Bonjour~~

To celebrate a housemate's 26th birthday (shh...he better not read this!), we decided to organise our own version of Masterchef with a French theme. We attempted to do a three course meal, and I had the responsibility of preparing the main course (which I am truly lousy in). When we were busy preparing in the small kitchen of ours, it felt like a team challenge =)

The irony of it, my prepared dish was ratatouille and it looked more of an entree than a main. On the other hand, the entree of salade de riz had a portion size of a main! It wasn't the only thing we did wrong or to best describe our meal, my housemates made adaptations/improvements e.g. the rice salad had a slight fusion adaptation (note: soy sauce for colouring?!!)to it.

Clafoutis au chocolat et baies mélangées, a rather dense chocolate cake to me. The amusing thing again, this recipe is very different from other clafoutis recipe I have known. It didn't have flour in it and other further adaptations to its original recipe.  

French was such a wrong theme for us to start with, however, we had an amazing night entertaining ourselves with the "adaptations" and laughter. We also had the company of Doctor Parnassus and Percy Jackson.

Happy Birthday, dear housemate and friend of mine.
