no. I cooked with the skin on and when I tried to separate it from the skin it didn't hold together. Not photogenic.

Seared sea scallops with potato pancakes
lemon tart with raspberry sorbet

Big salad - freshly ground pepper (thanks Boggie dog!) and my BEC croutons. They�re really still LOUD.

Lunch yesterday at Cedric�s Tavern on the grounds of the Biltmore estate. They bring fresh pickles to your table along with ice water. I could not place the flavor, but they are quite unique.

Me: 1/2 pound burger cooked medium. Lettuce, onion, tomato, ketchup, fries.
Mrs BV: Spring garden tart (tomato, mushroom, red pepper, gruyere cheese, pickled mustard seeds), green salad.

No alcoholic beverages because we had an appointment for a wine tasting to follow.

Tasted a Ros�, Sauvignon blanc, Malbec, Syrah, Mourv�dre and Tempranillo. The Malbec was the best of the bunch.

[/QUOTE]


As mentioned in earlier post , just not found in Singapore !
We have not seen it on menus anyway where we go .
Perhaps at some backpackers / touristy joint ? if at all ..

What we had last night , first time for me , was lobster “ pao fun “ ( crispy rice in broth ) . Pao fun is somewhat common here these days after only being round in fancy Chinese restaurants in hotels like Hua Ting ( Orchard Hotel ) and Summer Pavilion ( Ritz Carlton ) .
Also fish head curry - Chinese version - with beancurd ( pok ) and beanskin .

Singapore noodles came (if I remember what was told to me) from HK. Some genius added rice vermicelli, indian curry, a few veg and some pork/shrimp together and called it Singapore noodles. From there is spread to wherever there were HK diaspora. Similarly we have cooks here who add belacan (a type of shrinp paste) or curry to flat rice noodles (and pork and shrimp) and call it "char kway teow" (it isn't)... or mixes belacan with rice, ground pork and a few other veg and calls it malaysian fried rice (which I have never seen in Malaysia).... it's HK cooks getting creative.... unfortunately for those of us who know, it's just bad marketing... don't get me wrong, a lot of it is still tasty, but don't try to pass it off as another national dish.

"King of Pao Fan" is supposed to be good (mixed reviews)... but there was also supposed to be one somewhere in the north... but I can't remember what it was called (pao fan was only a side gig for them)... but yeah. It was very rare before, but now becoming more common from what I have heard.

Big mixed salad - BEC style. Actually even my spouse confirmed that it�s a loud salad - probably the red cabbage and carrots and celery besides the croutons!! Lol

susiecakes!
strawberry cupcake
celebration cake

Tonight will be burger night. Stopped off at my butcher. Picked up some of his chuck/sirloin blend patties. I will saut� some onion, garlic and mushrooms. Add some Sweet Baby Rays secret sauce, which I kick up with some Franks extra hot sauce. Add some slices of slab bacon, purchased at the butcher as well. Cook the burgers in bacon grease (it adds a great taste to the meat). Toast some brioche buns�.and there you have it! Some fries on the side�washed down with a Red Stripe. I will be sleeping right after loading the dishwasher!
