Today’s post has been written by Not Quite Nigella’s other half, Mr NQN.
The cursing was loud, I could almost hear it from work. The issue? My wife Lorraine (aka NQN) had been invited but was unable go to dinner at Tetsuya’s for a launch of his new Singapore restaurant. Let me introduce myself, I’m Mr NQN. From time to time you’ve read stories about me. I often take the photos here when we eat out although I have have never had the need to write anything. Unfortunately (for her) on this occasion NQN was mortified to find that an invite to Tetsuya’s had never arrived and she only found out when the PR’s for YourSingapore.com followed up to see whether she could come. She had already committed to another event at the same time so I offered to take her place, of course a huge inconvenience to me 
Several years ago we celebrated Lorraine’s birthday at Tetsuya’s. However me being a fan of quantity over quality (something we debate often as NQN likes quality over quantity) the only way she could get me to go along was by paying for my meal ($150 a head at the time). It was many times what I considered normal to pay at a restaurant but I actually really enjoyed the meal and while at the time I wouldn’t have paid that price, over the years and eating out at some rather fine places I think my taste buds have slowly changed and I am closer to accepting quality. But don’t tell her that or we won’t be able to hassle each other about it
Avocado soup with potato ice cream & mountain caviar
I’m not a very regular cook. In fact, I’m pretty much the opposite. It used to be that once every 2 years I’d cook dinner, though, well lets just say that my latest cooking effort is running a long way behind schedule although I’d like to count our time at Chef Saravia’s Peruvian cooking class as one. One year on Valentines day I cooked for Lorraine and I thought I’d make it a bit challenging by making some dishes from her Tetsuya’s book. I thought I’d be clever and only chose the ones that were extremely easy yet would score points The first dish I made (it also made the biggest mess) was an avocado soup which as strange as it sounds was delicious! Tonight we start off with this dish though with some tweaks – it’s an avocado soup with potato ice cream & mountain caviar. This dish is beautiful with a very smooth creamy texture. The potato ice cream (which isn’t your typical ice cream) has a nice soft texture which goes perfectly with the avocado soup. This is topped with mountain caviar, the saltiness balancing the sweetness of the soup very nicely.
Warm salad of Kingfish with Black Bean and Orange
Next in our marathon with matching wines is a beautiful warm salad of kingfish with blackbean & orange. The kingfish is beautiful and nicely accompanied with a black bean and orange sauce.
New Zealand Scampi with Shellfish and Tarragon Sauce
The New Zealand scampi with shellfish & tarragon sauce doesn’t really gel for me. The flavours are enjoyable but perhaps it is the textures messing with my head. I bite into the transparent jelly where I find rather hard bits which I didn’t enjoy.
Confit Petuna Ocean Trout with Konbu, Celery and Apple
While planning the dinner I mentioned cooking earlier, I was looking at doing Tetsuya’s signature dish the confit of petuna ocean trout with fennel salad. I took the easy way out and just made the oysters instead . Tonight we are having his confit of petuna ocean trout with konbu, celery & apple. The ocean trout is sensational and goes very nicely with the fine strips of apple and celery which it sits atop while the apple and celery bring a sweet freshness to the dish.
Cuttlefish with Bean Sprouts, Ink & Botarga
It is about this time that someone on our table does some calculations and announces that if we continue at this rate we will be finished at 1am! I’m not even slightly concerned, if they keep bringing me delicious dishes until 1am then I will be more than happy!
The next dish is cuttlefish with bean sprouts, ink and botarga. The cuttlefish is extremely tender and is perfectly accompanied by the ink, sprouts and botarga.
Grilled Fillet of Barramundi with Braised Wood Ear & Chestnut Mushrooms
We’re starting to get to the slightly more substantial dishes in the 11 courses and next up we have a grilled fillet of barramundi with braised wood ear & chestnut mushrooms. The fish is excellent though the standout for me is the sauce with the braised wood ear and chestnut mushrooms, creating a strong fresh mushroom flavour.
Twice-Cooked De-Boned Spatchcock with Foie Gras
The twice cooked de-boned spatchcock with foie gras I’m sure would be an excellent dish on its own, however I enjoyed the barramundi and particularly the beef (read below) immensely so this dish didn’t blow me away like the beef just by comparison. I think NQN calls this the Marcia/Jan Brady effect (when something perfectly good on its own is preceded by something spectacular rendering it comparatively lesser).
Grass-fed Tasmanian Angus Beef with Swiss Browns & Porcini
Strangely considering my normal love of sashimi and the fact that I prefer fish over beef, I find myself doing a rather good impersonation of NQN and nodding my approval of the grass fed Tasmanian Angus beef with swiss brown mushrooms & porcini. I instantly find myself drawing comparisons to another beef meal I’ve thoroughly enjoyed before… This one is my new best. I find it strange that I should enjoy this dish so much having grown up as a vegetarian (Hi mum!).
Tetsuya Wakuda
During the evening Tetsuya visited each table chatting and answering questions about his new restaurant Waku Ghin opening at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Waku means coming from the earth and Ghin means silver. He tells us that Waku Ghin won’t be a duplicate of Tetsuya’s his Sydney restaurant but more an evolution of his style. The experience is said to be more intimate with 4 private rooms where chefs will prepare dishes in front of guests and a main dining room. He also has a space devoted to his favourite ingredient Caviar – NQN was very excited about this!
Browned Butter Ice Cream and Pear Sorbet, Walnut
The first of the desserts is listed as the cream cheese & fig ice cream with caramelised fig which I was really looking forward to (I’m a bit of a fig fiend), though there is a last minute change and we’re advised that it has been changed to browned butter ice cream & pear sorbet with walnut. I need not have been so worried about missing out on the fig ice cream. The browned butter ice cream most definitely tastes like nutty browned butter and the saltiness is balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the pear sorbet, easily the standout of the deserts for me. I fondly remember the apple sorbet from our previous visit to Tetsuya’s and this is another dish I will most definitely remember.
Cannellini Beans with Mascarpone & Soy Caramel
The cannellini beans with mascarpone & soy caramel is nice though I’m not wowed by this dish as the flavours are possibly a little subtle for my liking. I’m sure I’d be rather happy with this dish in any other restaurant though we’re getting towards the end of the night in which the bar has been raised very high and it came on the back of a sensational dessert dish.
Salted Sable with Lemon Scented Leatherwood Honey
The finale to our 11 courses is the salted sable with lemon scented leatherwood honey. I think NQN would have loved this dish though unfortunately for her I am not carrying this home 
It’s late so I quickly devour this and follow my fellow diners outside braving the cold.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my guest post, my food memory isn’t quite as good as Lorraine’s so I hope you’ll forgive this minor interruption, back to normal programming tomorrow. The dinner I mentioned where I cooked some Tetsuya’s dishes was actually when I proposed to Lorraine. I hid my nervousness really well with the cooking and caught her completely by surprise 
I get to write a question today, so Dear Reader, what is the most memorable meal your significant other has cooked for you?
I dined as a guest of YourSingapore.com

And where was Lorraine? She was speaking on a panel for Media 140 where she spoke with fellow tweeters and friends @figandcherry @gosstronomy @reemski and @bluesjunkie and was interviewed by @julie_posetti.

Well Mr NQN Hauska tutustua!
You did very well representing Lorraine! I am yet to visit Tets’, and maybe my significant other will take me there for my birthday (or I might have to pay him like Lorraine did to you!) because he doesn’t cook. Ever.
Nice post, Mr NQN! Hope to hear from you more often!
Lovely to hear from you Mr NQN – great review – and perhaps many males have similar taste as my other half is a big fan of quantity as well!
Very nice to hear from you Mr. NQN!
I had a boyfriend once make me a pumpkin pie and drop it off early on Thanksgiving. It was no Tesuya’s meal, but still the sweetest food-related gesture a boyfriend has done for me.
Ah, Mr NQN you did a brilliant job and I hope to see you again in a guest post capacity
So many courses, so many flavours – 1am? Who cares!!?
Nice to see you getting some of the fun
Fantastic. I love a husband and wife tag team
Wish I could say the same for mine! Great job on the post. and I might have a better chance of getting a reservation for Tet’s in SG!
Loved the change-up from the norm Mr NQN – you should ask Lorraine for a regular spot!
My most memorable meal is the one my bf cooked on our first date – tuna steak. It was fine, I just don’t like tuna steak so I picked at it a bit then said I was full. This gave him the impression that I ate like a bird. All misconceptions are now cleared and now he knows I don’t like tuna steak and eat like a ravenous hippo
Nice to hear from Mr NQN- good job!!!
My hubbie doesnt cook but will occasionally make me toast when I’m not well.
wow what an interesting (and tasty no doubt) array of foods!!!
I’m jealous. That steak sounds fantastic.
What a treat to hear from Mr NQN! And you did a fantastic job! My other half doesn’t cook. At all. Except instant noodles. Had he prepared that for me to propose, I might never have married him!
Hi Mr NQN, we have heard lots about you. It sounds like the second Tetsuya meal was a complete success! Too bad Lorraine had to miss out. Nice to meet you.
Great job I must say. The food all looks amazing.
Well, to my surprise the elusive Mr.NQN has come to life for all of us today. A descriptive and interesting blog on Tetsuya’s new venture Waku Ghin, you’ve obviously being paying attention to Lorraine when she works. heheh
Such generous portions for a degustation, my favourite dish would probably be the grilled barramundi with wood ear and chestnut mushrooms. I heart mushrooms. For dessert the salted sable.
Sadly for me, my husband doesn’t cook but he does spoil me by taking me out to any restaurant I desire when we eat out.
Morning Mr NQN!
I would have LOVED to have tasted the avocado soup with potato ice cream and the brown buttered ice cream also
What a wonderful night you had 
The most memorable dishes my beau prepared for me would have to be the scones we have every Sunday afternoon together. Nothing is more romantic than the sight of a blokey bloke whipping some cream whilst pulling fresh scones out the oven with a little bit of flour on his nose, hehe. It takes a real man to comfortably make scones, hehe.
Top post, thanks Mr NQN! Hope Lorraine had fun at her do (love the purple shoes!!!)
Well done Mr NQN, how lucky were you to grab this gig. Tetsuya’s would have to be the ultimate in dining, I just love his food and the service in the restaurant is amazing. Well done on the photos and food description my mouth is watering, will have to find an excuse to go back again, thanks for the memories.
Fantastic work Mr NQN! Shame you couldn’t make #media140 as it was an interesting night, but I too would be hard pressed to give up an evening at Tetsuya’s!
The food looks amazing. Definitely another place I will have to take my boyfriend when we go to Sydney.
Great post Mr NQN!
Lucky you to be able to go to the dinner. Hope to see more posts from you in the future! It’s always to nice to read the other half’s thoughts!
That browned butter ice cream looks divine! My lovely husband busted out his first ever rack of lamb this week and it was fantastic!
great post MR NQN!!!!!! you did well, great photos and i love how you add stories on you & lorraine in between food stuff
ooh what a lucky husband! the food looks divine
Hi Mr NQN! Nice to meet you after all this time! Great post too! The beef looks delicious… drool.
My bf cooks almost every night, he loves to so I should let him follow his passion – right? Maybe I’m just hungry hehe
Although he is known for his amazing mains, my favourite would be when he makes us crepes. Once he made caramelized mango cheeks with Chantilly cream filled ones. YUM!
u know what they say, behind every woman…. hahah… nice to see a guest writer! well done mr NQN… hope to see u do more guest writing from time to time….
at mi casa, i cook… wife doesn’t… but she takes good care of me in return, all the time.
What an excellent reason to have to do a guest post. Thanks Mr NQN for giving us such interesting reading.
Fabulous contribution Mr NQN, feel free to write again..lucky you getting to go to Tet’s! My husband thankfully is very good in the kitchen but my fondest memory would be the surprise picnic he packed for our first wedding anniversary – French Chanpagne, Oysters, various cheeses and all of the trimmings, watching the sun go down over Perth, just perfect !
Thank you Mr NQN. Myself and the OH are of to Tets’ tomorrow night and now I’m very excited.
Love yr post Mr NQN! Am going to S’pore in June hopefully we can visit Waku Ghin then! My husabnd cooked 2x in his life for me during our early days of courting but doesn’t really do it much these days
Well Mr.NQN, an excellent entree into food journalism – though I must say that your photos are always superb. I’ve found Tetsuya always starts slow (making you think it might be a call in to Mackers on the way home) but finishes leaving you totally satisfied. Both quality AND quantity. I’m hoping to visit the Singapore restaurant later in the year
Nice to meet you finally. Yes, NQN has rubbed off on you. You did an excellent job. Who’s luckier? You for getting to eat wonderful food she drags you to. Or, is she lucky for having a guy so cooperative to her wishes?
We’ll look forward to some more guest posts.
nice to meet you Mr NQN after all we have heard – I wish my partner could take such photos as you and cook any meal – Lorraine sounds like a lucky woman – and it was so kind of you to take up the meal offer for her – what a guy!
Great story and glad you got to share in the treats!
Most memorable meal that my other half cooked for me..? It would have to be the salmon fillet with stem ginger. I kid you not. He was experimenting. We didn’t eat it…
Hello Mr NQN, what a wonderful husband you must be to take on such a task for your lovely wife! I am sure it was really hard work …)
I’m currently single, so don’t often get meals cooked for me, but on Sundays, clever Mr 9 does a great ham and cheese omelette for breakfast, and serves it to me in bed with a cappacino he has made himself. He’ll make someone a good partner one day …
It’s a shame she could not attend, but it’s nice to know her substitute had a good time and took great pictures. You are a selfless, thoughtful partner
. I hope you both had a wonderful day. Blessings…Mary
Haha awesome! My significant other has told me he can cook frozen chicken pieces, topped with Mac n Cheese and bacon, with a side of frozen garlic bread (something along the lines of that). Its one of the main reasons I don’t let him cook for me ever.
Well done on the guest post Mr NQN, although I feel for Lorraine missing out on that 11 course menu, it looked divine.
My most memorable dish cooked by my husband would be his Beef stroganoff. He cooked this for me the very first night we met(after changing my tire in the rain) and it has been a gesture of romance since in our relationship and something he does cook really well.
Dear Mr NQN,
You should make a regular appearance. I see both you and your wife share the same talent in making people DROOL! And gosh, you’re sooo lucky to be able to eat like this…and have such a gorgeous wife as well!
Bravo, Mr NQN! Loved the write-up, you did a stellar job making us feel as if we were there.
And as soon as I find myself a significant other, I’ll get back to you. (sigh)
Better watch out or you’ll put Lorraine out of a job
The best meal my husband cooked for me was the night we started ‘going out’ – he’d been on an Italian cooking course and made Bruschetta, Spinach and Ricotta Canelloni and Tiramasu (amazing!) along with a 14 year old bottle of red (the smoothest I’ve ever tried). Well I ended up marrying nearly 3 years ago however unfortunately I seem to have done most of the cooking since!
I agree with some others. I too think that Mr NQN should make a regular appearance. I really enjoyed reading your post!
This makes me wonder whether I should try to book myself into Tetsuya’s Sg restaurant when I go home.. Mmm.
Looks wonderful – how lucky of you to be flown to Singapore for the event!
My most significant meal was a breakfast my then boyfriend (now husband!) made for me. Scrambled eggs and my favourite bacon. He proposed after breakfast..
I enjoyed your post very much. My husband has never cooked for me (barbies don’t count!) in fact the only reason he knows where the kitchen is would be that the beers are kept in the fridge!
I really enjoyable post. You should totally commandeer NQN’s blog. This meal looks fantastic and reaffirms my desire to dine at Tetsuya’s.
Great post Mr NQN. Nice to hear from you. Mark @ Cafe Campana, no need to be rude to the hostess.
Kudos to both NQN and Mr. NQN for this post! It made for some seriously scrumptious reading.
(Alas, speaking as a poor, unfortunate singleton, I don’t have a better half to cook for me. Plus, my exes were all hopeless lads in the kitchen!
)
Wow! well done Mr NQN! I can’t wait to come home and head down to Tetsuya’s. And as far as a memorable meal by a significant other….lets just say I’m still waiting.
great post, mr nqn–you should guest-write more often! i’m intrigued by the idea of cannellini beans for dessert–this bean-lover has certainly never heard of such a thing.
Hi Mr NQN, Great post,I’m not sure my husband could have described the food the way you did,so great job.Lucky you to have gone to this dinner,what a dream.My husband once made me a lamb dish with vegetables,as a surprise after going away.It was simple yet well cooked & tasty.
Excellent post, Mr. NQN! Hope to hear from you again soon!
Being a dessert-lover, I am intrigued by the Browned Butter Ice Cream and Pear Sorbet. Looks divine!
i think your posts should become a regular gig (if you can call it that!). Not to say that NQN doesn’t do a fabulous job on her own, but it’s great to mix it up! you guys are too cute
Nice write-up Mr. NQN. Think I can see at least one reason why you and NQN connect. My husband likes to cook, although I tend to do it more because of our schedules and commitments. He always surprises me, and there’s some healthy competition generated by our kids, as to who cooks the best! He recently made Chicken Makhanwala, which was awesome. My favorite dish to date was pork with an onion and red wine sauce. Think it tasted especially good because we were in France at the time. I think location can be important too.
Mr NQN you did very well…I am drooling and it is 11.30pm and I’ve already had dinner♥x
Nice to meet you Mr NQN. What an excellent feature. If you and Lorraine can’t make it to a similar event next time, you have my email address
How lucky and good job, Mr. NQN… though I do wish Lorraine would have been here then, we could meet…
Wow, how lucky you are! Looks like you experienced quality AND quantity!
Good for you Mr. NQN! Great post!
The most memorable meal that my husband made for me was YEARS ago(before we were married)…eggs benedict. It was very tasty, but he hasn’t made it since! The culinary memory that’s closer to my heart is when we were just friends and he made me some “ginger sparkle” cookies. They were slightly on the burnt side, but he was so excited to give them to me that it melted my heart. It’s now one of my favorite things to bake:)
How lovely of your hubby to contribue to your blog, and what a great job he did. Mine wouldn’t LOL… bad hubby, bad.
Amazing looking food.
*kisses* HH
Great write up and a nice meal! I would love to try the browned butter ice cream!
Well done Mr. NQN! We’ll never give up our Lorraine but a change is as good as a holiday, right?
Ohhh, what a sweet way to propose! Lovely guest post…Mr. NQN not only are you a fabulous photographer, but you’re a fabulous writer as well! The beef dish with swiss browns and porcini looks divine.
Lucky you… Mr NQN (oops! I almost wrote your real name!). Great first article, fingers crossed Lorraine lets you write a few more
Hi MR NQN, it’s lovely to meet you.
Nice review and what a wonderful way to propose.
I wish my significant other would cook for me once (apart from instant noodle that is hahaha).
Hope you’ll do more review in the future !!!

Taiko Tari: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, will try to write again though don’t hold your breath, it’ll probably be a while!
Great writing Mr.NQN! I remember that once in your life you had a job writing about sailing competitions. Your current talent in writing is amazing because as a schoolboy you caused worry to your teachers and parents by totally refusing to use commas and full stops, until finally university forced you to compromise this… Yes, your mum hoped you to be vegetarian but you like everyone else is responsible and has a choice whatever they do and eat during their lives…
Mr NQN! Hello to you good sir! May I congratulate you on your excellent wife-finding skills!
Great write-up too, though I confess I got a little distracted by the ocean trout.
No wonder you fell in love with the beef, it looks divine. I’d love to try that butter ice cream too, yum!
My hubby’s meals are generally ‘something’ & chips but he did once bake me a muffin cake for my birthday
great post. well done. it would have been an amazing experience to be invited to the The Launch of Waku Ghin. hopefully in the future it will become a reality again for NQN and NNQN (Not Not Quite Nigella)
I am booked to go to Waku Ghin at the Marina Sands in a couple of weeks.
Looks good, though it is about $450 for the degustation!
