We were a couple of fortunate souls, when J suggested dinner over at her place. She had catered for her parents' anniversary party over the weekend and lucky for us, there was plenty left for another dinner party.
We had dinner alfresco since it was a cooling night. And the first course was a mushroom soup. I really liked the hand whisk she used to give the soup some body and refreshing
bubblies. Really classy!
The next dish was the highlight for all of us. Prawn and scallop ravioli, they tasted similar to the goose liver ravioli from
Bonta, sans the fat and grease and heaviness. The seafood gives the parcels a refreshing and light kick and the
tomatoes and olive oil re-emphasizes it's light goodness without the
oiliness. They were incredibly yum!!
The ravioli entrees were followed by a scallop pasta.
Alot of work I must say, with the little attention to details. The chopped chillies and little fried shrimp and the finishing touches of freshly shaved
Parmesan cheese added to each diner's fancy.
Quite a creative use of seafood in Italian cooking. Normally prawns feature in seafood pastas and I can't eat due to my allergies.
So I was more then thrilled to have scallops.
The last course was a cod fish in
miso paste, which reminded me much like the ones served at "Taste Paradise".
Hmmm, wonder if their chef's secret
recipe is just another word for
miso paste?!
Absolutely stuffed, we still managed to finish 2 bottles of wine and 3 tubs of Yammi yogurt for dessert! We are such greedy people =p
