pi-pu pi-pu... A message from Teo asking me why today I am so late today. Oh my goodness... I am still lying on the bed while I suppose to be on my way to college. It is weird because I had set 3 alarm alerts whereby I used to wake by 1. And I slept at 11pm yesterday.
Today happened to be just like last time. Everyone is bugging the recipe founder on how the dish should be done. By the way, we are also first time doing this recipe. When we are asked about this and that, we are only answering using our instincts. Why don't you try use yours? Be confident enough to do what you think is right and change it if you think it is necessary. Later or sooner you will be one of the world's greatest chef right?
Come back to the gan cheong part... Today we have 2 starters and 2 main courses. Everything turned out as planned. I am very happy that the recipes work well. This the best thing happened to me in a whole down-week.

Grilled asparagus with bacon

Cold cucumber and yogurt soup

Cereal-crusted chicken with tangy pineapple sauce served with herbed rice and broccoli almondine

Fish and spinach lasagna

The gan cheong-ness does not end here. We got a lucky draw to determine our final practical exam question. I team up with Johnson and Meldy. So 3 of us are going to prepare 3 starters and 3 main courses in 3 hours. These are our questions:
VIVIEN'S:
  • Caesar salad
  • Fish Florentine
  • Anna Potatoes
  • Vichy carrots and sauteed french beans

MELDY'S:

  • Seafood chowder
  • Roasted chicken with orange sauce
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Vichy carrots and sauteed french beans

JOHNSON'S:

  • Scotch egg
  • Rack of lamb with rosemary and glaze shallot sauce
  • Mashed sweet potatoes
  • Carrots, broccoli and red capsicum

Meldy's and my questions are still okay. Just that we all hate the unfrenched rack of lamb. Anyway we are going to practise at Meldy's place on Thurs. Hope everything turns out well. God bless me. Haha...
