Quack Quack!

Quack Quack!!
The Canard is calling..haha,
Its duck week,..actually..haha,,this menu was a month ago,
So we're given duck and few items to cook from scratch once again, and my creation for this menu is..

Roast Duck with Braised Cabbage and Caramalized Mango with Risotto accompanied by Gastrique Sauce.

Overall I think I did pretty not good..its pretty obvious from the picture below..

Here are what the chef comments..

Duck is kinda rare
Portioning of duck a little too much
Cabbage lost its colour
Caramalized Mango not caramalized enough..

My personal comment for my dish would be,
Sauce a little diluted which made the presentation looks messy
Mango cutting totally not nice,
More seasoning on duck and add herbs to enhance the taste as well as get rid of the strong duck smell..

Here are the other dishes by my fellow groupies and also what I think of their creations...!
hehe, no hard feelings alright,..

Eunice
Nice presentation of sauce
Risotto is hard..haha,

Celes
Pilaf Rice seems alot,
Sauce not enough,

Josh
Crowded presentation
Great idea though

Lisa
Mango not enough caramelize
Risotto which is deep fried looks like good idea, but chef commented must be in its original form of just risotto..lol


Yew
One of the best presentation I guess..

Patrick
Another good presentation..
Lack of colour but looks nice..

Sam
haha, Big portion for everything..

Chung
Large portion..
Duck taste good though..

Henry
Good idea on presentation

Overall this is all we have this time as our class has been made smaller to just 10 people..
And it is very very very obvious on the presentation and culinary skills of ex DH students and ex DC students..
Obviously, their idea and end product is more satisfying than of DH..and I have nothing more to say than needing more practice and pointers from them..lol..
Au Revoir..
