It’s been awhile since my last entry in this blog. Guess I’m just being lazy but then again I kinda missed not writing and so, here I am.
.
There’s a lot of things that has happened politically especially about that guy Anuar who has won the by election at Permatang Pauh and wit that, changed the whole political scene in Malaysia. Finally the opposition has a bit more balls in the parliament and that is a good thing. The era of two third majority is over and everything seems to be on the right track. BN has to be real careful as to what their agenda is coz there’s no room for fuck ups and that is fer sure. I just cant wait to see what happen next. The show must go on.

Back in the kitchen, things were as usual. We got pretty busy for the Midsummer Feast but everything went well. Chef Kevin Cape, our new Exec Chef for YTL did the menu and it was a good learning process for the boys in the kitchen. In addition there are guest chefs (Stephen Mercer, Bobby Chin, Chef Ismail etc.) that came in to promote the event and working with them has been an eye opener and also fun for everybody.

So, now it is the Ramadan period and things are getting really slow at the restaurant. After lunch service, the boys started to prep dishes for breaking fast and here the creative juice started to flow. There are so many good local dishes that to eat them all in one sitting is kinda tough. I think that I may have to scrape that idea I had of losing weight during Ramadan. I’ll post some pictures pretty soon. Still hasnt dwnld da pictures in my phone and there’s a lot of dem.
Journey Tru Time
Saturday, December 1st, 2007 Write a CommentIt’s gettin a bit busy now at Shook since everybody are preparing for ” Journey thru time” happening at Starhill. There are so many functions happening at the same time and its kinda suck coz most of them will be organize by shook. Since they are a lot of tenants thats gonna be participating on this event, the problem of getting them to confirm their cocktail menu is the biggest challenge. Not to mention the functions that we have to organize ourself. Most of the decisions came in on the last minute and no thots were given to the kitchen side at all where the real work are to be done. I think they thot that its like McD where you just have to unwrap, cook and serve. But no fear, coz we are so used to this BS already and i’m sure its gonna be smooth like butter.
Lots of bigshot in da watch dept will be there including people from Forbes who i’m sure have a nice and expensive watch demself. Anyway dis must be a big deal for TS Francis fer sure. Things HAS to be perfect and that is definitely what we’re gonna strive for. Some of da dishes by our “Asian Fusion” Chef Kevin Cape looks promising too and i hope we can make it work.
Wassup wit all these expensive watches anyway? I just don’t get it, but then again i don’t really make millions and definitely cant afford such luxury. Hey, it is a free country rite? What u wanna do wit your money is totally none of me bzness. I just think that there’s a lot of other ways to spend it.
