Where do you buy your chicken?

We get our fresh daily supply of chicken from Ideal Marketing. They have been supplying for our kitchen for almost three years now. One reason we stick with Ideal is for it's prepared fresh clean chicken. They removed about 90% excess fats and unwanted skin. Our butcher would be spared extra time.
We use approximately 300 fresh chickens a day. Clean washed and proper pakaging. The problem comes if they have shortage of supplies. That would mean we have to buy the chicken by ourselves from the supermarket.

For lunch I made Penne tuna cabonara. I was showing my brigade how classic cabonara is made. We don't use bacon, I could have substitute it with salted beef but i used tuna instead.

also, Lasagne with ragu. As reluctant I was to use Buffalo meat, I just have to continue using it due to the high price of a cattle, the REAL BEEF! (Sapi) Buffaloes lack in flavour. Since the "Halaqah" invasion of bringing indian buffalo to Brunei, Now you can see most food industry using buffalo as it is so cheap. It is really indeed a sustainable cheap cuts available. The effect on economy as some would know that some well known abbatoir shops have to closed down some of thier branches.
A wise restaurant chef who put steak or mignon or rib eye or tenderloin on thier menu should highlight what kind of Meat they are using. If it's BUFFALO, PLEASE state on the menu page [BUFFALO MEAT!] Merci...
