Dulce de leche experiment. Bathing cans of condensed milk for 10 hours at 85°C in my @anovaculinary #sousvide machine, and this South American delight emerges. I've worked with #DulceDeLeche at two restaurants already. What can I do to make this part of my #ModernCantonese repertoire? Hmmm... #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #testing #sweets #dairy #yycfood #yyc #yycliving
Craving something fried at 11:30pm so broke out my trusty mandoline. Now I'm watching the @colbertlateshow on PVR with fresh made potato chips, seasoned with flounder powder (大地魚粉) from Hong Kong, and a whole whack of other spices and seasonings. It's not bad. Not bad for a #ModernCantonese take on the classic chip. #ChefApprenticeLife #ModernCantonese
#Latergram: Amped up packaged noodles. Green curry soup, fish cake, tiger prawn, sprouts, soft egg yolk, sambal. It isn't the prettiest dish but when it's 2AM and it's been a long week...IT WORKS. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #LateNightEats #ModernCantonese #yycfood #yyceats #yycliving #yyc
Spaghettini alla cacio e pepe; a Roman classic made by a #ModernCantonese cook. I recently had it when eating dinner with @unusualzen at @Tenfoothenry a few weeks back, and fell in love. I didn't have pecorino on hand, but had a hard cheese on hand. Let's just say the Sichuan peppercorns helped, the cheese...yeah, not so much. It's not @KenjiLopezAlt-level perfection, but at 2:15am #LateNightEats it wasn't bad. (P.S. The garlic toast is optional.) . #ChefApprenticeLife #CucinaRomana #pasta #CucinaItaliana #yycfood #yyc #yyceats #yycliving #cacioepepe #ChefApprenticeAtHome #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #theartofplating #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #staffcanteen
It's 12:42am, and I just finished making this pot of risotto infused with flavours of Japan & Hong Kong. What could it be for? Here's a hint: it's for @yycpizzaweek. More to come when it's all done! #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #homecooking #yyc #yycfood #yycpizzaweek #Italian #rice #arborio #risotto #Japanese #和風 #ModernCantonese #新派粵菜
After a night of work, it's done! It's a pizza like no other, with #Italian, #Japanese and #ModernCantonese influences coming together. I call this the Spicy Pork Neck Stirfry Risotto Pizza. Inspired by humble #cantonese home cooking, combined with all I've learned in my #ChefApprenticeLife so far. Stay tuned on how you can help me win @yycpizzaweek's Blogger Challenge! #yycfood #yyc #yyceats #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting
"In a world of round holes, be a square peg." Sydney Smith came up with that phrase in a lecture in 1804. How true it still rings over two centuries later. It's the little things that set us apart, from those who dream and those who want to leave a mark. I am one who wants to leave a mark with my #ModernCantonese styles. Me signing my name in both English and Traditional Chinese is one of those. #ChefApprenticeLife #yyc #yycfood #yyc #myphilosophy #philosophy #箴言 #captureyyc
