CCC's Creation Culture - Fusion

Alot of my friends usually ask me how to cook when they are curious about food. Some even give me phone calls when they're stuck and lost with their recipes. And there is this one friend who really loves to cook and always asked me to teach him a few things.   So one day i invited a few to come over my test kitchen to have a cooking session. My friend wanted a menu which consist of Fusion food. So here it is, some pictures to let you people eat with your eyes. Creamy Carrot Soup for the first course to fill up a 3 course meal and to teach them what is the basics of a soup.

Polenta Crusted Stuffed Chicken with Curry Leaf Mushrooms with Creamy Butter (Lai Yau) Spaghetti and Thai Style Salad served with Curry Sauce and Wasabi Mayo.

As you can see, theres influences from the European, Japanese, Italian, Thai and Malaysian. I hope that is fusion enough for them, heh! Buffet style fine dining? Guess these people doesn't get enough of my food :P As for desserts, i did ice cream made out of dry ice to teach them how easy it is to make some ice creams at home.

Pineapple Dry Ice Cream and Cream Cheese Parfait with Chocolate Tabasco 

As for the drink, its called Herbiéto. My special creation :P but it doesnt look that good in a champagne glass. Maybe i should continue serving it in a claypot :)  Ice Ice Baby
