New Zealand Food Connection Chef Challenge - Lovely NZ Secret Garden

After an inspiring Culinary Demonstration,
With New Zealand Master Chef, Nadia Lim,
By New Zealand Trade Enterprise......

I accepted New Zealand Food Connection Chef Challenge....
And starts to prepare the ingredients on what to cook....

My New Zealand's Hero Ingredients includes:
1st: Anchor Pure New Zealand Butter

2nd: Rockitapples:
The crunchiest apple I'd ever tasted!~

3rd: Pure South Lamb Loin,
By Alliance...
Farm Fresh to you!~
          
4th: Talley's Greenlipped Mussels...
In the half shell...

I applied some Anchor Pure New Zealand Butter,
On Tally's Greenlipped Mussels...
Added 2 pcs of red dates,
And 3 slices of ginger,
Then I steam it....
I cut Pure South Lamb Loin...
And only take the boneless part...

Marinated it with soy sauce, oyster sauce, 
Abalone sauce, five spices powder, starch powder...
For around 1/2 hour...


Put some Anchor Butter,
Into my hot pot...
And see the butter melt in the pot...

Put in the marinated lamb,
And start frying until it turns golden...

Wash and cut vegetables,
And boiled for just a little while...

Arrange the vegetables,
Into variety types of flowers...

My little princess,
Is quite satisfied with the flowery outcome..

Boiled quill egg,
And remove the shell..
Put into a mould...

Angelic rabbit,
Is carrying Rockitapple's Umbrella...

I cut the lamb into heart shape,
Cut a star shape Rockitapple (without the skin),
Put it on top of my 'Lovely Lamb Chop'
And make it the main flower in my garden...

The red Rockitapple's skin,
Became another lovely triangle-flowers,
In my Lovely NZ Secret Garden...

My little prince's idea,
To make the Greenshell Mussels,
As the wings of our special apple-bee...

Ta-Da!
Presenting...
The final outcome of...
Our Lovely NZ Secret Garden...

    Wow, Lamb loin! I have been craving for lamb for years now, the last time I had some was back in 2010 haha. Wow, I'm now inspired to make my own Lovely Secret Garden, but with Manila ingredients. Your dish looks great!

    Oh wow how creative is all that food - absolutely love it, but would be disheartened to eat it all. Love cooking with butter... there is nothing better than steak cooked with butter!

    Packed mussels? Hmmm....
    I'd still want to eat fresh seafoods as we have it here in PH. But those butter and cheese are great products from NZ.

    Cute way of plating! I just think it's missing something; possible sauce for the lamb maybe? Anyway, great job in completing this challenge! :)
