| Wahlberg brothers shooting reality show about Wahlburgers Posted: 17 Jan 2013 05:40 PM PST HINGHAM, Massachusetts, Jan 18 — Walhberg brothers Mark, Donnie and chef sibling Paul have begun filming on a reality TV show that will follow the entrepreneurial family as they build their burger brand — aptly named Wahlburgers.  From fine dining to burgers to … reality show; it follows, from actor brother Mark Wahlberg. — AFP pic A subsequent tweet also indicates that the show will air on The History Channel and invites fans to take up the opportunity to be on TV and meet the celebrity brothers. "Stop on by for some grub! You may be on the History Channel…" After running a successful Italian fine-dining restaurant Alma Nove in Hingham, Massachusetts, chef brother Paul opened a burger joint in the same town in 2011. Burgers at the Wahlberg eatery are made from a blend of chuck brisket, short rib, and can be topped with blue cheese, caramelised onions, bacon, homemade pickles and onions, sautéed mushrooms, avocado and chili. The brothers also announced plans to expand the brand throughout the US, starting with Boston. It's not the first time celebrities have been filmed as they try to navigate the restaurant business. "Famous Food", which aired on VH1 in the US, followed D-list reality TV celebrities such as Heidi Montag of "The Hills" fame and "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Danielle Staub as they tried to open a successful restaurant in Los Angeles. — AFP/Relaxnews |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2013 05:00 PM PST KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 18 — Any doubt that this dish originates from Asia will be wiped away once you notice the main ingredient in them, besides the chicken of course. Screwpine leaves! Commonly known as pandan leaves in Malaysia, these are quite a common sight in most South-east Asian dishes, from meat to fish and even desserts!
They are usually sold either dried or frozen in Asian stores, though they may even be available in paste forms at some places. The fresh leaves are much more effective at providing flavour and a stronger aroma compared to the dried ones, making them the first choice in most dishes. For this dish, the gentle flavour of the pandan leaves softens the strong taste of the chicken, resulting in appetizing bites of chicken meat that do not crowd your palate. Wrapping the chicken pieces with pandan leaves also allows the meat to be tender and flavourful when they are fried, encased in the protective embrace of the strips of these aromatic leaves. This makes them excellent appetizers, as they succeed in only teasing your tastebuds and have them ready for the main course. Or you could also serve them as delicious snacks, though you might have to make large quantities... once you try them, it's really going to be quite difficult to remember that they are just snacks. Preparation time: 4 hours (including marinading time)Cooking time: 15 minutes Serves: 4-6 400g chicken thighs, deboned, skinned and cut to bite-sized pieces * For more recipes, go to www.chopstickdiner.com |
Screwpine leaves lend a distinct, floral-like fragrance to the ingredients they accompany, and their sweet, almost rose-like flavour mingles with the natural flavours of the other ingredients. While they are available in abundance in South-east Asia, looking for them in other countries may be a little difficult.| You are subscribed to email updates from The Malaysian Insider :: Food To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
