Kung Hom Pa

Tom Yum Gung
spicy tom yum soup filled with fresh prawns, squid and straw mushrooms. flavoured with lemongrass, kaffir lime and its leaves too.

Khao Niao Mamung
sticky pandan glutinuous rice w diced mango, honey avocado mousse and a drizzle of coconut milk.

This meal sure took me alot of efforts to achieve. It required much recipe-hunting plus research work on the ingredients stranger to me and where to purchase them. I tried to keep the flavours as authentic as possible while on the other hand, sieved in some fresh touches to the dishes.

Have to say my hardwork did pay off and all the dishes were successful in taste and presentation. yippeeees *big smile.

Western Frenzy
this weekend night meal for the family wasn't too much of the old-fashioned western. i attempted to mix in some of my personal ideas for a more comtemporary and less boring feel. hope they liked it.

Cream of Carrot Soup
sweet soothing orange soup served with a stick of crispy homemade garlic foccacia

Mushroom & Peppers Baked Macaroni
macaroni stir-fried in a creamy tomato paste before being baked under the mozzarella cheese layer

Oven-Roasted Bacon-wrapped Snapper
my inspiration for this dish comes from Jamie Oliver. the fish is kept toned-down in marination to allow the salty smoked bacon to come into play. along with sauteed asparagus, ovenroasted vine tomatoes and a white wine mushroom sauce.

Bread & Butter Pudding
served with stewed rose-scented strawberries, vanilla bean sauce & vanilla icecream

Creamy Seafood Tortilla Rolls
tiger prawns bathed in a seafood bisque, mozzarella cheese, wrapped in fresh tortilla then baked till a finishing crisp. inspired by Willin Low!! (:
