Entier Ox Vadouvan

Today is Fri, 11.jun.21, Day 11 of 14, 3 more days to the what's next question. Yesterday, Thu 10.jun.21, we went out to Lucky Alley and Swee Heng to buy Takeaway food for two days.

Continue with the food from Entier. For the main meal of set 2, I chose Ox &  Vadouvan. The description on the menu says:

"Vadouvan spiced ox cheek and tongue stew, rice pilaf cooked in ox broth and vadouvan; sunny-side up egg".

Vadouvan is a version of curry.  Rice pilaf means:

"Each grain has to be separate and flavourful, cooked as it is in just enough stock to let it cook fully without getting mushy. So any rice dish which is cooked with meat (with other additions depending on the terrain and culture it belongs to) and where the grains are separate is technically a pilaf/pulao. "

The above description is copied from:

This is how the main dish looks like in the biodegradable plate when I brought it home on wed 26.may.21 and after I removed the cling film wrapper and transparent plate cover.

With the cover and cling film still on.

This is how it looks like after one night in the fridge. The Vadouvan smells like Japanese curry but tastes slightly different, less sweet. I couldn't identify any ox tongue in the dish. Just a few chunky pieces of ox cheek which surprisingly is very tender and tasty. The rice tastes very rich with just the right amount of flavours.

As I don't eat runny egg yolks and he didn't want to eat that egg, I put the sunny side up egg face down on a slice of bread and microwave it until the egg yolk is fully cooked as shown in the photo above: top = before and  bottom = after. I ate the egg on that day, wed itself.
