Dinner last night was homemade baba ganoush with a pita bread then drumsticks with peri peri sauce, a salad and some potatoes. Probably ate too much really.

Grilled swordfish, grilled asparagus, local blueberries, toasted corn muffins.

Yes, Plum's market. I thought they were more widespread. Papa Joes is another gourmet market but I think they are only in Detroit area too (my former turf & my sister's current turf). .
Enjoy the

But here are a couple photos to start , not platter for now as have to cut down on sweets for a day 😳 😉 My cousin is able to prepare this but just between his 2 toddlers & legal work .. takes some cajoling and planning .. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...428b8fc2f.jpeg From my Melaka ‘ s cousin now defunct cafe https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0c068eaf8.jpeg Yummy 😋 ‼️

Thanks for sharing about Food King , not watched them before ❗️
The platters we have are a spectrum of colours , somewhat “ rainbowy “ , with each colour denoting the filling - lotus , mung bean , red bean , yam ..

I saw on an episode of Food King (don't say it) a wild Ang Ku Kueh "tower" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vnubr9qd3s 13 minute mark)... looks like it might be fun at parties...
Seriously though, there's only one place (I know of) which makes them here. But you have to order in advance. Tempted to learn to make them myself though.

Wish I could go, but I'll likely be knee deep in project work around then. But definitely will reach out next time I go. Just building up a list of things to eat right now.
Now you're just being mean. Next you're going to show up a ang ku kueh platter.... :( I don't think we've even scratched the surface of SEA foods yet... but it'll be fun trying. Here is plate of Ang Ku Kueh missing some colours , if not they almost represent the Olympic colours if not the rings even as the Opening Ceremony is on as this is posted ❗️ The different colours of the Ku Kueh indicate the various fillings . https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1295e06af.jpeg Small platter Will add another photo later with the kueh pan fried as they were not eaten “ immediately “ https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6db938866.jpeg Here are the panfried duo Hopefully , the other ku kuehs , to be enjoyed by others , will just be as yummy as the now panfried coconut & mung bean . |

I'm intrigued. At first I thought you left a clue that you were at Firefly, but I looked it up and it says permanently closed. Maybe just at a friend's house???

I made Paul Bocuse's Steak au Poivre with a Dijon cream and a side of sliced potatoes. I can't eat like this every night, but it's good to indulge every once in a while.
...and there's a good chance I'll find escaped peppercorns all over my kitchen for the next few days. |
We ate one of the neighborhood Italian places last night. I had spaghetti with sweet Italian sausage. Mrs BV ordered mignon and 4 cheese fiocchi. My FIL ordered shrimp scampi for the first time. It’s a dish that is boring most places and this was no exception. The rest of us were pleased. They have Peroni on tap - not one of my favorites, but I went with it anyway and enjoyed it enough to order a second.
