Dark Valhrona Chocolate Mousse with Fresh Raspberry

Merry Christmas everybody!  Merry Christmas!

How about something right out from left field?  A special sweet recipe instead of the usual savory ones.

If you are running out of ideas for that little Christmas pot-luck soiree your friends or family are organizing, look no further.  It’s sweet and a little salty - quite like having cheese slices on fruit bread.  Super rich, and amazingly gorgeous.

Ingredients:

100g Pur Caraibe chocolate
15 g butter
1 egg yolk
100g whipped cream
2 egg whites
20g sugar
4 raspberries
Icing sugar
Gold leaf

1) Melt the chocolate in a bain marie (or a shallow stainless steel pan)
2) Add the butter, whisk then add the yolks
3) Meanwhile, whip the egg white with sugar to soft peak stage (meringue)
4) Incorporate the meringue to the chocolate together with the whipped cream
5) Set in the fridge for one hour then pipe in the pie
6) Decorate with a fresh raspberry, some icing sugar and gold leaf.

Cheers!

Gourmet Pie Tee Cups - Prawn Avocado with Tomato Salsa

Every so once in a while an idea so simple yet so delicious comes up which makes you think “why didn’t i think of that?!?”.

By pairing up tomato salsa with prawns into our crispy little cups, we have an adaptation of the Mexican Nacho - Singaporean style.  It is almost like a little tomato salad.

Salads in general go well with our cups.  The Thai Mango Salad paired together in our Tee cups for example is a perfect blend of exotic tropical fruitness with a zestful twang - in a delightful bite-sized crispy morsel.

Ingredients:

4 prawns
1 diced avocado
2 ripe tomatoes
1 small red onion, diced
¼ bunch chopped chive
½ chopped red chili (seedless)
3 Tbs olive oil
½ lemon juice

1) Cook the prawn in salted boiling water for 4 mins
2) Cool down in ice water and peel the shell
3) Cut the tomatoes in 4 and remove the seeds, cut them in small dice
4) Combine the avocado with tomato, onion, chive, chili, olive oil, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper
5) Garnish the bottom of the pie and top with the prawn.

Cheers!

Gourmet Pie Tee - Yellow Fin Tuna with Coconut

Here is one gourmet recipe that I tried out with a few friends over the extended May Day holidays with wonderful response.

Another one that is so simple to prepare.  Absolutely no cooking required so it won’t mess up your kitchen.

The red onion and lime adds a special zing to the tuna, opening up your tastebuds, while the coconut and water cress brings a juicy and crunchy light-tasting feeling.

Perfect as appetizers.

Ingredients:

100g of sashimi grade yellow fin tuna, diced
¼ bunch chopped chive
1 small red onion, diced
Zest of half a lime
Juice of 1 lime
3 Tbs lemon flavored olive oil
2 Tbs coconut milk
Few slices of coconut
Baby cress to decorate and shredded coconut
Salt, black pepper

1) Combine the tuna with the chive, red onion and zest
2) Season with the salt, pepper, lime juice and coconut milk
3) Garnish the pie and decorate with the shredded coconut and the baby cress.

Cheers!  Bottoms up!
