Dinner last night was supposed to be a salad ... which never goes down well. So I went with Asian, and am quite stoked about being under the tutorship of David Thompson. It's paying off!

Stir fried kan-kong (great local stuff here for 50t a bunch), deep fried chilli/5 spice bean curd, egg fried rice and chilli/soy dipping sauces.

Although I try to resist, when I am cooking now I imagine I am in the Masterchef kitchen ... was pleased with self that I could throw together 3 dishes in 45 minutes .... but was it GOOD enough? Was there enough of that special something, enough creativity?

Cannot believe Jimmy won the cake challenge ... he is the ultimate interloper.
