Hey there, fellow food enthusiasts! I’m thrilled to share a glimpse of my culinary journey as a finalist on the exhilarating second season of MasterChef Singapore through my signature dish, “Steamed Jade Perch with XO Sauce and Dashi Beurre Blanc.”
This dish encapsulates my dedication to pushing culinary boundaries. The Mangrove Jack, delicate yet robust, is elevated to new heights through the art of smoking, infusing it with layers of complexity that mirror my own growth throughout the competition.
But that’s just the beginning. The dish truly comes to life with the introduction of the unexpected – a vibrant and tangy kimchi that adds a harmonious contrast to the smoked fish. The kimchi, a nod to my willingness to explore diverse flavors, dances on the taste buds alongside the tender Mangrove Jack.
And then there’s the velvety Cauliflower Puree, a canvas that anchors the dish and provides a creamy balance to the dynamic flavors. It reflects my commitment to mastering classic techniques while infusing them with a touch of modernity.
Join me in experiencing the culmination of my culinary journey through the harmonious marriage of flavors and techniques in “Smoked Mangrove Jack with Kimchi and Cauliflower Puree.” As you take a bite, you’re not just tasting a dish; you’re savoring the triumphs, challenges, and heart that went into creating this culinary masterpiece.
Barramundi is one of my favourite type of fish to cook and I love locally farmed fish that is direct from farm to my home. If you think that pan frying is a little too troublesome, you can also poach the barramundi fillet directly in the coconut broth for 8-10 mins depending on the thickness of your fillet. I infused the broth with some Thai spices to bring up the aromatic flavour of the broth. A simple yet restaurant worthy dish which you can easily recreate at home!
Everyone loves Thai basil pork and it is a famous street food of Thailand. For this recipe, I went with my own tweak by using prawns and adding salted eggs. This is probably the easiest Thai food recipe which you can easily replicate at home.
Wonton soup is a comforting dish to eat on any days. I love my prawns dumplings with water chestnuts inside as it brings sweetness and crunch to the dumplings. For the soup broth, I usually make them using pork or chicken bones. The broth should be light and clean to complement the flavours of the dumplings.
Quiche lorraine is a classic French savoury tart that usually consist of simple ingredients such as cheese, ham and vegetables. I usually go with just ham, onion and cheese. If you prefer a more fancy tart, you can add in baby spinach and mushrooms too!
