the Coq Au Vin - pronounced as "koq aw van" is a chicken stew cooked with onions, garlic, thyme, and mushrooms and simmered over low heat with red wine.
i used Pinot Noir this time, might wana consider chosing other variety of red cos its quite an xpensive choice for cooking LOL, but the taste was quite awesome. I think this dish is perfect if there are like 4-6 person coming over for dinner hehe
Also, i manage to make my 1st successful mash potatoes hehe, very soft and creamy, definately will try making it again if i grill sausage next time hehe.(BANGERS & mash...sluuurrrp!)
For dessert, i made this Small rectangular pastries made of crisp layers of puff pastry and pastry cream. The word mille-feuille means a thousand leaves. LOL wtf french class?! haha nah, cos i dunno how to describe this term in english so yeah , and for fillings, i used this icecream mango i bought at cold storage hehe just nice for the 2 of us. :)
but i failed very badly at the chocolate drizzling part LOL
lesson learnt : use a bigger spoon for drizzle LOL so it wont look so bad...arghhh
till next time, oh man,.tomolo SNY for JCL...for melb..2 meal service....arghhhhhhhh

i really loved the dessert... its crispy when you 1st bite it & the home made custard & mango juice just flow out when you chew it.
sweet.
you just have to taste it.
If u need 4-6 ppl to eat, we will help you :)
ROFL @ yan xian, ya its a good dish for 4-6 though
perfect perfect buddy ... it seems to me that the chicken dish is full of chicken liver. Is that true or my eyes are kidding me?
lol chicken liver? no way, its chicken thigh, i think u mistake the shallots or mushrooms as liver haha
