Thanks Ratman... yes, I am a bit worried about the potential for disaster based on the environment. I have been going through the utensils and pots and pans in the apartment and there are a few things missing (not to mention the fact I have no oven, dammit!). I think I am going to have to go out and buy a good set of knives and a good grilling pan.
The fresh fruit is always a good suggestion. I think I am going to try the mousse but also serve it with some fruit. I will make the mousse earlier in the day (it has to chill after all) and if it fails, I will fall back on just the fruit.
As for it being a "special" occasion... it's just a couple of ex-pats making the best of being in a new place while everyone else is either out of town or celebrating with their families. The only thing special about it is that I am cooking, something I have been itching to do for some time.
This is my first Singapore dinner party (even if it's only for two) and I want it to go smoothly (I am expecting disaster but at least I can learn what my kitchen can do so when I have to do this for a larger group I will be more prepared).
Where in Japan are you?
