Coming of Age


Look at them poached eggs. Ini Masterchef Ezani yang buat.

Excited tak nak tengok Masterchef Final? Tak sabar kan. I didn't follow the show from the beginning sebab taktau pun bila masa startnya, everytime tengok mesti dah halfway and most of the time tengok repeat show. Talented, passionate, creative & skillful diorang ni. Jeles sebab terer sangat-sangat rasanya. Boleh cipta dish pastu masak dengan pantas, presentation macam hotel 5 star. Walaupun tak perfect sebab ada je komen-komen juri, tapi konfirm tererlah dari aku ni.

Tak boleh nak pilih between the two finalist, sebab dua-dua pun hebat!



On today's show terharu dengar Chef Zamir cakap "Saya tidak akan kembali kepada bidang kejuruteraan, tetapi akan meneruskan perjuangan dalam bidang kulinari".

Teringat movie Ratatouile, where Chef Gusteau's motto says "Anyone can cook". Betul ke? I really love the quote from the movie where the food critique Anton Ego gave an astounding comment, but the best part is this :

" Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere" 



Cooking is another form of art. I am so not anyone yang can cook from scratch, campak-campak and jadi dish yang menyelerakan. Opening a restaurant without culinary skill nampak macam tak kena kan? That's why saya heret roomate saya, who has better sense of flavour, who is more creative and have better imagination when it comes to masak-memasak. I am the un-advanterous one. If it wasn't because of him, I would never have discovered  tempoyak, kalau bukan kerana Zana & Yder, saya tak pernah jejak Sushi King and my ex-boss En Ishak yang convince untuk cuba makan escargot. Ini escargot yang we all makan at Jake's.


Tapi ni bukan kena mengena dengan adventure atau pun tak. Haih I don't know what this is all about. You figure it out.
