In 2012 I sat in the 57th floor restaurant by Justin Quek and marveled at his beautiful HQ in the sky.
We lunched on sakura chicken, his famous Foie Gras Xiao Long Bao and listened to his stories as he kept us company for an hour.
Today, Chef Justin is busier and even more famous yet he remained as good-natured as ever.
He had launched JQ Flavours last year which consist of 4 sauces and a Chilli Sesame & Coriander Dip.
Meanwhile, JQ Home comprises of a Nutri Double Boiler, 13 pc tea set, a 24 piece Dinner Set and a 4-piece Bowls & Rectangular Dish Set.
There are 2 JQ cookbooks out in the market now and Chef Justin even has a JQ Signature which markets his private label wines.
Gosh, this is a man of action!
JQ Flavours: JQ Sambal Seafood Paste, JQ Satay Marinade, JQ Singapore Curry Fish Paste, JQ Straits Chinese Sweet & Sour Chilli Sauce
I got a set so I’ll be cooking with these 4 packs soon! Stay tuned for my reviews ok!
Meanwhile during our media tour yesterday, Chef Justin prepared a delicious, light, frothy espuma that had us all licking our spoons clean.
You can watch the video here.
This cauliflower espuma was made with white chocolate added, a sprinkling of sea salt and topped with caviar.
The result is a combination of silky mouthfeel with savouriness from the caviar while the sea salt balanced out the overall dish.
VIDEO: Cauliflower Espuma
I enjoyed this, as evident from the video where I literally wanted to lick this shooter glass so I won’t waste a single drop.
But that would be unseemly to be captured on video.
Unfortunately this exact dish isn’t on the menu, but you can savour the below today and tomorrow. 5 dishes available daily, plus a special of the day which makes it 6 dishes in total.
