Lufbru anual Dinner

I had to be a little bit creative that night. I didnt make enough brownie mixed, and I couldn't get any smaller tray so i had to make do whats available. I used carrots as a barrier so that my brownie gets even when baked.Brownie Mixed.
Again we served Stuffed chicken Caponata
I deviened this lovely tiger prawns for my Avocado rolls
1 minute on each side, start turing them from the 1st prawn one by one until you get to the last ones. Thats how you cooked it to perfection. Just like scallops. Scallops take a little bit longer. It's the technique.

Custard for my ice cream base.

Vegetarian anyone??

Yesterday was quite tough for me. One of our Commis chef felt sick. To make things more wonderful, Chef Zaed had a very bad headache and can't continue work just after lunch service. Thank god (Alhamdulilah), the rest of us managed just fine. A very busy day ahead with convocation funfair till saturday. Last night I was preparing dinner for special guests for 20 covers. They had requested for some vegetarian dishes. Im sorry, but i think vegetarian has a very bad palate, I wonder if their breath are any sweeter? hehe

Green Salad and trio peppers with mustard garlic dressing.

Pilau Rice and vegetable pasta

Root vegetables medley of Yam, Sweet potato, japanese purple potato and potato 'potato'. Simple Roasted with Rosemary.
ahh... this is such a beaty. I definitely going to serve this tomorrow Lunch time. Roasted Pumpkin with Brocolli.

For non-vegetarian, I prepared malay chicken Percik and B.B.Q Beef Stew.

Onions

Grilled Onions
Loot at that...
Look at the inner beauty... Soft, juicy, tender, full of flavour. Keep the skin on and you wont lose it's flavour.
Pandan Chicken featured on our menu last week.

I woke up at 5am last night just to do this Medeline for some V.I.P guests. Never again.

International lunch menu on Wednesday

We made b.b.Q Beef Stewed with Grape juice. (We don't use wine in Brunei). I was not happy with the quality of this sparkling grape juice. I had to add extra pure Grape juice and had it reduced. The Beef cubes was then marinade for one day.

No, It's NOT Red Wine. Bought it at Hua Ho. :)

Guess what, We didn't have a name for this dish. In the end, we just called it UBD Beef Stew with Asparagus Specials. hahaha
Morrocan Chicken Tagine. This dish is just great. I envy how the morrocan like to add fruits to thier dish. This dish has it's fruity flavour extract from an apricot. I also could add prunes or dates. This dish wouldn't be the winning dish if i had chicken korma next to it. It just has less fats as it's seared then stewed on a very low heat with no creams or any fattening agent to it. I used chicken fats of it's own.

Yesterday was so hot. There came the devil in me. Chef Mujib made some yoghurt the day before. I coudn't resist it that i had one of the waiter to get me come cup and filled it with ice. I had 3 tables spoon of sugar syrup, fresh yoghurt, sqeezed lemon. What do you think I had?

FRESH HOME MADE LASSI! Love it..

We went Italian last Tuesday...

It was my 1st pasta in Brunei. I haven't done it in a while. It was so exciting, dusting, kneading and rolling. I just like watching the pasta sheets as it comes out of the pasta machine.
We had Ravioli of minced chicken, spinach and basil. As much as I love to put Ricotta or any kind of cheese, I also got to considered my fellow Malay Asian Palate. That's why I decided to just use minced chicken straight forward.

Stuffed Ravioli. It's juat another way of saying Italian Dumpling or Pasta with fillings.

To finish the dish, I served simple arrabiatta sauce. Quite spicy tomatoey sauce.
Chicken Supreme pomodoro. Pomodoro means Tomato. That's it and nothing fancy.

I hope they enjoyed it.
