Canape

What is Canape?

Small, decorative pieces of bread (toasted or untoasted) that are topped with a savory garnish such as anchovy, cheese or some type of spread. Crackers or pastry may also be used as a base. Canapés may be simple or elaborate, hot or cold. They're usually served as an appetizer with cocktails. The word "canapé" is French for "couch".

Hunter's Box

Hi everyone. I feel very excited this week. Lot of ideas come through my mind. As I promised yesterday, today I'll show you one of the main course that available in Tiffins. It is a Hunter's Box. This box actually contains two dishes but you have to choose only one either Teriyaki Cod or Chicken with Soba Noodles.

This is Teriyaki Cod. It is really delicious. Sorry no recipe at this moment. I hope you enjoy!

Food Testing

It is part our daily routine at Tiffins Restaurant to prepare a food testing before we start our daily operation. Executive Chef will try the food and comment on the taste. Every comment will take serious consideration in order to improve our food quality. Here are some photos.

Tomorrow I will write something about main course. Bye!

Lime Granete

Hi everyone. Salam Ramadhan. Less work so I got time to create something. Today I will like to show something. Not a creation but something that I learned at Tiffins. We call it Lime Granete. It's like an ice blended. Sometime we use other flavour such as Rapsberry.

Normally we served Granete in between starter and main course. But of course it's still depends on the customer. Sometime they like it to be in between but sometime doesn't. Anyhow I hope you enjoy and see ya!

Dessert Time

Well to those who have any idea on your favourite food probably you can highlight at my tagboard. I am looking for Malay Food in order to follow the concept. So hope to hear your suggestion soon...

Watermelon

Wow! It's been quite sometime. When I looked at my blog I noticed that I update nothing. So with the time that I have today I would like to share with you a watermelon that I carved not too long ago.

Actually my housemate bought the watermelon for me to carve. He been so suportive all this while. This creation took me 4 hours to finish. So I hope everyone like it.

What a Spaghetti!

This is another one. My housemate asked me to cook something for dinner for him. Very menyusahkan. But since he helped me a lot so I didn't mind preparing something simple yet delicious. So I looked around at my kitchen and noticed there was spaghetti in the jar. And I still remember that I bought Dowry Fish from Giant last two days.

So my mind started processing... Finally I got the idea but my food taster said it quite hot. However those who like it hot (spicy) you can follow my recipe. I give you Fried Spaghetti with Dowry Fillet.

Serve sprinkled with mix herb, black pepper and grated Parmesan cheese.

A Special Treat

Last 2 weeks, I gave my friends a very special treat. Actually I just wanted to share my happiness as I'd been promoted to a new position in my department. Of course my housemate played the major role as the host and he sent out e-mail to our friends.

I prepared special noodle. I got the idea from Kylie Kwong TV Programme in Channel 11. So I called Noodles in Vegetables Gravvy. Everyone was so happy.

Sumptious Tea Break

Last Wednesday, Marketing Department hosted a Tea Break for journalists from Yeah Magazine. So I was asked to come out with an interesting menu. First thing came out from my mind was fried meehoon. But I haven't think on how to cook them. I went back home and told my housemate - he is from Marketing Department, I wanted to prepare fried meehoon. He said what a coincident. The journalists love to eat fried meehoon.

Finally I got the idea and my creation called Fried Meehoon with Shitake Mushroom and Kalamari.

Fruity Fruit

Still got time to post new entry? Yeah! This was for our big boss who came to his boat house. He organised a party so I decided to come up with something... a fruity plate. I carved a papaya. Very simple one and I stuffed the papaya with grapes and leaves. I felt so happy as I can show my creation to everyone.

Another Creative Idea

Hi everyone. I am very busy lately. A lot of things to do. Especially when my boss decides to organise Beach Party over here.

Well enough about that. Today I want to show you a photo of another creative idea that came across my mind. I made this for my colleague, Ashraf. I carved one watermelon and two papayas with free of charge. For me money is not priority in doing this.

My First Order

Hello. How's your day? Actually I want to share my first order from my housemate's friend. This is also my first carving using a pumpkin. It is not that easy. He charge RM40.00. Do you think it is worth it? Well you decide.

Hi! I would like to show photo of my first attempt in Sunway doing fruit carving. Actually this is for a group function from State Tourism Action Council. My boss so happy even though I think my creation not that outstanding.

So here the photo taken by one of colleague. And it is a watermelon.

New Day
