December 2006

On a fine Sunday morning in mid-November, a table is made from old pine boards (origianlly used to store Dutch cheese) to await a testosterone-driven party of "kart" racers and other friends of the birthday boy.

The four chefs started preparing from 12 noon and stayed there even after the guests had eaten. We made 16 different dishes.

  • spring onion pancakes
  • pigs ears with home-grown coriander and red chilli
    marbled tea eggs
  • fried and boiled wontons
  • boiled Northern dumplings
  • lotus leaf sticky rice with Chinese sausage, shiitake mushroom, egg, greens
  • vegetarian spring rolls with vermicelli
  • fried noodles with shredded pork and vegetables
  • Shanghainese aubergines
  • Szechuan black bean tofu
  • fried vegetarian noodles
  • baked and roasted chicken legs -- marinated in Chinese barbeque sauce with garlic and ginger
  • stir fried Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce and garlic
  • stir fried ladies fingers (okra) with coriander
  • Chinese birthday cake
  • black bean pound cake

Composer and pianist Allan Segall gives a sneak preview of his forthcoming concert in Amsterdam --- interpreting the great Dutch composer Sweelinck.

This is a house of home-made food and live music in the company of friends. A birthday feast in the tradition of a Chinese banquet followed by a piano solo house concert in November (above). An outdoor dinner next to a canal in on a late summer's evening and breakfast the day after the party (below).
