2012 Countdown at Skitchen Steak House

Unique wine bottle arrangement captures real essence of down to detail planning. Unique and absolutely a breathtaking view.

My Glutton Way to End 2012!!!

 Marinated Tasmanian Salmon with Beetroot served with Shaved Green Asparagus and Crispy Garden Vegetables with a Dilled Honey Mustard sauce





 An eloquently plated salad. The star of the dish will be the slivers of fresh salmon marinated in beetroot juice and sea salt; an unique take where the usually mellow melting salmon is transformed into slivers of tuna-look alike tart savory goodness. Crisp garden leaves, shavings of green asparagus, green and yellow capsicum with the earthiness of shredded beetroot is being bonded by dill honey mustard sauce. Imagine a bite of most beautiful spring ever in your mouth when the sweetness of the honey and sharp freshness of the mustard with slightly lemony dill and the savory marinated salmon is contrasted by the pleasant crunch of bitter freshness. Only criticism with be a dash of lemon juice for a balance of tart, savory sweetness and acidity.

Skitchen Steak House very Own Baked Bread with Herbs



 Skitchen's baked bread with sun dried tomatoes. A good bread is always the based on its symphony of crust with an intricate balance of acidity and a dollop of parsley garlic butter. Makes a sumptuous meal on its own or to suck up on the following soul-warming goodness. Skitchen Steak House; my palate can be complicated but this bread is a winner anywhere with incorporation of some slices of black olives to add a little savory goodness to the heavenly bread.

Mushroom Soup with Crispy Puff and Chicken Dumpling



 The puff pastry over the soup is baked to a perfect golden brown. The pastry keeps the portobello boasted soup to intense heat. The soup is downright earthy and warming with perfect flow of thickness; hence creamy and dreamy perfection with dainty and lightly crafted chicken dumplings. the soup is brought together with a dustingof Skitchen Steak House's very own dried parsley for a light freshness. Look forward to the waft of heart warming aroma that tends to render any cold souls to a pool of melting goodness. Run out of puff pastry; fret not. Feel free to dunk the crisp bread to mop up the soup at your pleasure.

 Homemade Lemon Sorbet


A center piece of fresh citrus to awaken your taste palate for the best to come. Not too sweet despite the sourness on the heavier side; it is claimed to be not only me ; but numerous clients as the best palate cleanser ever. awakening can be rude but pleasant at the same time; making you beg for the next course to be served.


 Grilled Chill-aged Black Angus Ribeye with Celery Root, Blanched Broccoli and Carrots and Creamy Pink Peppercorn Sauce and a Sinful Knob of Garlic Parsley Butter





This piece of 220g Black Angus Ribeye have been chilled aged for a week to enhance the taste of the beef. It is not a a piece of massacred meat; do kindly take note; it's Chef Anand's masterful take on the steak. Perfect medium temperature and sear simply brings forth the perfect seasoning of bay leaf, garlic, salt, pepper and slight drizzle of balsamic vinegar. The balsamic vinegar being acidic seals the pores on the meat almost instantly; taking the moisture loss to a minimal. Celery root is a perfect substitute for the usual mashed potatoes. More flavorful and light ; I can have it any day over mashed potatoes. The creamy peppercorn sauce is a new innovative delight so do hold your black pepper shakers.The pink peppercorn sauce is paired well with reduction of beef stock and the its pungent sweet aroma takes the steak to my 'A' list steak anyday anywhere. The knob of butter is a sinful option.

 Oven Baked Cod Fish With Tiger prawn Mousse served with Sauteed Portobello and Shimeji Mushrooms over Blanched Broccoli and Mushroom Sauce


This stuffed hunk of a piece of Atlantic cod is seared on a cast iron pan until the skin reaches a perfect crispness before being finished off in the oven. The cod with a generous stuffing of freshly whipped tiger prawn mousse sits ever so grandly on a bed of sauteed portobello and shimeji mushrooms and fresh parsley and garlic and blanched broccoli . A sauce of portobello cream with a dash of fresh cream; elevates the mild yet pleasant earthiness to compliment the sweet opaque flesh of the cod and the shrimp mousse.Wins me over with the first knife in.

Surprise in Disguise with Honey Almond Brittle and Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream





 From afar, I thought its a dainty cake to be finished off with the homemade strawberry ice cream. As it approaches, the glistening exterior explains everything. What a delightful surprise as its a smooth homemade vanilla ice cream instead. The sweet crunchy brittle and rich fragrant ice cream is taken to another level of pleasure with the tart sweet sandwiched strawberry gelato sandwiched between the icy heaven. What an orgasm in my mouth.


 Opps, I did it Again

 
 It does not mean one is a glutton. The highest honor to the chef; a clean plate and no questions asked

 Bread and Butter Pudding with Apples and Homemade Mango Ice Cream


 This version of bread and butter pudding has melting chunks of apples and a hint of cinnamon in the mix; baked to perfection and as I took a whiff of aroma, i spontaneously dove in and the world is silent as i savored every last bit of the pudding that is covered by a lustrous silky cream. The bread itself is home baked and this dessert is accompanied with a home made mango ice cream. Both items are individually good but I may not agree on its cohesiveness. Great dessert.

 Vanilla Creme Brulee


 A classic creme brulee that is executed perfectly. Torched sugar has been transformed to a pleasant caramelized crunch that leads to a gooey goodness. Fruits' slight sugary acidity cuts through the hot to cold curdled richness of the vanilla creme brulee; making this a highly recommended dessert EVER.

 Traditional Tiramisu with a Twist




 This layered dessert, consisting of alternating layers of coffee-soaked lady's fingers and sweet mixture of cheese, eggs and sugar comes with a tongue twisting twist. The original vessel such as wine, glass or shot glasses have been playfully yet creatively substituted with a chocolate bowl. Every inch of this Beryl Milk chocolate. The lady fingers are soaked with imported Il Pavoni Italian Coffee.The velvety cram topping is dusted generously with cocoa powder to counteract the sweetness of the cream and slight acidity of the coffee. I embraced the fresh bitterness of the cocoa powder then coaxed by the sweet cream then another hit of coffee to finally breaking a piece of the chocolate mould for a sensational finish. Chef Nazir, my life this year has been much illustrated in this particular dessert. Bitterness and pain and more bitterness that follows is taken to a sweet undulating finish. A rush of emotion hits me and i did cry a tear for this.

 Space Invader



 An impromptu cocktail of s splash of Absolute vodka:Mango, sprite and grenadine syrup. One of the sexiest cocktails ever and my first ever pink cocktail. This cocktail does give a refreshing finish and ooohhh; if only there is a purple or pink orchid to garnish; boosting the girl-li-ness to an exquisite level.

A smile before hitting the guest and I with Yue Lain Dai biao Wo De Sing. Loved it!!! Kudos to the Grooves

Planning on an evening for a loner,

Instead I had ten courses altogether,

 Garnished with Smile & Laughter,

As the hour drew nearer,

I believe I did cry a tear,

A big drop of tear,

As I realized FAMILY&FRIENDS are Forever!!!!
