Dinner just for the holidays

Thursday was an interesting day because I had two things going on on the same day: visit from some Kuala Lumpur friends and a dinner appointment with some chef friends later in the evening. Well, after some juggle with the menu and some tourist guiding, everything got ironed out well and dinner 'rolled' as planned. Here's a peek at the menu...

 The table was set later in the afternoon in a jiffy. Added the mats and side plates later...

 First course (after some tasting of my Asam Heh), foie gras two ways: a crème brûlée of foie gras and a prepared bloc de foie gras (bought them from France, it's easier), cherry confit and toast.

 Serrano ham on a bed of musk melon, fleur de sel and a drizzle of olive oil.

 Spiny lobster bisque served with a portion of the tail...

 Pan fried salmon bloc with truffle-infused potato mash and salad of pea shoots and mesclun, served with beurre monté flavoured with cilantro ...

Comte cheese wedges on a bed of carrot salad with curry vinaigrette and purée of golden raisins and steamed carrots.

And dessert was tiramisu, my old faithful easy to handle faire...
