Course 4 of the #SxSEFeast: Kuala Lumpur x Salvador. Laksa ramen "à la galinhas Xinxim". Fresh ramen noodles with a creamy almond "curry" broth. Served with fried tofu, prawns, concasséd tomato and cilantro. Chicken xinxim is apparently Pele's favourite dish, and to cross it with my favorite Southeast Asian soup, how awesome is that? #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticesFeast #yycfood #yyc (at charbar)
That's one big mistletoe... (taken from @eatsofasia's booth @marketcollective. It's a #RamenParty this weekend!) #marketcollective #yycfood #yyc
A day 10 years in the making. This original #YYC-based @torontofc supporter is ready to see the Reds finally win the #MLSCup. I've cried so many tears over the last decade, but have met so many folks whom now I call friends. Distance may separate us, but to use a Shakespearean analogy: tonight on what is our St. Crispin's Day, my spirit (no matter where my body shall rest) will be at BMO Field in #Toronto. When the supporters jump, my spirit jumps with them. When the supporters cheer, my spirit cheers with them. When the supporters celebrate, my spirit will celebrate with them. Bring it home, TFC. I believe. #TorontoTilIDie! #ComeOnYouReds! #TFCLive #MLS #MLSCupPlayoffs #torontofc #6ix #416 #403
The three musketeers of lunch. "Alley Burger" fugazza, mixed greens salad with feta and red pepper, lamb & chickpea stew finished with cumin yogurt and cilantro. A lunch fit for a blustery day like today in #YYC. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtLunch #yycfood (at charbar)
After a long work week, it's time for three #ChefApprenticesDayOff. Late (very late) lunch today @crossroadsmarketyyc... @EatsofAsia'a house specialty red curry & crab paste pork on ramen noodles, with a Mexican Coke. Finished off with a @burnt_to_order Bowie crème brûlée (not pictured, too much goodness, must devour on sight.) It's good stuff, (and I'm not being facetious) you seriously should consider checking it out if you haven't. Seriously, I can't say that enough. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc
After being tortured ALL WEEKEND (thank you very much everybody...) with pictures from @eatforeign, it's time for me to put out a few. Dining alone tonight, and starting off with a salmon fresh roll. Yuzu cured salmon, crème fraîche, gochujang. Really nice way to open...salmon actually has a good note of Yuzu, but not overpowering. Still more to come... :) #ChefApprenticesDayOff #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc (at Foreign Concept Restaurant)
Plate 2 at @eatForeign: Shiitake mushroom and tofu, chili lemongrass and soy dashi. Reminds me of a hiyayakko tofu (Japanese cold tofu). Really nice. #ChefApprenticesDayOff #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc (at Foreign Concept Restaurant)
Plate 3 @eatforeign: Mackerel "ca kho to", with daikon, shishito pepper and rice cake, served with coconut rice. This is a Vietnamese classic through and through, and punched up it looked and tasted amazing. Caramelized fish sauce smothered over a massive Mackerel filet. I think I'll be dreaming of this dish for a while... #ChefApprenticesDayOff #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc (at Foreign Concept Restaurant)
Plate 4 @eatforeign: Vietnamese coffee parfait. Like a tiramisu but even better. Strong coffee and chocolate flavours, with a bit of sweetness, just like how a ca phe sua da should be (although I do take my Viet coffee on the sweeter side). But why have just one dessert... #ChefApprenticeDinesOut #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc (at Foreign Concept Restaurant)
Plate 5 @eatforeign: ...when you can have another dessert? Passion fruit pavlova, coconut tapioca pudding. Compared to the coffee parfait I think I like this one better. I've always had a weakness for cold coconut tapioca soup for dessert. This just makes it even better. This was worth the wait for sure...and I honestly can't wait to come back for more! #chefapprenticedinesout #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc (at Foreign Concept Restaurant)
Butter poached lobster tails, basil beurre monte. What a way to start a new year, eh? #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #yyceats #happynewyear
Butter poaching that lobster meat. So amazing! #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #yyceats
How do you make butter poached lobster better? How about a black garlic rice pilaf? It actually matches rather well. #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #yyceats #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #Jarrytype #happynewyear #seafood #lobster #pilaf #blackgarlic #FrenchCuisine #classic

Brined pork centre cut chop katsu Japa-curry don. #Dinner straight outta Yokosuka. A sprinkle of shichimi togarashi, and a small spoonful of @hatihatihotsauce finishes it all off. #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #dinner #curry #カレーライス #豚カツ #deepfried #pork
Chicken tortilla soup for lunch today @charbar_yyc When life hands you a lemon you better make that metaphorical lemonade. And when you have seasoned chicken stew... Although according to some of our lunch diners it was "too much stuff". TBH, I've never heard anyone say a soup had too much stuff. This is truly a first! Nevertheless, delicious. It's still available (quantities limited) @philandseb East Village until 9pm. Grab one & let me know how it tastes. #ChefApprenticeMakesLunch #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #soup (at charbar)
Pimped out #congee (粥) for brunch. Savoury rice porridge, youtiao/yauzhagwai (油條/油炸鬼) croutons, cilantro, sesame, shrimp & uni (海膽). Fluffy, crispy, and umami at the same time. Missed the congee train today? It's back next Sunday @eatsofasia. Come get some, 'cause this ain't your mama's congee. #ChefApprenticeCooksLunch #ChefApprenticeLife #yyc #yycfood (at Eats of Asia - EoA)
