Food Smarts...

I don't know whats gotten into me lately, but I think I've been more interested in creating small simple dishes such as amuses or appetizers... I think its because its one of the most interesting componets to the meal, 1. its the start of a meal so when people taste a really good appetizer or amuse, they will know that the food that is about to be served during the whole service will be good & 2. it showcases what the chef is capable of creating under certain constraints^^ something I've still getting used to at where I work at....


This is my creation - Pan Seared Fish Fillets with a Citron Creme^^
I was thinking about something to do with Dory Fish (which at where I work at, is basically the only fish used-_-..) and also I was thinking about something to do with Vodka Citron.
I honestly think this pairing goes well together especially with the earthyness of the fish fillet and the citrus zest of the sauce; and that if I had some vodka to work with, where I flambe the lemon zest together with the lime leaves, its would give the sauce the extra zest, unfortunately I didn't have it...



All in all, I was very happy with what I came up with in 15minutes, before my area chef called me over to talk about some stuff, luckily, I wolved down my creation before he got a chance to lay his eyes on it, orelse I'll be given that look hehe;p Till next time...
