Thierry Lerallu is Pastry Head Chef and David Morris CuisingeChef Instructor

Outside the lecture demo hall

We have a break but no lunch is provided so we went to Madeleine for a set lunch which consisted of

spicy croquette

spicy tuna spaghetti

milk tea and dessert for RM20.00 no plus plus and no GST yet

Now David Morris is going to demo how to cook consomme and a dessert

he shows us how fresh the squid is, it is of shashimi quality and he pops a piece in his mouth

now he is cutting the rock melon to make rossettes

he used the meat slicer to slice the rock melon!!

the egg white has grabbed all the bits and pieces into a raft and floated on top of the soup

shaping the rosettes

nearly done

decorating with coriander, a marvellous herb to him

see, like a work of art: edible painting

Rosettes of MelongMango, Chilli Salsa

now he is using a sieve to dribble the soup on the plate

helper is cooking the rest of the consomme and also blanching the vegetables while chef is preparing the squids

he is pan searing them

spooning the sotong onto the plate

After hours of cooking, this is the result

you would not know how much ingredients went into the consomme and how long it took to prepare that!

Asian Inspired Consomme with squid

Blogger taking close ups of the food

everyone takes photos of the food, it is now a must

He is getting good close ups of the dishes

trays are brought to us for sampling: shot glasses of consomme and a small bowl of rossettes

no seconds!

our serving

hmmmmmmnnn good! but not enought!

savouring the consomme that took hours to cook and with so much spices and herbs and fish that went into it, you must taste everything consciously

then we were taken on a tour of the designer kitchen that costs RM6 million to build!! We passed by lots of Sunway University students at the concourse.
