So yesterday the crew, minus one, but plus one, delivered on ChillaxBBQ @ SpaceMatrix 17th Birthday Party. What a cracker it was – I think. Attacked all night by mosquitos, blistering heat, 75 pax and all all that – but we rode it well. Truly great food went out. Seriously very good food went out. Let’s have some thank you’s;
Funny but these guys just did our office fit out for FWOW, and a damned good job of it too. Here is Space Matrix.
AlaskaGuys– holy shit amazing 5Kg Halibut. AKA Hally, or prime rib of the sea, and superb black prawns – WOW! You have to get in to this place guys, the fish produce is just incredible. Watch the reviews from the event.
Alternative.sg – Tomas to die for, pork belly cracker, chicken so so good and sausages incredible.
ExPate – legendary chicken liver pate and onion jam – BOOM!

Do not underestimate the need for prep time – the boys the night before. Get that marinade in to everything guys!That is one full oven, more to come! It’s reverse searing time!That is one big bastard halibut, of Hally more affectionally known in Alaska – and yes that is where it is from.Baked bacon, dried chili and bacon bits. Drop that on some vanilla ice cream, add a little maple syrup and there is ChillaxBBQ dessert. Sweet!No BS – this is what we have to take every gig. OK a lot of PAX this time, but how insane is this amount. I think we need a bigger boat!Our venue for the night – a very cool place at Phoenix Park, up near Holland Village.
