Singapore daily part 69

 You all know how much I enjoyed my time working in SG and also my family and friends who visit me there, many of my chefs friends around stayed a couple of days before heeding to another Asian destination, all of then came for the food and to experience the hawker culture in SG but also in Malaysia.

To eat here is a cheep adventure and you can find almost everything at the hawker centers around town, sooo many and so little time, you need years just to visit some of them, simply wonderful and not expensive, I was fortune enough to have really good local friends who all the time showed me around to try new and exiting food, some very good and some very strange but exciting of curse, I would say to all chefs out there, visit SG if you want to taste, learn, experience new and totally out of your comfort zone new flavors, here is some of the foods sampled.

Chateauneuf du Pape

Travelling thru Rhone valley is a true awakening for the spirit, a wonderful countryside, friendly people and fantastic wines in all the beautiful villages where my favourite is Chateauneuf du Pape, I could live there for the rest of my life so if anybody want to buy a small hotel that I can run J please get back to me. We started our trip in south of Rhone and travelled thru Banyuls and Rivesaltes where they have some of the best fortified wines in the world, nice stuff. The next stop was in Chateauneuf du Pape and the famous castle of the Pope, fantastic view from the old castle overlooking all the vineyards in the area. I meet up with the lovely young winemaker at Domaine du Pere Caboche Emilie Boisson who let us taste all of her wines, very nice and beautifully balanced wines where she used all of the 13 allowed grape varieties in her red blends. After a nice stroll in the small village it was time to try some more CnDP wines to really understand all of the greatness and

Culinary competition in Egypt

Image
 The last HACE EXPO her in Cairo showcased a wide range of suppliers and alo head the annual culinary competition held be the Egyptian chef association that invited myself to be a part of the judging team, It was great to se especially the young and female chefs showing skills and good attitude that was somewhat questionable by the fellow young gentlemen, to not win and accept is not in Egyptian culture. It was truly great to meet up so  many great guys and to know more people in the trade, some are very nice and some less but any how the output is positive for myself, and great enjoyment. What is nice is to be able to give the competitors proper feedback that will make them stronger and better next time they come back to compete, I want them to show that they learned something every time they spent time in the box. Thank you ECA for the invite and I hope to get a second chance later this year.

Open Balkan & Wine vision

 What a great and exiting competition it was held i Belgrade Serbia end of last year with tons of wineries showcasing the best wines from the region and also some foreign producers, I hade a glass or two !! The other super exiting this was the culinary competition that I was invited as head judge with a team of great friends and fellow judges from Italy, Brazil, Switzerland, Germany, UK and Czech republic, what a brilliant bunch of people and great chefs who help out with Judging and most important to give proper feedback to the competitors, we even managed to present a chef jacket to the Serbian President Vukcic that he can use when his making his famous breakfast pancakes. We tasted some amazing dishes along the 3 day competition showcasing how far the chefs in Serbia and Balkan have gone for the past 10 years, yes there is much more to achieve but the path is crystal clear and we will witness greatness in the future for this part of Europe. Hanging with chefs is always fun and you n
