Etiquette Dinner
Yesterday I brought my 13 'daughters' to Friends @ Jelita for our term 2 cluster outing.
We had a 8 course dinner which specially prepared by Chef Thomas. He guided us throughout the dinner, so that we will enjoy the food with proper table manners.
Side plate on the left,drinks on your right. Not forgetting the appropriate cuttleries for each course.
1st thing we learnt was how to eat the bread roll elegantly. Remember, bread crumbs shoud be on the plate, not all over your table. Also, the butter knife must face inward.
1. Amuse Bouche: Prawn Cocktail
2. Salad: Australian Mesclun salad with exotic dried fruits & raspberry vinaigrette
3. Soup: Cream of Asparagus
4. Fish: Pan fried Parrot fish on rocket salad & dill cream
5. Meat: Roasted Leg of Lamb with mashed potatoes, broccoli & mint sauce
or Grilled Chicken Breast with mashed potatoes, broccoli & orange miso sauce
6. Pasta: Smoked Salmon Cream Spaghetti
7. Desert: Praline Cake with passion fruit coulis
8. Coffee or Tea
Chef Thomas is such a nice man, he also prepared extra pasta dish (Aglio Oglio) for the boys who still have plenty of empty space in their tummy:)
Due to work, darling arrived late & his 8 course dinner was 'compressed' to 4. Lucky him as Chef Thomas served him cold pasta with truffles as startes!!
