Traditional Stuffing with Gravy
A smoked ham, mushrooms and peppercorn flavoured stuffing that is not just good with turkey, but absolutely wonderful for breakfast the next morning!
Rosemary and Garlic Potatoes With Red Wine Vinegar

with rosemary and garlic. Add a splash of vinegar for more flavour!
Xmas Roast Pork Workshop Menu 4 with Chef Yong @ The PA CCs
Corn, Bacon and Porcini Mushroom Chowder
A great soup full of chunky ingredients and lovely flavours of smoked bacon, freshly shucked corn and dried porcinis for that earth taste. Wonderfully good for kids too as they would appreciate the taste of bacon and sweetness of corn.
Slow Roasted Pork Belly with Balsamic Soy Glaze
An entire strip of pork belly marinated with spices and slow roasted to tenderness and a crackling skin. With a slight hint of Asian flavours, this makes it more appealing for all generations in the family and any leftovers can simply be stuffed into a mantou for the next morning’s breakfast

The Ratatouille Workshop with Chef Yong @ Cairnhill CC Kitchen Studio
Ratatouille Ala Provence
Most of U have seen the animated version in the cinemas, now its time to catch the real thing. This comforting peasant style vegetable dish sends comfort to many French especially those who stay or have been to Provence in South of France. Originating from the city of Nice where Chef Yong spent five and half years honing his skills from local chefs whenever he steps ashore, it will presented in the same style of cooking and plating as you have watched in the movie. Coincidentally the Chef is also born in the year of the Rat!!

To compliment the above Ratatouille, Chef Yong pairs it with a delicious tendon juicy grilled chicken leg, served with Aioli or freshly roasted garlic infused mayonnaise.
Poached Pears in Red Wine with Vanilla Ice Cream and Pistachios

Japanese Style Bacon and Spinach Baked Rice
Oozing creamy bites of sautéed bacon with fresh shitake mushrooms and spinach in a dashi flavoured rice gratinated with mozzarella cheese.

Hot Favourites 5 with Chef Yong @ the PA CCs

One of Chef Yong’s specialties that marries lightly battered prawns sautéed with garlic and pepper and a touch of vanilla balsamic syrup. Great as a tapas dish or something to start with for dinner menus.

A delicate stew of fresh dory fillets with a light brothy sauce of tomatoes, pine nuts and a touch of white wine. A generous sprinkling of fresh basil livens up the dish with a side accompaniment of roast potatoes.

Poached pears with Greek yoghurt and mint, soothed with honey and crunchy almond flakes, a sweet indulgence with pleasant textures and refreshing notes.
Vietnamese Cuisine Workshop 3 with Chef Yong @ The PA CCs (Refer to previous blog for pics)
Caramelised Prawns with Salad and Fresh Herbs
The recipe was inspired by one of America’s most successful Vietnamese born architect –turned Chef, Charles Phan who is the Chef owner of *The Slanted Door Restaurant in San Francisco. Plump juicy shrimps with a soy caramel glaze; serve on a bed of salad greens and fresh basil and coriander leaves. A fantastic starter for a planned dinner menu or just simply served with plain steamed rice.
Crispy Fish Fillet with Tamarind Sauce
I tried this dish in Ho Chi Minh City and my Vietnamese Chef friend was kind enough to share the recipe with me when he was invited to our Lion City as a guest chef. A wonderful sauce made with tamarind paste, lemon grass, ginger and chillies, it is simply fantastic with most seafood recipes.
Rice Soup with Minced Pork and Mushrooms
Often regarded as an alternative comfort food to Soup Pho, a simple rice soup can be served in a big way with refreshing herbs, enhanced by high quality fish sauce and fragrant aromatics like garlic oil and pickles. Perfect way to start or end the day.
