Asparagus Pizza

All the kinds of cheeses in the house, romano, parmesan, cheddar, 4% allegro, mozzarella and some veggies wedged in there for more goodness…asparagus and slices of zucchini.

Vegged Out

Chef Bento’s Seaweed Salad made with seaweed, agar agar, black fungus red chilli pepper. And we had other things including virgin greek olive oil and french baguette, boiled spagetti squash with a grill of fresh parmesan over it and to the right a boil-up of eggplant and parsnip.

Slippery Egg Noodles

The egg noodles beside the peas get some flavor from frying onion and sesame seeds and tossing them with sesame dressing. It made them slippery but tasty.
