Prince C custom-made a very nice granite stone for us
not to throw at ppl
*it's so heavy that I can't carry it*
but to make superb thin crust crunchy can die pizza.
JS: "I want a stone oven at our new place. Let's build one."
Me: " O_o stone oven??? STONE OVEEEENNN????? >_<" Since kitchen is HIS territory and HE is designing it,
do wat u want.
I shall not interfere.
later world war 3 or 4 or 5.
*In that case, can I have a rabbit???? wink wink? puuuhhhleeeaasseeeee?????* *puuuhhhhhleeeaassseeeeeeeee, u can have 5 stone ovens at home.* Pizzas are fr Italy, so use Italian ingredients like fresh herbs, sun ripen tomatoes, etc etc.
Here we used chillies *we lurve em*
japanese tomatoes coz it's the best
fresh basils
fresh baby spinach
japanese onions *available at Isetan*
Italian flat leaf parsley
homemade tomato sauce *made fr momotaro tomatoes*
and most of all my favourite streaky bacons, heheheheheh nyek nyek nyek.
basically it's very simple
and errrm I dunno how and forgot how.
bluek.
then shape it to watever shape u like.
Pizzas dun have to be round ok!!!!!
okie lar, we have to admit,
we are not very good with shaping stuffs *like bread*
so I guess rectangle is the easiest.
heat the oven with the granite stone in it!!
and then bake the crust first!!!
and while baking, let's dig something to drink~~~~~
erm......................
just the 2 of us how to finish a bottle of bordeaux?
if it's a burg......hehehehehee, different story.
aaaa, see the magnum bottle over there???
resting well,
it's drinkable already but I am not ready to open it coz only ONE bottle at home!!!
it's not a very good vintage but STILL!!! it's MY YEAR!!!!
those born in 1970, 1978, 1982 and bla bla bla *quite a number of good year*
bless u,
either u have to spend a bomb on your year
or
every birthday, u get to enjoy great wines.
next fridge!!!
oooo all the yummies.......La Tour, Chambertine, Mouton...ooooo and Salon!!
the bottom tier = all the grange and pensfold
*eh I dun like them anymore*
and so we have this, half bottle = 375ml
Cos d'estournel fr st estephe.
I didn't see which bottle he opened,
he tricked me and served with a burgundy glass.
after the 1st peppery whiff,
"wait a while more, so tannic."
After like waiting till I cannot wait...
"wat is this?"
JS: "He he he it's d'estournel."
OMG!!! how come so aweful????
Nose: peppery, celery
Palate: cedar??? acid????
Conclusion = I don't like Bordeaux anymore.
-_- bad
ok ok maybe good bordeaux.
garlic + olive oil base
the rest put whatever u like....
this one with the homemade tomato based sauce,
baby spinach, bacons, onions, chilies and fresh mozzarella
Never ever compromise with processed cheese for pizza,
made the pizza stinks like mad!!!
*u know those shredded loose yellowish parmesan???*
see the bacon there!!
"Put more. Sumore...More..."
JS: "-_- enuff already."
Next time we wanna try suckling pig pizza with aragula
we had it at La Strada, Singapore.
Yummo!!
Yes I can eat the whole pizza!!!
What to do with the leftover toppings???
leftover basil + tomatoes
toss with olive oil, pepper and salt....
the leftover baby spinach + bacon *which should have NO leftover*
sautee them with garlic.
hmmm, I noticed that I lurve charred food nowadays...
suckling pig pizza ANYBODY????
have to ask Chef JS whether he wants to make or not.
sure a lot of work...:P
thank u first ya!
PS: YES. JS finished the whole bottle of d'estournel himself.

Important advise: Never ever park your car right in front of those "turbines" or u will go home with a windscreen of pork lard. (souvenirs)
seatings are limited,
so pls come early esp during weekends.
the partition between the kitchen and the dining area
so dun mandi before u come....
u mandi after u are done stuffing urself with their yummy food.
dun play-play,
they have an executive chef *the thin woman dressed in lime green*
she will present the food with her "gold" chopstick
finishes with toppings and splashed some "secret sauce" over the dishes.
shout on orders to her sweaty chefs,
and screamed at her waitress,
"why they cancel order?"
"why they order this and this together??? Don't go well. Tell them."
"where is the noodle for table 16????"
she's fierce!!!!
tam chiak like me will take all 3 chilies
pickled chilies to go with meat - cut through the fattiness in my mouth
sambal chilies - a must for hokkien mee
chili padies - for everything else
ooOOOooooo
just the way I like it....
JS pushed all the heart choking, artery clogging and hi cholesterol pork lards to me.
"oooooooo tq tq tq tq tq ....more more more sumore."
JS: "-_-"
claypot fish head curry,
I lurve it coz they load it with lotsa brinjals + cabbage + okras
and they used red snapper :)))))))))))
braised pork ribs in special sauce.
it was so so so tender and juicy~~~~~~
Waitress: "one hokkien mee, one fish head curry, one porkie. WAH both of u can finish or not? don't order so much. Enough already."
both Monkey + JS: "-_- YESssssss and we want vege also."
romaine lettuce + garlic
I like the slightly charred garlic,
such distinctive flava...
their stove is seriously = bon fire!!!!!
after clearing all the plates and rubbing our cute tummies~~~
Waitress: "Wah both of u can reaaaaallly eat wor. Good good. This is called 'fook'. "

Morels have this honey comb liked surface and it's mildly toxic,
hence must be cooked thoroughly before consuming.

Main was beef with foie gras and zuchinni cake cum fritters at the bottom.
everyone was commenting how wonderful it was,
It was not too bad.
I couldn't finish any of the course cept the starter.
Sweet-But-Notorious Rachel hates the foie gras in Cilantro!!!
How could u!!!
that's Chef Takashi's signature dish - Foie gras with unagi.
well if that's the one u tried.
go so well with Inniskillin Ice Wines.
