Denpasar Dreaming.

[pagingjoan]

This is the problem. Chef said that when he arrived here 8 months ago, the truffles were already here.
Ordered by the previous chef. Not only are they cryovac'd but they are / have been stored in the freezer.
Now this not something I have ever heard of before. But I suspect ( as chef does) that taking them out would not be a good move. So we will remove only one or two to try.

I did think a nice start would be scrambled eggs with sliced truffle.
The eggs need to be cooked gently. Not whisked within an inch of their lives. IMHO the best recipe / technique is the Bill Granger version.

I will need to see what his larder has in stock.
Feel free to make suggestions.

Not a truffle storing method I've encountered either. But I have a chef visiting today, so I will pass this by her and see if she has any comment - well, any printable comment? She has a house in Umbria and we often visit during truffle season but it's never more than a few hours between purchase and plate for our shared truffle indulgences.

I like your truffled egg idea, as a test run.

+1 - but if you are going to visit go EARLY - this is so popular and the queues post 6pm are just horrendous (Unless something dramatic has changed situation in last month or so). The Ayana resort is just spectacular in itself FWIW

Aside from jeans and hiking / walking shoes. I don't have much in the way of "lounge access " quality gear.

Enough for kitchen duty, though.
Although we would like a pic of you in whites and clogs, please.

I think I posted the Eclair class pix in the wrong thread.

Yup! 'Fraid so.
I found them in "Cushy status run..." Post #38.
I think it's beyond my AFF capacity to move them here.
Still, you are spreading the love, so that's fine.

I tricked you by posting in your thread and you posting in mine. Its karma. Bali is a stomping ground for me and Paihi where I am currently is your land.

Just to make you feel better I'll reciprocate.

I like your post Pushka - but the attachment link brings up an error message for me. Will try again when at my computer. May be just the iPad.

Good cross posting, guys. Double your readership!

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah me too

Pushka, you've given us a QF IT experience here. Didn't work as anticipated.

Pagingjoan, I'm using a laptop and the website and the attachment is not working for me.

Nothing like increasing your readership here you two....a bit of healthy cross posting never hurt anyone.
If you roll it all into one (NZ and Bali, two different experiences) I won't even need to read two threads. Aw, not really. Both TRs are so good.

And you have been getting plenty of free promotion, too, LTL, with the back posts from your great "Two Dames" Double Trip Report.
This may all be becoming just a tad incestuous?

You noticed? LOL - It was all Pushka's fault, I didn't do nuffin'
