Spiced poached pear with vanilla ice cream

To poach the pear you need to make the poaching liquid

1. Marsala wine 2 cup
2. 6 clove
3. 4 star Anise
4. 1/2 cinnamon stick
5 1/2 cup of water
6. 6 cored pear half

Poach the pear in the liquid using medium heat until pear is soft . Do not over poached as pear will break .

I allow it to cool down and take out part of the liquid to chill it in the fridge

I use connoisseur ice cream.

Plate as shown with poaching liquid, pear and ice cream

Thai grilled pork / beef

One of the tastiest marinade

1. 4 tablespoon of fish sauce
2. 2 table spoon of palm sugar

Steak Sandwich and Grilled beef on Beef Jus


Steak Sandwich with Rockets, Mango Chutney, Jap Mayo and Worcestershire Steak Sauce  


Steak with Beef Jus


I bought a packet of Scotch fillet beef and taught my housemate a couple of  quick 30 min meal.

The steak Sandwich took us only 15 min to make and it was delicious. The key to the steak sandwich is getting your flavors rights.  We took a fillet of steak, grilled it on high heat seasoned with Moroccan Spice ( Can be bought in any Supermarket). I like mine medium rare.

I toasted a couple slices of bread and laid on the rockets, sliced beef, toasted sesame seed, spiced mango Chutney, Japanese mayo and Worcestershire Steak Sauce.

For the steak with Beef Jus.... i will blog about it later
