Strawberries and cream Originally uploaded by mirvettium Second shoot was supposed to be a chocolate mousse concoction layered over filo pastry and cream. Due to some technical difficulties involving the filo pastry losing its shape, the understudy ended up taking centre stage. Pictured here is the strawberry and cream alternative. It made me realise how… Continue reading Strawberries and cream

Petal1.jpg Originally uploaded by mirvettium I’m so woefully behind touching my photos that I have a line of lynch mob waiting their turn. A long weekend started by listening to the Hottest 100 seems like a good start to tackle some of them, so expect more posts for the rest of the weekend at least!… Continue reading Home made studio
RossoPomodoro
Jun07PR005.jpg Originally uploaded by mirvettium Two weeks ago, I met up with some friends and randomly chose Balmain as the meeting point. “I feel like Italian” one said. “Just google whatever” the other one said.

Holiday Breakfast Diary – Penang
Coffee Tiam Originally uploaded by mirvettium.

The ingredients were accesible and the instructruction looked simple enough, but there is a… Continue reading Penang Pork Belly
Quay Restaurant
Quay Restaurant Originally uploaded by mirvettium. Probably one of the worst thing about working on the job is being told a million times how fantastic the single dish that I missed out on was. Work had our big corporate lunch last Thursday to wine and dine clients. Last year it was Aria and this year… Continue reading Quay Restaurant
Sambal – Seafood laksa
Sambal – Seafood laksa Originally uploaded by mirvettium. Reading yc’s review of Sambal was enough to make me salivate, so when Father’s Day arrived it seemed like the perfect excuse to try it out. One thing I didn’t count on was that Sambal’s lunch menu was on the sparse side. You can order their entree,… Continue reading Sambal – Seafood laksa
