NUDE Seafood - Surprise Birthday Treat from Friends

My friends sent me some food today from NUDE Seafood, so here are the photos. Most impressed with the careful packaging for the burger. The homemade yoghurt bun seemed light but pretty filling in da tummy. The burger patty was a tad too pink for my liking, but it was surely moist and juicy! Expect messy drips of the srirachi aoili. Suggest to share this with a friend or family, as it may be a tad too much for one pax. Ideally, to pair it with a glass of wine or ice cold beer.

Just a Burger @$18.80

Let's see what I've got from Grissini, one of my favourite F&B at Grand Copthorne Waterfront. To start, let's try the Burrata Pugliese. Ahhh, Puglia is Chef Mirko's hometown!

Burrata Pugliese @$19

Loved the fresh burrata with the heritage tomatoes and arugula. Mild, creamy and light to taste.

There's soup too. Mushroom veloute that had various types of mushrooms including button, porcini and oyster mushrooms. With a dash of parsley oil. It was lukewarm due to the long journey to reach my home, so it went into the microwave for a short while. The soup was tasty, hearty and thick!

Wild Mushroom Veloute @$11

Next, one must not forget to order the pizza from Grissini. An absolute favourite! Best if it was eaten right at the restaurant, but nevertheless, thankful to be able to enjoy this treat at home too. This time round, tried the Regina Margherita. It didn't look like it had a lot of mozzarella but boy, it was bubbling once the square went inside the toaster! Its crust was super thin and crunchy, and those toppings were such a joy to have! Lovely.

Next up, given a choice of Norwegian Salmon and Roasted New Zealand Ribeye, what would be your choice?

I choose...both! Or rather, I shared both with my family. So half-and-half, it shall be! I must say, the price of the mains are really reasonable. Thick, slab of beautiful salmon for just $19? Wow!

Salmon @$19

The accompanying vegetables were delish! Those roasted baby potatoes, sauteed spinach, grilled cauliflower and asparagus were yums. The fish was cooked through though I'd prefer it to be slightly pink but its flavours were on point! Lovely oils too. Oh, and did I mention the roasted sweet tomatoes were literally bursting with flavours?

Roasted New Zealand Ribeye @$27

The vegetables sides for both the salmon and ribeye were the same. The beef portion was good and wow, the first few bites were unbelievably tender even though it was a long journey from Chef's kitchen to Yew Tee. I was impressed!

'aint this pretty?

A good meal makes one feels pampered. Thank you Grand Copthorne Waterfront and Grissini, especially to Chef Mirko and team, and of course, Gilbert for arranging the takeaway/delivery service.

For dessert, I enjoyed Chef's Signature Tiramisu. Though I had it one day later, it was so good. Especially when I missed having dessert like this!

[Circuit Breaker] Cooking with Perfect Earth Pasta

Received the Perfect Earth Pasta from my friends at Forever Young Enterprise, a well-known and established Organic and Natural Health Food provider in the industry. I was most impressed that the Perfect Earth Pasta is a range of gluten-free, allergen-free, gmo-free, suitable for vegan and is also Kosher certified product. Wow!

Perfect Earth Pasta

Now, let's do the taste test. I'm not much of a cook and the last I had cooked any pasta was, hmm...possibly right after my university days and during share house period? Like, about more than 10 years ago? Hahaha, I'm usually a ramyeon person more than a pasta lover. However, am excited to try Perfect Earth Pasta because I didn't know that know there's such a wide range of pasta available made of the various rice like organic range of black rice, red rice and brown rice, plus there's another range with chia seeds!

Randomly chose one to try, and decided on the Perfect Earth Organic Chia Pasta Brown Rice. Going to do a kimchi chicken bulgogi sauce for the pasta.

let's try this

Here are the ingredients for the sauce

1. One pack of kimchi - I used Bibigo stir-fried kimchi pack (80g)

2. Two large cloves of garlic - chopped

3. One small slim carrot - chopped

4. One big yellow onion - sliced

5. One pack of chicken bulgogi - about 330g

At home, the stove is not working, so most of the time, I can only do cooking in the pot or in the toaster. For this experiment, I used the rice cooker to cook the meat and the sauce, while the soup pot is used to boil the pasta.

stir-fried kimchi pack

To cook the chicken

1. Heat up the oil in the rice-cooker

2. Placed in the chopped garlic and brown it till fragrant

3. Placed in the onions and carrots. Fry till onions are soft.

4. Add in the chicken bulgogi and brown it for about 5 minutes

5. Pour in the kimchi. Add water to the sauce in the kimchi pack and put it together with the meat

6. Simmer for another 10 mins

To cook the pasta

1. Put salt into the water and wait till it boils

2. Drop in the pasta sticks (2 handfuls for 2 pax)

3. Cook for about 5 minutes and it should have softened but still al-dente

4. Drain the pasta and move the pasta into the chicken pot

5. Toss well and simmer for about a minute will do

I liked the texture of the cooked pasta which is not too al-dente and not too soft too. The chia seeds gave it a lovely texture, much like toasted sesame.

lovely bite and texture

Easy to cook, healthy and reasonably priced! Let's stock up some of these in the food cupboard, shall we?
