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)

Grilled snow crab resting on top of sourdough & heirloom tomato panzanella salad. First course from tonight's @charbar_yyc asador feast. This ain't your mama's crab salad! Extra proud of this one since I kinda was put on the spot to come up with something for first course tonight, and that we sold out of it. This one's for you, @pinodicerbo. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #crab #salad #Italian #CucinaToscana (at charbar)

First course from my #SxSEFeast tonight: Beef chorizo xiaolongbao (小籠包) "steamed empanadas". Served in a traditional bamboo steamer basket. I am part Shanghainese (on my mother's side), so this one pays homage to that side of my family. #ChefApprenticeLife #yyc #yycfood #ChefApprenticesFeast (at charbar)

Third course: coconut chicken soup, or Tom kha gai (วิธีทำ ต้มข่าไก่). I was cautioned by the server to *NOT* eat the salt under the coconut bowl when the dish arrived. Fair warning, y'all. Flavour wise, nice and creamy. Crack the chili in half and let it steep for a minute for extra heat. #ChefApprenticeLife #chefapprenticesdayoff #yycfood #yyc #ThaiFood #Thai (at Model Citizen)

The chocolate flan, with candied pistachios, Maldon salt & dulce de lèche. This is dessert, kids. Also, #ComingSoon. #ChefApprenticeLife #TheArtofPlating #yycfood #yyc (at charbar)
