Like Father, (Like Mother) Like Daughter. . . . . .
People always tell Rose how lucky she is because of the cooking she gets to eat. I met Yokie when I was Sous Chef at MSU in Bozeman. I paid for a lot of my studies rolling sushi. Some of you even got to try the noodles at my old hawker stand on Jonker Street in Melaka.Yokie is one of the best cooks in the world. Her classic Cantonese food is insane. She's a world class baker.
Rose gets some amazing homecooking. Outside of the Ramsay family, there probably aren't many kids who get such good food at home.
Well, the other day she started to pay us back. She prepared for me the most amazing lunch snack.
She took good passionfruit. Did you know that the good ones are the wrinkled, sad looking ones? Don't buy the tight, full looking ones. Buy the ones that look like they are a few hours away from full blown raisination.
She scooped out the seeds and saved the juice. Then she took some really good in-season lychees. She peeled them all for me, and piled them in a perfect pyramid in the center of the plate. She covered them with passionfruit seeds, and topped it all off with passionfruit juice.
It was a tropical explosion of flavor. Delicious and ultra healthy,
A perfect first meal from a perfect young chef!
