Every chef/cook has his/her workhorse knife. Kyōka Suigetsu (鏡花水月) is mine. My first real chef's knife after my elimination from Masterchef. Almost four years later it's still with me. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefsknives #chefgear chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #f52grams #knives #tools
This one does not have a name. But since the two others carry names that are Anita Mui (梅艷芳) songs...I think calling this one either Flaming Lips (烈焰紅唇), Tango de la Fuego (似火探戈), or Fire on the Ice Mountain (冰山大火) would work. Right...? #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #chefsroll #chefslife #chefsknives #chefgear chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #f52grams #knives #tools
After a night of work, it's done! It's a pizza like no other, with #Italian, #Japanese and #ModernCantonese influences coming together. I call this the Spicy Pork Neck Stirfry Risotto Pizza.

Late afternoon snackage. @SweetToothYYC's "Purple Haze", taro root ice cream with mango jelly. I don't think I really need to say much more. It is pretty damn good. #JohnnysDayOff #yycfood #yycliving #yyceats #captureyyc #icecream #desserts #AsianStyle (at Sweet Tooth Ice Cream)
Look! On the table! Is it a bowl of rice? No! Is it a bowl of congee? No! Is it a bowl of risotto? Yes! But this isn't your run of the mill riso, this is an Asam laksa risotto, inspired by #Penang, Malaysia (馬來西亞濱城)'s world renown hot & sour noodle. Topped with lemon dressed arugula, a poached prawn and a dollop of sambal. #LateNightEats #ChefApprenticeLife #latedinner #dinner #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #yyceats #MalaysianFood #Masakan #fushion #馬來菜 #risotto #rice #prawn #arugula
The lineup of last night's entries @Goldmedalplates #YYC. Some stunning work was on display last night, to say the least. Kinda wish I could've tasted a few of them, though. #TeamWorkshop #ChefApprenticeLife #theartofplating #yycfood #yyceats #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #f52grams #Jarrytype (at Calgary TELUS Convention Centre)
And yes, it wasn't all work last night (even if the work was fun!) I got to stand next to @kailliehumphries AND hold her gold medals from Vancouver and Sochi. Check THAT off my #BucketList, yo. (don't mind the goofy @stephencolbert-esque pose. I do it all the time for S&G. That and having a massive @teamcanada fan moment.) #TeamWorkshop #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #f52grams #Jarrytype (at Calgary TELUS Convention Centre)
I found this one when I woke up this morning. Don't know how it happened but this is super cool. #Selfie with @roy_ohhhhhh, @chefdly AND @chefjinhee. All of them are super cool people. :) (Oh and Chef Jinhee won gold @GoldMedalPlates #YYC last night. Her cha ca La Vong was absolutely jaw droppingly stunning...that's the dish I REALLY wish I could have tasted!) #TeamWorkshop #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #f52grams #Jarrytype (at Calgary TELUS Convention Centre)
Someday, I hope I can stand on that stage. Just like @ChefKennyK and all the chefs in that picture. #CareerGoals, yo. #TeamWorkshop #Chefapprenticelife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #f52grams #Jarrytype @goldmedalplates (at Calgary TELUS Convention Centre)
Heirloom tomatoes, sourdough ends, basil, red onion, Grizzly Gouda, balsamic reduction. All the pieces of a #Tuscan panzanella salad. #Chefapprenticelife #theartofplating #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #f52grams #Jarrytype #salad #sourdough #Italian #CucinaToscana #GardeManger
Makin' a (insert of chiffonnade) mint. So green. #ChefApprenticeLife #Prep #PrepTime #MiseEnPlace #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #yyceats (at charbar)
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
