How far ?

2010-10-30T13:02:00.009+11:00

Where do you see yourself in 3 years ?
Hopefully publishing my first book ?
Become a certified chef ?
Living in England ?

Just one of the many things, Im working at.
Bottom line, I just want to be successful.
I ask myself, how much do I have to achieve in order to call oneself 'successful' ?
People in general get the sense that being successful is to have the money, car, girl/guy and the clothes.
I actually find that quiet funny, I have/had those things, just more or less, and still It doesn't seem like an achievement, so why are people always praising and bragging about it ?
I feel like I had succeeded when;
I had served out a dish in which to be returned with a smile and a compliment,
Achieve the goals I had set out for myself,
To be remembered, leave an impression as proof that I had actually lived.
So chyeahh that's that.

Made In Italy

2010-10-25T18:01:00.010+11:00

Made in Italy.
Finally got the specs I wanted, how I waited patiently for you to arrive.
My first impression of it when seeing it in person was 'Oh wow it reminds me of a grand piano.'
This is probably because it looks like the piano keys.
As happy as I am, im more excited on which pair im going to get next, this comsumerism thing is really getting to me hahas. Well that's about it so chyeah.

Enough about the trivial shit, back to food..

This next dish I came up with was Japanese inspired.
Contains Soba noodle, pickled ginger, seaweed, shitake mushroom, and jelly fish that had been soaked in my green tea dressing. Im Out~

Lamb Ragu Tagliatelle.

2010-03-23T23:56:00.004+11:00

A very time consuming dish, Lamb Ragu Tagliatelle.
Although not very hard to prepare, it takes 5hrs for it to be tender and cooked right.
I made sure the Tagliatelle was Al Dente (firm but not hard) then topped it off with my Lamb Ragu.
The dish itself doesn't look so appealing but the taste begs to differ, it's been soaking up all the ingredients red wine and stocks that i had put in.
I didn't follow any traditional Ragu recipe i made mine up as i went along but i manage to forget to get the Parsley to top it off.
Well that's it for now.

How long as it been.

2010-03-18T21:56:00.001+11:00

It's been a very long time since i had blog.
Reason ? Nada.
Lately i've been cooking southern style food.
For those who don't know what southern style is basically fried chicken bbq ribs etc but today i there wasnt really anything to make at home so i got out what ever i had in the fridge, and thank god i had a new york strip at home.
So end of the day i made Steak with a Spicy Pecorino and Carrot Coulis.
Well that's it for today.
I'm out~

What to do ?

2009-12-30T04:05:00.007+11:00

Christmas was a bland, it went by like any other day, it's probably because I'm Asian and I live in Australia, no White Christmas no Christmas at all, i cannot recall the last time i actually had a Christmas tree up with present stashed under it. It's not like i miss it or anything but chyeah... As for New Years Eve, i'm not sure of what to do, not even sure if i want to do anything.. Well my mind might change later after this post. Hmm.. My room, it's revolting, I keep telling myself that im going to clean it today, then I say to myself I'll clean it later, and then it ends up with me saying i'll clean it tomorrow and the process repeat, sighs why can't we have maids in Australia and have the Mexican come over ; ) I kid the kids, now that's just racist, speaking of which my parents are gone overseas and my mom made me take care of her Bonsai trees like seriously it's just a tree... this is why a Mexican comes in handy not hatin, just saying!

Critics.

2009-12-21T04:45:00.003+11:00

So im planning to have a christmas dinner with some friends over, nothing fancy just a entree, main, sides and dessert the normal thing you know.. Well anyways im thinking of my menu at the moment, and i have a problem. Lamb, although it's ever so tender and so easy to cook with, not many people enjoy having it due to the scent it has. So i have no idea what to do....
After watching Julie & Julia i was so inspired to do something similar, but then again i don't think i'd be able to. There is a book that i have been desiring to purchase, its a Food Critics on, Matt Preston, for those who don't know who he is, it's the fat dude with the scarf looking thing in masterchef.. Yes, i absolutely love the English accent. Well on other ends besides food, i find that every year christmas is the same, and it doesn't hold any significant value to me, well hopefully this year it'd be different. My mom told me to put up the christmas tree and decorate it etc.. well maybe if im not lazy that is ? hahas. Hmm.. well looks like this is enough for awhile ? im out~

Desires.

Oh, im just oh so curious about people that intrigue me.

Patisserie

2009-12-13T03:04:00.004+11:00

Sigh's so much things to learn in the culinary world.
Courses i want to do relating to FOOD
-Patisserie
-Coffee Barista
-Bar Tender
Ahhh.. the things i want to learn.
I'm very excited about what im going to do in 2010, I'm thinking of going to Ultimo College for their hospo courses.
First off i think i would do the Patisserie course and hopefully the chef is French because as we all know the French are the best Pastry Chef's.
Oh oh oh oh and if things do go well, i'll be looking forward to learning new things and if possible serve it up to family/friends etc.
Well that sums it up for now, should be writing my in my blog more often.
