Tonight's Menu - Drambuie Custard

Starter
Vermicelli Wrapped Prawns with Lemon Basil Mayonnaise

Main
Semur Ayam
(Fried chicken stewed in sweet soy sauce)

Side Dishes
Sayur Keri
(Curried vegetables)

Dessert
Three Chimneys Hot Orange Pudding with Drambuie Custard
-------------------------------------------------------------

Prawns fried in virgin olive oil, individually wrapped in a basil leaf then wrapped up in Vermicelli, resting on lemon basil mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is home made



This is an Indonesian dish. The chicken is fried and then stewed in sweet soy sauce



An Indonesian side dish to go with the Semur Ayam, the main ingredients are cauliflower, green beans and potato

 

Each person had three individual steamed puddings. The recipe asked for only an oz. of flour and a whole jar of marmalade. The Drambuie custard is home made. Drambuie is a liqueur made from malted whiskey, honey from heather flowers and mixed with herbs and spices.



Tonight's verdict:


Seven thumbs up! Or is that 14? How much Drambuie did I put in that custard...

  1. Another busy day in the kitchen! Once again another roaring success by the looks of it. You dont mention how you cooked your Semur Ayam as there are several variations. I tend to use Coconut Cream in mine to give it a richness and sometimes add honey to make it sweeter. Love the twist with the Drambuie on the 3 chimneys - it's a combination I will be trying in the future. Look forward to next weeks installment.

  2. Hi, thanks for the comment, as far as I know coconut milk is never used in semur dishes, its literally any meat stewed in sweet soy sauce, (cant seem to get a good one here, so I always use rich soy sauce and for every 2 tablespoons of soy I add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar) The drambuie custard was lovely!!! I'll be doing that one again soon!
