support chef Gabriel as dining out is permitted in phase one after CB.
and also learned several dishes from him – alio olio, cauliflower puree, and lobster squidink pasta to name a few which i recreated pretty well…
but nothing like a joyous evening enjoying chef Gabriel dishes with family and close friends…
spicy tuna on prawn crackers is a delightful start, a too big serving of complimentary amuse bouche. haha!
chef Gabriel did a platter this time, a new variation – spanish duroc roast pork, galician octopus & foie gras terrine..
roast pork was crackling and very tender and flavourful, galician octopus always great, and foie gras terrine was smooth and tasty..
i always enjoyed the chilli crab crab cake which is like 95% crab meat..super tasty and real spicy…i am also going to try to make this one.
lobster squid pasta is my favourite dish. the lobster was very sweet and done perfectly, and the pasta was simply best!
then we had A5 ohmi wagyu. Jo had it well done and it was still very good for a great marbled japanese wagyu. CH had the cod which is always nice.
my friends all had the tiramisu, which is for me the best tiramisu i had.
& this time chef Gabriel let me try his new black sesame sponge cake..very beautiful cake and his dessert all good..i still prefer the tiramisu…
we all had a wonderful evening with good friends.
