sooooooooooo

Let the buffet dinner

BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and i shall switch my language into

MANDARINE

as this is the launch of Chinese Blogging Competition~^^

 Lemongrass Juice (香茅汁)

那一枝枝的其实是圆筒形的冰块

里边包含着一枝香茅

造型特别吧！

可是当我喝下去时～

咦.....怎么淡淡的？？？

原来必须自己加糖的 

有点孤陋寡闻。。paise..

 Assam Prawn Salad

吃起来酸酸甜甜
有点轻微的辣

味道是不错，蛮开胃的

只可惜可能在冷气房的缘故

送进口时

已经冷冰冰了

我想这点应该注意注意。。。

Black-eyed Pea Cake with Salted Egg Yolk &MY CookBook Chili

哇靠！听起来阵容蛮大的还请来了

Black-eyed Pea歌唱团体

哈～是芋头糕啦
但不知怎么

也许放了一段时间还是什么材料的味道

闻起来有点异味

这纯是小丑个人的看法～没恶意！

 Smoked Omega Egg with Caviar &Shimeji Mushroom

这个的摆设蛮有心思的

但也许我还是比较能接受热的食物

所以。。。

店里的重头戏来啦！！！

 MY Crispy Chicken Roll and Fragrant Rice

 当晚的食物里我会推荐这道

好像鸡饭酱

但如果包着鸡肉的外皮脆一点

我相信更好吃，也达到他的crispy名吗！

 左图的辣椒酱跟我们吃鸡饭时的辣椒酱差不多，不错！再配上脆脆的黄瓜。。

还有条形的油饭

赞！^^

再来。。

 大葱、黄瓜、沙茶酱

你会联想到什么呢？？

 对啦！！

就是马来西亚

大名鼎鼎的美食之一

MY CookBook Satay

chef准备了两个版本的Satay

SATAY GORENG

外皮脆脆的

不错啦。。厨师的创新吧～

 SATAY AYAM

好啦～～～～

这就是我的

战利品！！！

当晚的
