You are... Jenny Hui, executive chef at The Lazy Gourmet, 1605 West 5th, LazyGourmet.ca, 604-734-2507.
Describe your cooking and/or the theme of your restaurant:
At the Lazy Gourmet, we cater to a lot of different clients, and therefore cook a variety of themes. Examples include modern, West Coast gourmet, rustic, and much more.
We might also find you dining out at... I love Chambar, Tableau, and the Flying Pig. You can also find me chasing food trucks to see what they are coming up with! Thats how I get my exercise!
Your dream dinner date: Thomas Keller, French Laundry, Bouchon, Per Se need I say more?
Last nights dinner: Pulled pork mac and cheese with my family. Kid-friendly food.
If you had a date with the electric chair, your last meal order would be ...
Duck confit, polenta, cherry sauce fennel gratin, and a Blizzard.
Youd gag if you ate... Deep fried butter. Ive never tried it but just the thought of it!
Youd be happiest at Happy Hour with... Lychee mojito the perfect summer sipper!
Secret treats: Promise you wont tell? Prawn tails, pan fried with garlic and chilies and a touch of honey. The crunch and the spice its weird, but delicious!
Youd take a long flight in economy class for that one meal at...
French Laundry
Menu suggestion for a hassle-free, sit-down dinner party for six:
Pad thai and coconut mango rice pudding. You can make this all days in advance heat and serve and put all the toppings for the pad thai on the side so guests can dress up their own bowl with cilantro, limes, peanuts, sprouts and hot peppers! Better yet, order it from us and transfer into one of your dishes.
Five must-have kitchen ingredients:
Kosher salt, truffle oil, dried mushrooms, butter, Chinese sausages.
