Kai and Monty hosted a dinner party last night, and everyone contributed to the meal. The food was fabulous, the company was wonderful as always and we all had a blast.
Here is my contribution to the meal: wonton shells filled with a mixture of shrimp, avocado, Persian cucumber, scallions and sesame seeds in an Asian-style dressing.
Kai and Monty have the most amazing taste. Their house is filled with all kinds of antique and modern decorations - all of which works together to create a warm and inviting environment.
Kai set up his "station" to prepare the main course, a Chinese noodle dish with pulled chicken, scallions and peanut oil. He boiled the chicken beforehand and shredded it right before serving.
Here's Kai pouring the hot peanut oil over the chicken and scallion mix. You could hear the sizzle of the hot oil against the crisp scallions - YUM.
Monty made an amazing Japanese eggplant dish with bacon (yes, bacon) and seasonings. It was fabulous!
Monty dished out the noodles while Kai served the hot chicken and scallions. The combination of the juicy, moist chicken flavored with the mild peanut oil and scallions against the noodles was perfection. I am definitely getting this recipe from Kai!
Here's Monty's eggplant dish. Another recipe I have to get!!
Giselle made a wonderfully rich coconut flan for dessert. She served this with dulce de leche and whipped cream. I looooooooooooove me a good flan, and this was fantastic.
Sharing good food, good conversation and a good joke (or ten) is my idea of a perfect evening with friends. Thanks so much to Kai and Monty for a wonderful dinner!
