Marisa Knibbs 23rd Birthday Glamping ChillaxBBQ
Glamping on East Coast Park with ChillaxBBQ PTE Ltd’s (did you see the other post?) first official event as a newly incorporated Company, was for our great mate. Marisa Knibbs 23rd Birthday Glamping ChillaxBBQ. I cannot believe she has reached the heady heights of being 23!!! What a giggle this was. A light-touch from ChillaxBBQ today, with just The Beard and Frankie Goes To OllieWood. But it was different. Different, as in, something like 10 new dishes on offer today. Also 1st time ever doing something East Coast with Glamping, which is bloody brilliant by the way as you will see. So lot’s of 1st’s, but hopefully with a usual quality output or two from the menu.
WHAT TO DO THIS WEEKEND SINGAPORE?
Glamping by the way is glamorous camping, and you will see this from the photos. Quality.
Thanks out to our mates at The Cheese Shop @ Joo Chiat – fondue was legendary, and this time I even remembered to take a photo. Our new bit of kit, the warmer, made this last hours, and it became the focal point of the party. I kid you not. It was the last item from the cooking kitbag for Marisa Knibbs 23rd Birthday Glamping ChillaxBBQ.

HOLY COW – yeah, when Knibbs asked for a refreshed menu for his loved one’s birthday, one went overboard and delivered 90% net new recipes. And, in my reckoning, most of it was pretty damned good. I just hope the audience might post us a wee commentary, or review.
Here comes the pictorial bit of the post for – Marisa Knibbs 23rd Birthday Glamping ChillaxBBQ. See what I mean.Â
This ain’t camping in a tent in North Downs and Wealds… This truly is Glamping! It’s GENIUS!!!
Sort of a new one. Spicy salami, marinated in honey and lemon juice. Charred and drizzled with the same marinade. Every day of the week this one…
1st signature is up. Slow roast pork belly with Hollandaise, Dijon and Lemon Juice sauce. A fricking BELTER!!!
Jazzing up the kids portions today, we move from ‘vanilla’ sausages to Pigs In Blankets. Thank to Wifey and BeBe for cracking on with these. They turned out just wonderful!!!
Another new one at request from Her Knibbs. Tataki. Yep had to Google it.But holy moly what a cracker this was. Lightly seared sashimi grade tuna, sprinkle of chopped chives and a dressing of Yuzu, Sushi Soy, and Lemon Juice. This was a Chicken Dinner Winner!!! WOW!!! Definitely a new signature…
Another 1st is Frankie Goes to OllieWood on the tolls cleaning up the scallops. Great work and they came out cracking – see them a wee bit later!!!
The ‘lite’ ChillaxBBQ crew today – The Beard and Frankie Goes to OllieWood. Also major thanks to Wifey and BeBe for the prep. Amazing outcomes team… Loving our new ‘urban’ denim look!!! Hell yeah! Must add PTE Ltd to the logo…
Here’s them scallops. Nicely cleaned up by Frankie Goes to OllieWood. Looking good brother. I like a lot! And now plated with sauce and trimmings and all that. Shit yes! How good is that!!!
Chicken gyros. Yes folks. We did kebabs @ a BBQ. It’s how we roll. Be serious how good do these look. And believe me the taste… We had people trying to get pissed real quick to experience the true kebab experience. Love this new dish. It is a cracker on the die die must try radar…
We also did Prawns marinated in Manuka honey, and lemon juice. Wee bit of chili flake, splash lemon juice , SP and your are ON!!! Forgot to photograph these bad boys though…
Saganaki AKA Halloumi cheese. Shallow fried off until charred, and lemon juice squeezed. OMG. Squeaky cheese on steroids. Off the charts good!!! Crappy photo though as now night time, bugger!!!
We’re up there next with a high high grade wagyu. This was steak on another level I tell you. An OMG food moment. Incredible!!! Even if I say so myself. WOW!!!
Out comes the bad boy Tex Mex three cheese fondue. Holy crap. This was ‘RUDE’ as described by Frenchie. And rude it was. Fondue on steroids. Great blend again Chris and team at Cheese Shop @ Joo Chiat. Some chili, coriander, red onion and white wine. An absolute stunner that had the party consolidated and gathered around the pot. It’s a WOW foodie moment!!!
Out come the Tomas x2 – one truffle salt and one sea salt. I tell you, this FLEW off the plates.
Happy days!!! A very nice thank you from Mr Archer for the cooking. It was a cracker of a night – thanks to Marisa and His Knibbs for asking us yet again. Loved every minute. What a class night!!! Luke is praying that someone will ask him to play the guitar again…, Frenchis has dropped his Petanque, and His Knibbs has too much under arm deodorant on clearly…
And now then end is near… Mrs Knibbs hopefully enjoying her birthday BBQ bash, I think you can easily see that she is indeed doing so…
And after a walk home with no shoes, leaving all the ChillaxBBQ gear in Knibbs car, I managed to sleep. Massage today to get the knots out of my legs – much needed. Yep that was one hell of a ChillaxBBQ. Busy busy busy. But Marisa Knibbs 23rd Birthday Glamping ChillaxBBQ was an absolute belter. So many new items on the menu. A real challenge, but that’s how we like it of course.
Again final few thanks to; Wifey & BeBe for the prep at home and helping during the night, Frankie Goes to OllieWood for being on the tools (Leg-End), Cheese Shop @ Joo Chiat for the always amazing blend, Archer for the VERY kind words, and of course Mr and Mrs Knibbs for having us do the foodie. Love you guys all, and thank you for the usual funny fantastic night, and for meeting new faces and old mates too. Hoping you like the blog. Give us a call if you want same – a call away!
