Zurich

I was in Zurich, Baur au Lac for 1week promotion for Nobu. It was a very successful event with lot of great feedback. On the last days, I was browsing through the old town of Zurich and found my favourite Hungary food, Langos!! So exciting!

St Moritz

Not sure what to complain if you have this view from your window everyday. Arrived in St Moritz now for more than 2weeks. Forgotten how cold it is over here. It is -23c at the moment and the lake is freezing up. If the next few weeks, the lake will turning to the polo and white turf ground.

Mongolian Steam Boat

Just came back from China Punyu. Enjoying a nice Mongolian piping hot steamboat with lamb, beef etc. We also taste a special milk wine.

sunset

I really love the time of sunset. It is also so beautiful and everyday you get a different scene.

Unusual supermarket items

Frog as a delicacy is not unusual in Singapore. However, I was amazed when I went to a local supermarket and found live frogs available. New trend of having live seafoods like crabs, prawns and fishes are now commonly found in supermarket but having frogs is still a bit wierd for me.

Cactus for food!

Cactus is a plant that grown all around Mykonos island. A lot of the local chefs use it as a ingredient for their sauces or salad. It is quite a interest texture and can be quite delicious.

Sunset of Mykonos

Another amazing sunset scene!

Sunset of Mykonos

Different scene every evening... How can you be tired of such beautiful sunset view everyday!!

Amazing experience!!

Seared Scallop with Cataus Salsa. Salsa is with tomato, white oinon and jalapeno dressing. One of the dish created in Mykonos.

Cocktail in Singapore

Went with couples of friends to Klee, a cocktail bar in Portdowns Road, Singapore. Nice setting with long bar counter. There is no menu, the barman will ask you what you like and he will create something on the spot.

Oyster

Yesterday I went to a Japanese restaurant Aoki in Singapore. We had the Chef's choice Omakase menu. The chef served extra large with Oyster. Very deilicious. Also white fish with slice summer truffle with chopped kombu, ikura with marinated in Yuzu juice, Uni with Ika. After a great meal, we went to F1 qualifying round. It was such a great experience to see it live.

Tempura

Tempura is a very common Japanese dish around the world. In Tokyo, sesame oil is usually use to deep fried the food instead of cottonseed oil. Seafood or variety of vegetables are dip into a icy cold batter before frying in oil. Served with grated diakon and warm soy sauce dip.

Toro

Don't be fooled by the picture. This is not Wagyu beef. It is another Japanese delicacy. Toro is the belly of blue fin tuna fish. It is sold as expensive as Wagyu beef and usually eaten raw in sashimi or sushi.

Kobe Beef

Kobe beef are eaten many ways in Japan. Sashimi style, lightly grilled on the outside over open fire is my favourite. The fat will melt and crave smokey flavour to the meat. YUMMY!!! I recommend not to eat it more than medium rare in cooking.

Kobe Beef from Japan

Will you pay so much for a slice of beef? Kobe beef is a premium meat sold in Japan. The Japanese cattle is well known for its luxury treatment. It is feed with beer, sake, given massage and listen to music to relax their muscle. What a life!

Grilled Bamboo Shoots

Takenoko, shoots of bamboo. They are harvest around March to May, during Spring time in Japan. It is a sping delicacy in Japan, all restaurants served them in many ways. I was in Japan last April 08, got to taste it in many dishes. OSHI!

Mykonos

Such a beautiful island! I think everyone should visit once if you have the chance!! Don't forget to visit Matsuhisa Mykonos!

Smiling Egg

While I was traveling in Barcelona Spain this spring, visited the fresh market. The egg stall had this smiling egg price tag was really cute.

Ham from Spain

Back to Athens and now in mykonos after a good 5weeks vacation. Really missing the Jambon from Spain. Season in Mykonos starting in a few weeks.... looking forward to some Japanese food in Matsuhisa Mykonos.
