Japan and Lands of the Far East

Noodle Cook took off the chef's hat for a couple of weeks of holidays, touring and cruising on board the luxurious "Sapphire Princess", from Japan, to Russia, then South Korea and finally, China.

Life on board the ship was boring with limited internet access since John (the villain in this blog) kept watch to make sure Noodle Cook didn't blow the pennies on non-essentials like emails. At US$0.35 per minute, shipboard internet came at a king's ransom.

What was there left to do? Eat all day long, thanks to 24-hour "Anytime" dining! The ship's kitchens catered for two and a half thousand passengers of many cultural backgrounds.

Here are some show pieces from the ship's main kitchen:

Fruit carving....

Butter sculpture....

Icing craft....

Icing cragt

Look at the attention to details! The cubs even have eye lashes.

About this Restaurant

"An Electronic Restaurant" is a food blog that records the thrills and spills of restaurant ownership by an electronic persona, the comical, 2-minute Noodle Cook, self proclaimed electronic Masterchef, who came into existence to fulfill an individual's dream of owning a restaurant.

This electronic restaurant serves good food, with the help of digital technology like Photoshop. At this electronic restaurant, you will find recipes and menu dishes, interwoven with partly fictitious, over-dramatized stories, somewhat like a mini-series starring family members and friends.

This blog started in 2005 with Paper Chef Challenges, the gruelling Iron Chef competition for the internet savvy chef. In 2009, the 2-minute Noodle Cook walked out of this blog for 2 whole days and became real in the Masterchef 2009 auditions, eerily, unintentionally, mimicking the blunders often recorded in the blog.

A big part of this website is of a creative writing nature and should be read as such. Photographs on the site are protected by Creative Common License. In essence give credit to the 2-minute Noodle Cook when due, and do not attempt to make money using other people's work, or derivative of, without their consent.
