I’ve been so busy these couple of weeks with my exams (which I’ve just finished Tuesday), and also with organising the degustation dinner for Fu Restaurant in Perth, Northbridge! First of all, what the heck does “Degustation” mean? I didn’t actually find out for myself until that very night and had a Wandering Gormet explain it to me. To put it quite simply, degustation means a little bit of quite a few of the yummy stuff the chef prepares just for you, which in turn allows you to taste a variety of food in one sitting… hrmm, that still sounds confusing eh? =)

Penneigh from WanderingGormet.net already wrote a great review of the dinner at Fu Restaurant in Perth (click here to read the article) so I won’t go into any details. There’s also some really great photos of the food served as well as the premises found on flickr thanks to WanderingGormet.net

The event turned out quite nicely even with the few hiccups and late comers. I’m even happy to say that I may have been the thorn and cause of great stress to the dear Mr Foo on that eventful night! That’s not to say he didn’t give me a few extra frown lines either, the 10 dishes somehow turned into 12 and the order on the menu was not adhered to! Just as we learn in good ol’ Marketing: “Garbage in, Garbage out“, meaning your results are as good as the data you enter. So in this case, the data might not be as reliable when the respondents are confused about what dish is what….

To be honest, I didn’t know how the whole thing would turn out and was a bit uneasy, not only because of all the tension I could feel rolling off Mr Foo either. Now that the event is all over with and people parted with smiles and a full tummy, I’m sure that next time I’m in a similar situation things will run much smoother. I’ll also know that no matter how much planning is put in, something will not go according to plan!

Thanks again to all those who attended and filled in the survey!~

Fu (富) Restaurant

Let’s take a sneak peek, behind the scenes of Fu (富) Restaurant in Perth, Northbridge. I finally got my paws on the pre-opening photos of the place which I wasn’t allowed to post until after the opening. Makes a lot more sense when you see the vast numbers of people jumping around the newspaper covered windows in an attempt to score a peek of the interior.

When I went away last year to Beijing, I was really disappointed that I wouldn’t be able to go to the Grand Opening of Fu Restaurant in Northbridge. But as fate would have it, unluckily for Mr Foo, delays pushed the opening until yesterday night! Although the official Grand Opening won’t be until next month, I figured it is as good time as any to go and try out the ‘Fu (富) fusion experience‘ before it gets busier with more people discovering the place!

I’ve been to Fu a few times before it actually opened the doors and was impressed by the spiffy looking décor. I just love the water feature and the bar/lounge feel of the place!

Since I was lucky enough to actually test taste a few goodies, and Mr Foo’s description of the meals provoked my curiosity, I was excited to find out more! I’m not exactly sure if I’ve ever been to an official Fusion restaurant before, a lot of the nicer restaurants around Malaysia have been attempting to mix a bit of West into their experience but the food has always been very much either Asian or Western. So now it was my chance to try out FFF (Fu’s Fusion Food – sorry, my lame-self just couldn’t resist)!

Our initial table for 4 ended up being a table for 8, this was pretty handy because it meant that we could taste test more of the items on the menu! Unfortunately we were a little too ambitious, we didn’t realise the Tapa’s and Mains had decent sized servings and ended up stuffing ourselves! What can I say, the food was just too YUM to resist! =P

I’ve taken down photos of the dishes because the presentation of the meals has since changed. It looks more aesthetic now =)

Seriously though, I’ll be going to Fu 富 a lot more because I plan to try everything on the menu! hAHa funny thing is, that might be the only way I get to see more of Mr Foo since he’s a busy little bee with this new opening =D

Once again, a HUGE Congratulations to Mr Chung Foo! You’ve done an amazing job!!
