Father's Day 2010
This is
my menu for Father's Day this weekend. We recently went to Jaan Par Andre for lunch, on the very last day that Andre Chiang was there. While my food is light years removed, this menu is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Andre's magic, especially the dessert.
Appetiser
SUPER SLAW
Julienne of cabbage with peanut butter dressing
Main Event
WALDORF IN A BUN
Pork ribeye burger, recommended with blue cheese mayonnaise and pear slices
or
BEDDAR CHEDDAR BEEFY BURGER
Cheddar-stuffed Rosemary Beef Burger, recommended with garlic aioli
or
FILET-O-FISH, ALL GROWN UP
Grilled fishcakes, recommended with tartar sauce
Accompaniments: sauteed mushrooms, grilled onions, eggs sunny side up
Dessert
SAGO GULA MELAKA
Sago Gula Melaka version 2010
Of all the dishes mentioned above, only the dessert (assuming it's successful) will push the envelope. We've all had sago gula melaka with the wobbly semi-solid sago and the delicious gula melaka and coconut cream sauce. My version (hopefully!) is an inversion, where the gula melaka and coconut becomes the solid and the sago the liquid. So, I'm going to make a log consisting of a layer of coconut ice cream and a layer of gula melaka ice cream and drizzle sticky sloppy sago just before serving.
FINGERS CROSSED!
