Delayed post

Hey guys, been so tired lately and been very lazy to post anything. But I’m gonna do a proper one now. For those of you who have been coming to this blog, thanks a lot. I will continue to post as regularly as possible.

The Top Table Experience

Moving from a non-service kitchen to a fully funtional/service kitchen wasn’t easy. The movement and procedures that I had to learn was enlightening to say the least. Chef Lua was always naggy but had good intentions. “New Order, Pick-up, All-Day” are term used in Top Table. 

Being Sous Chef isn’t easy; controlling of order chits and most operations of the kitchen.

Anyway, moving on the the food that we actually dished out to paying customers.

Here are some sampler’s portion of some of the main course. And I have to say, each main course, has a slight variation of taste profile. So if you have time, please come on down to Top Table@Temasek Poly =)

Moving on, yesterday the friends came over for dinner and I did the cooking. Overall, I wasn’t too pleased with my cooking because of the lack of taste, and thanks guys, for being kind with words.

Above is Mixed Salad with Avocadoes with Orange slices and Orange Vinaigrette.

Main course for last night was Peach Glazed Roasted Pork Loin marinated with thyme and garlic, Breaded Risotto Balls with Gruyere Stuffing and Macedoine of Vegetables with Bazil. The Pork turned out to be tougher than I thought. Very Disappointing.
