Me and my bread

My relationship with food hasn't changed much. I can eat many delicacies, but bread is still the top of my favourite food list. Especially Peanut butter bread which still remains my favourite, and never fails to cheer me up everytime I eat it.

Today, I had a good tasting session at Gunther's with two journalists. I had the following dishes, all tasting portions of course:

1. Carppaccio of Langoustine with Caviar
2. Sea Bass with Pilaf Rice
3. Oyster (It was fresh, big and juicy, everything an oyster lover would have appreciated but it just made me want to puke. Thankfully it was at least warm, and I manfully swallowed it whole...gagg, but fighting hard to maintain a neutral face)
3. Wagyu Beef with egg confit and cep mushroom (my favourite as I love anything with egg and mushrooms)
4. Angel Hair Pasta with Lobster
5. Gunther's famous suckling pig ( yummilicious....hear the "kruk kruk" sound with every bite)
6. Orange Mille Feuille(The lightest puff pastry oozing with cream, and the tart orange saved it from being too rich. A most delicious way to end the meal and needless to say my favourite)


The lunch, as delicious and expensive as it was, however still could not take the top spot in my heart...

Peanut Butter Thick Toast



After a long and tiring day, I badly needed some comfort food. I didn't even mind eating it alone, slowly savouring the oozy peanut butter atop the bread that managed to be both soft and crispy all at once. The before and after look on my face was very noticeable. Or maybe it was because I was grumpy and hungry at 8pm


A close second would be this....


Scrambled egg with toast

And just to be irrelevant, a Brownie a la mode from Coffee Club. I love the Chocolate Swirls. Someone must have taken great pains to decorate it :)

Risotto

For the first time in my life, I made risotto, and MB was my able helper, and together , we cooked an awesome dinner..seriously. I didn't follow any particular recipe and just went with the flow. For those who doesn't know what risotto is, it's a traditional italian dish made with arborio rice(or a variety of other rice) and then hot broth is slowly added to it until it is done, after which you can add whatever stuff you want.

We made a salmon and mushroom risotto which I absoutely loved, but it was a tad salty. We also added corns and peas to up the health factor, plus grated parmesan cheese to make it more creamy...yummm
I have also posted up pictures of my latest baking creations to tandalize you readers...heh..enjoy.
