Tuna Sashimi Topped with Tropical Corn Salsa on a Taro Chip

Sorry for the poor picture quality. I miss my camera...waiting for it to get fix...so of course I'm stuck with my phone camera.

Anyways...This here was really fun to do. I love tropical flavors. So to make this nice salsa was great and go so well with fish...cook or raw!

Mix up your fave fleshy tropical fruits, this one had kiwi and mango, add some spices and pepper and grill corn ;) I even put a lil touch of passion fruit puree.

Say goodbye to plastics bags....

I needed a bag unique of it's own, something I could take to work, to go grocery shopping with etc. Plus it's cute, durable and environment friendly...yeah!!!! GoRedChef Designs.

Raw Beef & Sweet Beet Tartare On Paprika Puff Pastry


Hey I'm still exploring my boundries on what can go with what. And this came out kinda good..actually the taste was really good. The raw cubed beef and yellow and red cubed beets tasted so well together mixed in a ginger and garlic aioli that had jalepenos. The all around taste was very sweet (from the beets), robust (from the beef and aioli) and the puff pastry gave it a nice savory finish. Always make sure you season the puff pastry it self... great trick to finish off smooth.
Of course i'm still learing... we never stop... my chef told me the beet was a little undercooked...it had a little crisp to it. I recommend always to check every item before you mix. :) There is always something new to learn and perfect!

Beautiful View After The Rain


You can see this lovely rainbow right outside of "The Room" at the Conrad Hotel. My camera doesn't do it justice, but it was so gorgeous. ;)

Strawberry Delight

I loved doing this. It was simple dish...and clean. You can do it yourself as well. Buy some semi-dark chocolate. Melt it down. Dip your cold strawberries in and lay on a non stick surface and place in the cooler to harden.

Take some Italian bread sticks and dip in the same chocolate, lay on the non stick surface and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

I used some raspberry puree sauce and chocolate sauce to decorate the plate, with a couple of raspberries, cookie crumbs and lovely chocolate truffles.
