Behemoth Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Crowd pleaser -- bratkartoffeln, chicken schnitzel (fried in half oil half clarified butter) and a salad made with rosa del Veneto radicchio, walnuts and gorgonzola dolce. Dressed with white balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I spent years not knowing what to do with the white stuff but for chicories it's great. Highlight? The salad was such a pretty color the miniB's actually ate it (plain). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I have a lot of recipes lounging around on my laptop, some of which I make on the regular, and others that I can’t quite remember why I saved in the first place. Sometimes I dig one of those out and decide to give it a go. This is steamed fish in egg sauce, which is just what it sounds like. Cod, hard boiled egg, butter, sour cream. It is a weird-ass recipe and I wouldn’t call it good, exactly. But I’m glad I made it, just to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I'll take a plate of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 It has seder vibes, because of the chopped egg. Go ahead, try it. It's not like it's hard to make. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 It also has British boarding school vibes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

small h Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I did a trek through Chinatown to buy fancy cookies from Kuih Cafe for Lunar New Year ($26/six, 40:00 on line, still kind of worth it). And fish balls and such for a big bowl of soup. Plus fresh tofu from Fong On. Here are the fancy cookies. You can tell they're fancy because they come in a little jar with a sticker on top.

small h Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 They're also really good. Very flaky, with a pineapple filling, which - if the sign in the bakery is to be believed - is lucky to eat on New Year's, 'cause pineapples symbolize prosperity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Friends who have traveled fairly extensively in SE Asia say some of their stuff is as good as they recently had in Penang. The owners have actually asked him if he could grow pandan for them, as they want stuff that is super fresh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Pizza night last night. First ones in a year or so, needs a little work on the crust. This is Lahey's no-knead pizza dough, but I probably let it bulk ferment a little too long, and then it spent a day or two in the fridge, which sours it up a little more than I like. Made 3 though, and we ate them all. With the simple salad I'm currently obsessed with... (That's a shot from a restaurant we had lunch at in Florence; last night mine looked exactly the same).

At a group brunch at Urban Hawker a few months ago, some of us bought a few cakes from Lady Wong, but I was too not hungry by that time to try them. I'm not usually interested in sweets at all, but I do fall victim to hype, which is what happened yesterday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
