We had our second instalment of our "Come Dine with Me" series, this time with Jan and Kine. Like the Geesons, they sent their menu out a week before the dinner date and I have to say whoa it looks equally impressive.
Rahul had a last minute work trip to China and so he missed our dinner. Marketa came and represented them, even voting on Rahul's behalf. Hmm… fair play? Dinner was delicious, some of us asked for second helping. Everything was home cooked, right to the brownies and special sauce using Kine's mom's recipe. I was glad that once again, the couples could come together and enjoy a meal together laughing, eating, chatting, drinking.
I think everyone is stepping up the game. K was joking saying "guys, chill! The prize isn't that amazing you know." That's cos he thinks we will get the lowest points. I think each team has so far shown tremendous spirit in showing their best. In the true blue Singaporean spirit, here goes...We cannot lose too! Ahem here comes the kiasu Singaporeans.
So one month later it's Come Dine with the Ong's. I've been thinking long and hard about it, to the point of seeking advice from my unofficial shifu Pris over Christmas. It was quite funny, she asked me about it having read it on my blog and I asked her for ideas! Yes Pris, I will stick to that same idea we spoke about. Just wondering now what we can serve for dessert though!
K and I spent the afternoon painting our bedroom at our new place and so we were admittedly quite late for dinner. I was fretting about like a mad woman but thankfully they were nice enough and felt bad that we were doing work beforehand so once we arrived, everything was fine. Jan was busy preparing the food and Kine was busy serving drinks. How interesting it is that so far, both chefs are the guys! Hmm.. I think when it comes to mine and K's turn, I will be the chef and he can be the butler. lol
We didn't take too many photos that night, only two to share. Shows you how good the food is that we forgot about photos. And great, we found out that Jan used to work in a restaurant and learnt some good tips. Unfair advantage we all say! ;)
