The episode that I was a judge in a cooking contest was aired and the episode can be re-watched online through this link. It is really encouraging to see the contestants trying their best in something that they like best. A particular contestant had her dishes created because of her care for her children. It is really heart-warming to know that warmth can be felt in a subtle but meaningful way.

Hope that you will enjoy watching it.

甜品…给人甜甜的感觉

I like desserts and every time I have desserts I cant help but feel a sense of joy as it reminds me of my childhood days as well.

The concept store that I mentioned earlier has finally arrived. Dragon brand will launch a dessert cafe concept this August which will offer a variety of bird’s nest and Hong Kong desserts prepared by a renowned chef.

It is a concept to mark Dragon Brand 53th anniversary this October. Stay tuned for its launch and i will blog about the desserts in my next few posts.

I was invited to be a guest judge in an episode of an upcoming Channel U cooking program. It was an interesting and enriching experience as I get to learn from the host, Mark Lee, and an experience Chef, Thomas. I have learned more about movie making from a chat with Mark and he is set to direct one himself this year…Maybe we can work on a movie project together in the near future.

Mum is really particular about what comes out of the kitchen and she just wants us to have the best. Not having a chance to enter my mum’s “territory”, I more into creating desserts than cooking. Fortunately, I am still very much into bird’s nest as I am curious about this delicacy since growing up with it. So I made an effort to learn how to make them delectable and sharing my acquired knowledge with my workshop participants. It is always an interesting moment when I have to present the double-boiler and sharing with the rest how my mum prepares bird’s nest in it. Of course, there are other ways to prepare the delicacy but the “safest” and more secure way is using the double-boiler (I presume). As I begin, I will always ensure the rest that it is really not that tough. I would then say that its because I have come up with three magical steps – trademarked by me They are cleansing, picking and then boiling. All will take up to around 2-3hours with the breakdown as follows: 1) 1 hour submerging the bird’s nest in water for it to expand up to 7 times its original size and removing unwanted particles 2) about 2hours to double-boil the bird’s nest with warm water (this is important as it will be ready faster) and then adding rock sugar during the last 15minutes. Tata! Bird’s Nest is ready to be served. Its that simple…really…
