The End: Durian Cake () With Banana Ice Cream () And Coconut Cream () Topped With Fried Shallots. Now

The end: Durian cake (ขนมหม้อแกง) with banana ice cream (ไอศครีมกล้วย) and coconut cream (กะทิ) topped with fried shallots. Now you're probably saying, "shallots, bananas, coconut AND durian? Are you mad, man?" -- hear me out. I'm a fan of durian (story to follow in comments), but this together works. I truly tip my hat to Chef @erichendry for pulling it off. I also poured the sweet peanuts in, too. Double happiness! Plus it still allowed me stomach room to eat another round of satay. Triple happiness! #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticesDayOff #yycfood #yyc #ThaiFood #Thai (at Model Citizen)

Continuing with the first course, it's a pairing of pork neck satay (it is extra, but so worth the $5) with the Miang of crab, pomelo and peanuts on (what I believe to be a) shiso leaf. Amazing flavours. The satay sauce blended with the coconut milk, and the Miang was nice and clean. #ChefApprenticesDayOff #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc (at Model Citizen)

I can't stop celebrating my beloved @torontofc's first appearance in the #MLSCup! Ten years ago on May 12, 2007 I watched as Dichio score in the 24th minute, and I've been hooked ever since. Nigel Reed's call of that goal still ring in my ears every time I think of it. And the seat cushions. Oh, the rain of cushions! But since that day It's been a long, hard slog filled with more heartbreak and disappointment than joys (covering the quarterfinal win over the @lagalaxy in the 2012 @concacaf Champions League knockout phase for @sbnation's Waking the Red is one) -- but tonight shows that pain and sorrow is finally paying dividends. Bigly! Tonight I'm enjoying yet another lovely glass of #Prosecco, but I'm hoping many more are still to come after December 10th when I celebrate #TFC lift the trophy! 十年前嘅五月十二日下午時候，我係電視中見証歷史，昨晚我再次見歷史係我嘅眼前實現。 十年前係狄奇歐射入多倫多FC首個入球，十年後係同一個球會邁向MLS終決賽嘅新疆界。 係十年之內成為一個身在卡城嘅「勇等」，都算係一個好大唳失落嘉年華，多苦少樂。 不過昨晚我睇到TFC由首回三比二反敗為勝滿地河七比五，係我短短人生中最開心的一刻。 如果TFC係十二月十日可以打贏西雅圖捧MLS杯，十年嘅心痛會一剎那一筆勾消。我嘅TFC捧杯黃金夢，可否成真？我真心真意希望呢個夢想可以成真。 #ComeOnYouReds! #TorontoTilIDie! #MLS #tfclive #mlscupplayoffs #MLScup2016 #yyc

Course 2 of #SxSEFeast: Singapore x Lima. "Ceviche mixto" yusheng (魚生) salad, with a tamarind-Yuzu dressing. Pear, cucumber, green papaya, red peppers, carrots, Peruvian can have, and line-caught Albacore tuna. The salad is usually served at Chinese New Year, where it's also. called "Lau Hei" (撈起), where tossing the salad (don't snicker) is a group activity to bring good fortune for the new year. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticesFeast #yycfood #yyc (at charbar)

Second course: "Crying tiger" (เสือร้องไห้) salad. I don't think I can say much on this one; the seared steak and the dressing...great. #ChefApprenticeLife #chefapprenticesdayoff #yycfood #yyc #ThaiFood #Thai (at Model Citizen)

Fourth course: Beef shin Mussaman curry (มัสมั่นเนื้อ). Don't mind the rice on the plate. It's instinct that I just simply put the rice right into the plate...i couldn't help myself. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticesDayOff #yycfood #yyc #ThaiFood #Thai (at Model Citizen)
