We had burgers for dinner today!
Almost every component of the burger was homemade with love by our chef S, from the burger buns to the burger patties, thick fries, delectable sauce, and pickled cucumber.
Aside from the burger buns, chef S also made a loaf of Japanese milk bread using the same dough, made using the Tangzhong method.
Tangzhong is a roux made with water (and sometimes milk) and flour. Chef S used fresh full cream milk for the roux. It’s cooked to make a thick pudding-like paste, and then cooled down to room temperature and added to the flour mix when kneading the dough. The result is super soft, milky, and addictive bread. I really love this bread and ate it for my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I can't wait for chef S to bake this bread again!

| I'd name this LOL Burger because everyone broke into a guffaw when we ate it. This burger is stacked up so high with ingredients and sauce that when we put it into our mouth, the sauce oozed out and got smacked on our chin and face. We couldn't help laughing at each other coz we looked like messy and sloppy little kids devouring on a burger with sauce all over our faces 😆 |
