Foodgasm 2.0 Feature: The Dawg House

This dog house attracted lots of attention, thanks to their Dawgzilla which was a 15 inch hot dog.

Sadly, by the time we decided to get one, all Dawgzillas had been annihilated by hungry creatures. Nevertheless, we settled for the Jumbo Dawg which measured 8 inches.

Kau Tim Lah apologises. 
We polished the Jumbo and completely forgot to take a picture, so here's one from the Foodgasm page

Sausages are always a "kau tim" thing for us, what more thick fresh-off-the-barbie sausages! The people at Dawg House made the experience even better as they were so lively and despite the stifling heat, put on the kind of face you can only find on passionate people.


On the grill

Served on fluffy, soft buns with what looked like poppy seeds, the Jumbo hit the satisfaction mark. Beautifully cooked, there were no ugly pockets of oil or charred bits on the sausage. We got everything to go except chilli on the top. The onions were just the right chunk sizes and the coney sauce with mustard was well-balanced in terms of flavour.


The queue was long but hey, another shot of a cowboy on the barbie for you!

The Dawg House has no plans to start as a business....YET but here's a piece of advice: Kau Tim Lah!


 The folks from the Dawg House 


You can find them on Facebook: The Dawg House


Ladle and Whisk

They describe themselves as boutique caterers who bring you wholesome, real, good food made with the best ingredients. 
Having had the opportunity to have multiple tastings of Ladle & Whisk's creations, I can attest to the quality of their creations. 



Their granola mix in the works

Their granola mix consists of sunflower seeds, walnuts, and dried fruits. Perfect to be eaten on its own or with milk or yogurt, it makes a great snack or breakfast. Personally, I would even add in some fruit for a burst of fresh tartness.

Clockwise from left top: Lasagna, granola mix, sticky date pudding, quiche

The sticky date cake accompanied with caramel sauce was marvellous after I popped it into the oven to warm it up. I still think of it on rainy days especially!

Ladle & Whisk's lemon slice was so darned moist and tangy. For extra oomph, you can even nudge them to make it more lip-smacking and drool-inducing. This is a recommended addition to tea parties.

The pumpkin, spinach, caramelised onion and feta quiche was an interesting mishmash of savoury and sweet flavours, very much invoking thoughts of comfort food with a twist.
Peanut Bananarama: banana, chocolate and peanut butter in one cake!

In tribute to one of Ladle & Whisk's favourite 80's band, the Peanut Bananarama consists of dense twin layers of banana cake with Ghirardelli dark chocolate chunks, smothered in a creamy peanut butter frosting. This will definitely be a hit with many people (I'm talking to you peanut butter fans out there!). 


Banoffee Pie

I love banoffee pies and Ladle & Whisk's is no exception. The caramel is made in true-fashioned hard work i.e. stirring and watching the pot for hours. This gooey goodness is then used to smother banana chunks in a lovely pastry crust and topped with fresh cream.


Besides whipping up beautiful dishes, Ladle & Whisk offers their culinary services to clients. You can order their pre-marinaded meats for a BBQ. Think chicken breast stuffed with herb butter, squid skewers with Creole marinade, chilli-lemongrass stuffed fish, marinaded ribeye with salsa verde and Mediterranean vege skewers in harissa marinade. Certainly not your average Joe's barbie thrown. Besides that, if you would like an cosy dinner in the comfort of your own home, Ladle & Whisk can play chef for the night.

Their advice to you: Think of us as that friend who always brings the best lasagne or brownies for the potluck party!

Orders must be made 3 days in advance by dropping an email to ladle.whisk@gmail.com. Follow them on Instagram @ladleandwhisk for more updates on their kitchen adventures.

Alternatively, you can catch them this weekend at Foodgasm Fest 2.0 at Taman Rimba Kiara this Sunday, 12 October 2014 from 10AM to 10PM!
