He obtained this awesome recipe from his ever reliable source, a certain Si Fu who hates to be mentioned here. Apparently I do have a huge followers here, bcoz of his fans base. -_-"
Anyway JS did a test run Biryani 2 weeks ago prior to this actual dinner for the guinea pigs gang. JS no longer calls them cute fluffy guinea pigs....they are now officially known as Piranhas with sharp jagged teeth >.< *ouch*
beautiful and prized Saffron procured from our previous trip to Spain
I used them like tic tacs in watever I want to the horror of JS
JS: "Do u have any idea how much that cost???? u just need a few sprigs...not a spoonful!!!!!"
errrr oh ya kah???? sowwyy~~~~~
Semi-aged Basmati rice
he said it has to be AGED!!!! and this was only SEMI....not perfect enuff.
Do u have any idea how it is to live with a perfectionist who also happens to be an engineer with precision??? Thank goodness he doesn't have OCD.......but I have and I damn can blarddy nag 9 streets long. Now we totally understand why no family members wanna stay/be with both of us. It's a disastrous combo.
Homemade bread/roti
I didn't know JS can make these...from scratch.....it was his first attempt
JS: "Can I borrow some of your flour?"
Monkey: "tssskkkk wat are u making? becareful!!! and don't dip ur hands into the jar, pls use a proper scoop."

JS: "bread...for tonite."
BREAD???? O.O as in B.R.E.A.D.

since it's a Biryani dinner, everyone was supposed to turn up in Indian theme.....but epic fail. Moral of the story is....Guinea Pigs/Piranhas don't follow instructions.

"Oh don't cry baby, I am sure my friends will love your Biryani"
JS -_-".......then T_T
Birthday Boy looking youthful and effortlessly glorious....we need to dig.......his secrets....wat is his fountain of youth?!?!?!!?!
There wasn't much at the florist that morning....only gerberas and some miserable orchids and unopened lilies. So this was wat we got that evening....so sad...
my job was pretty simple that evening.....prepare some tomatoes salsa
anyway the star was Biryani so I didn't want to outshine Mr. JS
kekekekekekeke....
anyway no matter how hard I tried, I'll never be able to....
it looked so sloppy but I can concur that it was the best Lamb Biryani in Malaysia. Sorry lar I don't think u can outperform Hyderabad Biryani......hehehehehe.
the lamb melted in the mouth, with really good texture. Such intensity of spices....the basmati rice was just cooked to the right texture....silence ensued the dining hall...u know it's AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.
I wanted to give Chef a standing ovation bcoz this was only his 2nd attempt but he opened his mouth to say, it can be better!!!!
O.O wat?????? wat else do u wanna improve on? Maybe the presentation la....kakakakaka
Dr. Epicurean who came early and Monkey were holding their respective champagne glasses watching Chef JS painstakingly prepared this dish...layers after layers of rice, lamb curry, saffron milk were being assembled....before the baking process. Yea so much of work and yet both of us stood there enjoying our bubblies and commenting on the difficulty level in getting the right texture, temperature and cooking duration. Macam lah food experts...prollie Dr. Epicurean is but not Monkey.
the royal doulton baking tray was soon emptied. So yummy :)))))))))) and everyone soon sanked back to their comfy chairs after the feeding frenzy. Inclusive of those who doesn't consume carbs....
chomp chomp chomp nom nom nom
Most of the guests enquired for the recipe bcoz it's so simple and so yummy :))))
very untidy "plating" coz we were rushing....esp working with "ice"
Monkey scooped, JS grated lime zest over
from the freezer straight to the tummy....hahahahahaha
Shy Chatwin and Sexay Back Maggie....congratulations on ur big tummy...
nope she's NOT pregnant....or maybe she is...with FOOD of coz!!!!
hahahahahaha
beef for those Carnivores
Basically there's only 2 carnivores on the table
they were just passing the beef to each other all the time....
one for you, one for me, one for you one for me
still passing beef around among the 2 carnivores:P hahahahahaha
Sally Betty said she will give face and took a piece :P
I guess his fountain of youth is to stay happy alwiz no matter wat. For someone a decade older than me and to look this GOOD....is seriously RARE. All of us must learn something from Brian :)

Then the gentlemen wanted a group pic too....or more like we forced them to!!!
They were singing Tong Hua by Michael Wong. I don't know any chinese but it's really a beautiful song.
7 bottles for 9 adults....plus 2 tiny bottles of beer.
Thank you for the wines JS and Dr. Epicurean.
