6th of July. Gum's Birthday.
Today I prepare something special for her thou doesn't look too nice but the taste is not dissapointing..still edible..
The first dish. Brocolli, mushroom and abalone. This is a simple dish to cook but the taste won't be like the restaurant because I don't have dried scallop for the gravy.
I simply use the water in the abalone bottle to cook. Which i reckon is ok standard.
Second dish. Salmon with unagie sauce and and fried onion. As know salmon is very oily fish. Lots of fats. Onion is good to fight oily stuff. So place some onion on the dish will help reduce the feeling of oiliness.
The mistake i make is i forgot to dry the oil of the fried onion before plating the fish. So the dish still very oily and not until my satisfaction.
Fried scallop and deep fried scallop. One thing about deep fried thingy. It is very hard not to make it soggy after it cool down.
Fried scallop is easier thingy. Just to make the flavour inside. Well i use garlic which is my favourite type of "vege". Garlic has very strong flavour, so it's not hard to get the flavour into scallop.
Last but not least. Apple caramel with sesame seed. I learn this from master chef. The caramel is hard and the apple is soft with the batter cover the apple. So the sugar is sweet and the apple is sour so sweet and sour with the sesame seed. Taste quite good.
A celebration is not complete without champagne. And I got a very good champagne. KRUG is the finest champagne in this world and it is the leading champagne maker. Well the one is got is the lowest range since i cannot afford the better range.
Well, after dinner. We are too full to have anymore food. So the cake save till tomorrow.
