: : Post-Christmas Teaser : :

Hi all! It’s now into the 1st week of 2005. Sorry for posting a bit late. 1st week of work for me so things have been pretty hectic.

Anyway, here is a teaser of the Christmas Eve Dinner which I will be writing about this weekend. It was a fun time at home and the food along was an amazing spread of both Western and Asian cuisine. As usual, we had a lot leftovers and everyone was struggling during the last week of 2004 to finish it all!

Roast ham with an amazing ingredient in it. Would you believe that the chef soak the ham in huge amounts of Guinness Stout? It came out very well and we could not taste the Stout at all. Well, maybe a bit but it’s not the alcoholic taste. It was the malt taste that got into the ham to tenderize it. The ham was bought from a small supermarket in Miri which has a huge cold storage business. It wasn’t fresh ham but still, it tasted great.

And this is my cousin, Ms. A. One of the many chefs of the night. Here she is showcasing her masterpiece.

Now that was just a teaser. Will probably have to post the pictures up in parts because there were more than 10 dishes altogether.

Cheerio!
