It is amazing that when in the right hands, a humble piece of fruit or vegetable can be transformed in to a piece of art.
Daikon and Carrots.

At the restaurant we don’t garnish our dishes with fruit carvings unlike other Asian restaurants, but when former Laocook member Phaitoon popped over for a visit, we couldn’t help ourselves and decided to enlist him to create some centre pieces for our tables.
Fruit Carving is an art and it takes a huge amount of practice and patience to create such wonderful looking pieces.
Phaitoon happily donned on a cooks jacket and armed with a small knife he set to work through our Fruit and Vegetable fridge.
Not content with Melons, Daikon and Carrots he started on our Pumpkins.
