Let me present a nonya menu
Singapore-style steaks. I heard you ask: “What’s that?” Well, Waterlot Inn at the Fairmont Southampton has decided to take the idea of the deluxe steak house one step further and chef Cliff Crawford and visiting chef Daniel Koh, of Singapore, will present a nonya menu — which is Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine that features Singapore-style steaks from December 1 to December 23.The event is being sponsored by the United States Meat Export Federation, US Dairy Export Council, USA Poultry, Egg and Export Council and the California Wine Institute.
Chef Daniel Koh has nearly 35 years experience, spanning international hotels and several continents.
Most recently he was the executive chef of the Sheraton Towers — a five star hotel — in Singapore.
Mr. Koh has been awarded several bronze, silver and gold medals at Food Asia and also recently acted as a culinary judge.
He is a member of the Singapore Chef Association, The Restaurant Association of Singapore, and was the president of the Society of Professional Chefs from 2000-2004.
The chef has authored two books: “The Chinese Art of Healthy Eating” (1994) and “Sensation — Warming Hearts in the City” (2005).
The nonya |0xe0| la carte menu will feature dishes such as Malaysian Black Pepper Prawns with Golden Egg Sauce; Bak Kut The Famous Pork Spare Ribs Tea; and Ikan Panggang, which is Grouper Medallion with sliced garlic, leek, tomato and black olives.
The Waterlot Inn’s regular |0xe0| la carte menu will continue to be offered during the promotion.
Barry Cohen, ma|0xee|tre d’, of Waterlot Inn, said that he was delighted to welcome Mr. Koh to the Waterlot Inn for this special Asian culinary extravaganza.
“We wanted to host an exciting promotion featuring steakhouse items and we think diners will enjoy the delicious delights, which Cliff and Daniel have developed,” said Mr. Cohen.
In conjunction with the Chef’s Association of Bermuda, Mr. Koh and his assistant chef William Choo, will conduct for Bermuda chefs a demonstration on traditional Singapore-style cuisine, featuring the food and wines that the sponsors represent.
Waterlot Inn chef Cliff Crawford said that there is a lot of local interest in Eastern cookery.
“We know locals have an interest in Asian cuisine and we’re looking forward to introducing Daniel and William to other chefs on the Island,” said Mr. Crawford.
