Guinea Oinks...

For some unknown reason over the raya break, I decided to try my hands at cooking. Decided to venture into some Japanese themed light dinner, had my cousin over to be the guinea oinks... :p Found it very therapeutic to cook :)

It's a simple 3 course dinner starting with a Dashi based soup with Shimeji Mushroom and tofu. The base is maded from konbu, bonito, mirin and shoyu. Daikon is then braised in it together with some chopped ham. Shimeji mushroom and Tofu is added in before serving. I also tied a ribbon of leek on the shimeji mushroom (forgot to take picture).

Next came braised diakon with sauteed duck liver and leek confit. Main course is a mixture of flavour and texture comprising of miso marinated halibut with grilled Negi asparagus and tear drop tomatoes, buttered mangetout + asparagus and mashed orange and purple sweet potato :p



Was too lazy to work on the presentation, so I just plonked everything in the bowl and plate. Will need to work a bit more on the flavour of each dish. Will try cooking again one of these days... any volunteers for food taster? (eat at your own risk!)
