My old friend Sunny invited several good friends to hold an Italian Seafood Feast in his home at noon on New Year day. This time I Chef Kar was invited to be the Head Chef. I was responsible to design the menu, bought ingredients and prepared the meals for this feast.

Buridda Ligurian Seafood Soup is originated from Liguria , the northern region of Italy. Its main ingredients are various seafoods, lobster seafood soup, tomatoes, onions, garlic. Very fresh, fragrant and delicious.

Caponata is the egg plant salad of Sicily, Italy. Main ingredients are egg plants, celeries, red bell pepper, red onions, Italian parsley, sugar, white grape wine vinegar, olive oil, black olives, capers. Sweet and sour; appetizing and yummy.
▲ Ciabatta Italian Bread
Ciabatta is an Italian white bread made from wheat flour, water, salt, yeast and olive oil, created in 1982 by a baker in Adria, province of Rovigo, Veneto, Italy, in response to the popularity of French baguettes. Arnaldo Cavallari and other bakers in Italy were concerned by the popularity of sandwiches made from baguettes imported from France, which were endangering their businesses, and so set about trying to create an Italian alternative with which to make sandwiches. The recipe for ciabatta came about after several weeks of trying variations of traditional bread recipes and consists of a soft, wet dough made with high gluten flour.
Ciabatta is somewhat elongated, broad, and flat, and is baked in many variations, although unique for its alveolar holes. Ciabatta is made with a strong flour and uses a very high hydration dough.
While panino indicates any kind of sandwich regardless of the bread used, whether slices or a bun, a toasted sandwich made from small loaves of ciabatta are known as panini (plural of panino) outside Italy.
Ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, water
