this celebration was some time coming but what better way to commemorate the biggest deal in my life so far than breaking out the suckling pig :) i suppose biblically, they would slaughter the fattened calf but i don't know any cow farmers. however, on D's recommendation i've been introduced to the bestest suckling pig seller ever and am fast gaining 'regular' status at his stall. at the expense of my expanse, of course. but sleep is for the weak, and diets begin tomorrow because there was a pig to triple-handedly demolish at this partyyy.
and, i'm almost not wanting to share this particularly juicy secret but this was suckling pig like never before. gracious host D lovingly hand carried century eggs back from yung kee in hong kong and introduced me to the most gourmet combination ever. a sliver of these babies oozing their molten yolk goodness on the perfectly crisped roasted pig with a corner of preserved ginger and ohmyword, what a Moment. the hipsta colour is a bit off but i was convulsing in gastronomical glee.
we'd kailan blanced in spiced water and drizzled with macadamia oil and a good white wine to round things up.
such a simple pleasure, easily replicable and a truly memorable meal.
