About two years back I developed a recipe for bacon and egg risotto for my cookbook, Bachelor's Banquet. and I have been lucky enough for the recipe to be recreated by various influential bloggers online! So this year I decided to upgrade the recipe and add a fresh new twist to the dish. lemon zest and a truffle bread crumb mixture to add that extra crunch to the overall dish.

I can honestly say that this dish is one of my few dishes which are close to being perfected, so many chefs think they have 'perfect' dishes which cannot be improved... I disagree, unless it appears in some kind of historical document a dish will still have a long way to go. So without further ado here's a video presentation of my Bacon & Egg Risotto 2012 with special guest Model DJ, Nicole Chen!
