Waqu - Happy B'day J & E

Mum and Dad took us all out to Waqu to celebrate J & E's bday!
Its a seasonal menu... and since its sept... spring was the go

Still loving the wide angle!


1st course
japanese salt ‘n’ pepper squid and chicken, dashi mayonnaise
+
tiger prawn escabeche on miso paint with crusted rosemary

I was expecting it to be like S&P squid..but it was different..
not crunchy, but softer.. + a heavy pepper taste rather than salt..
7/10

2nd Course
spring vegetable soup

hmmm this was actually kinda average...
didnt really get wow factor from this... 3/10

3rd course
three kinds of sashimi w/ umami soy sauce
ocean trout, tuna and flat head

My fave was actually the flat head!
never had it before! yum!
7.5/10

4th Course was the choice
This was the ONSEN TAMAGO + FOIE GRAS PARFAIT

Apparently it was pretty good.. i didnt try it
but they left some plastic packaging around the foie gras :S

This was the duck... i didnt have this either


my choice was the SCALLOP & CRAB MOUSSE!

was very interesting... the red was the beetroot "soup"
it also came with some "cookie" as pictured next to the scallop
6/10

5th course
SHOGA KUROBUTA PORK LOIN + RIB.. this is what e had


and everyone else went for the....
WAGYU BEEF!!!! med rare!



look at the marble!

it wasnt the BEST ive ever eaten.. but it was still up there..
i feel bad for eating just some of the fat haha...
still good! 7.5/10

6th course desert!
strawberry mousse, macaroon, pink pepper puree, strawberry jelly, cheese ice cream

Not having the biggest sweet tooth, im not the hugest fan of deserts.. but i do enjoy them
This actually was the highlight of the meal!!!
the mousse was sooo soft.. nom nom! + the pink pepper puree... wow!
8/10

overall i think waqu under delivered.. slightly dropped their standard from previous..
but still was a great nite.. and as always the company completed the meal!

happy bday once again E & J!!!

PS... avg photos.. lighting was shocking ... iso 3200 :S

Fathers Day Con't

So for fathers day dinner we ended up going to J & E's place...
Yummo ribs!!! as good as always guys :)



Polenta chips were a plenty!



Ribs & Chips (kinda) what a combo



And my contribution (no i didnt bake) thanks S for the recommendation!



Slightly a girly cake for fathers but the taste forgives :)

Happy Fathers Day!

Today its fathers day! So happy day to DAD!
woke up early to make a quick bacon and eggs on toast..
i think in his old age, hes wanting the healthier option... so i poached instead of fried

Boom!

Hmmm could have done the poaching slightly longer... but still did the trick :)

superseded

Canon have launched their new 60D. I just found out tonight...

I was waiting for it to come.. and now it has, im out of date already :( haha..

Looking through the specs it looks like a good camera with Full HD as well!!!

Not really sure if im a fan of the "swivel" screen... kinda makes it look cheap?
