Carrot net
LES BLOXHAM
By
Guests who dine in the superb Chinese restaurant at the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, will more than likely find a delicate orange-coloured net draped over their fish course — a net meticulously carved from a carrot. Highly skilled chefs have got the net-making down to a fine. art. A few quick nicks with a chopper and a knife around a piece of carrot about 80mm long; a brief soak in brine; and the net can be unwound. The net adds an exquisite touch to the Chinese custom of serving whole fish.
