Yan Can Cook, So Can You!!!

Today supposed to be Monday Blues. However, I felt quite energetic instead. Amanda and I wanted to do our powerpoint, so we brought along our laptops. Suddenly, our supervising teacher told us to help the kitchen helper to prepare the ingredients for the next class.

So off we went to the kitchen and started to get busy. I wrote the recipe on the board while Amanda opened the cans of pineapples. Later on we brought out all the ingredients to the centre front. We were very busy for the first time. We had to make sure that we put every ingredient on the table. Then the kitchen helper started to boil the potatoes for the salad as well. These students are so lucky. Most of the things were done for them.





Today's menu consisted of Pineapple Fried Rice, Vegetable and Fruit Salad and Orange Juice.









Amanda and I had to present the food for the students to see. We must train them to make their meals look attractive and presentable. Haha. I must admit that the food that we cooked were not that fantastic but still we ate them for lunch. Hehe. No choice as we had to follow the textbook's recipe. Another thing is that this school is using induction cooker which means no stove. It was quite difficult to cook actually. You couldn't possibly cook the food fast.

We had to cook for our share and help the students at the same time if they needed some assistance. Actually it was nice to have this class. At least they would try and talk to you, some would joke around with you and some would smile at you. It makes the class more lively.

After the practical, Amanda and I went back to staff room to get some things, then another Homec teacher told us that we smell of food. Haha. That's how bad we actually smell. We also saw boxes on each of everyone's table. It was a cake given by one of the teachers. Her daughter turns one month old.



So at least at the end of the day, we did cook some food for ourselves and we get to bring home free cake! Haha =)
