Got some lovely large lobster tails from a roadside van. Poached them in
butter (I long for a temperature-regulated poacher!) and served with yuzu
and ketjap manis over a bed of pea tendrils and garnished on the side with
avocado slices.

Started out with a pureed soup of garlic and fava beans, side dishes were
steamed choy sum and miso-pickled cucumbers, and we finished with a trifle
made from yellow cake, vanilla custard, poached loquats, almonds, and
whipped cream.

I got a wonderful "reward" later: I give *him* ten points out of ten -- all
three times! <giggle!>
