I went out ok.. I am not emo..

I went out with Obala, Ogareth and Oduck the other day for some discussions about an unfortunate trip that has to be cancelled due to some 'face problem' we had to encounter..
Firstly, I went down to MPH to look for our world map as my bedroom wall is empty and my friends are scattered all around the world.. Apala, I am still stucked in Malaysia.. Anyway, Penang is actually very awesome.. Okay about the world map.. I did not buy it actually.. Found out the price is too expansive maybe I will save up and get a globe instead..

It was already 1pm and my friends did not call me so I overjoyed looking at some books in the cookery shelves.. Later on, I reloaded my dead mobile phone and started messaging them.. They were actually waiting for me in Mega Q.. BUT, I was earlier than Oduck..

So, we had lunch in Nandos and was supposed to order the Family Set.. Our lawyer calculated the price and it was not worth buying so we had our invidual a la carte dish.. I took the Nandos and Fitness First promo set.. Do you know what happened?

The kind waitress was unsure about the promo.. Guess I was the first customer who showed them the blue membership card.. What? Got listen to Hitz. Fm bo?
Then she started walking down the restaurant and (i don't know what happened) she came up with a smile and say 'ya kami ada promotion ini'



Yes, I had this 1/4 chicken with 2 fixed sidelines (grilled vegetables inclusive of zucchini, egg plant, mushroom and capsicum with some buttered rice)
And not forgotten, a cup of bottomless Coke Light..
RM14.90++

It actually means they only give u free drinks loh if you are a FF member.. Not Bad what..

Wah, gym members also got privilages in eating chicken..
And yes I saw this banner, Celebriti Fitness has some collaborations with Cold Storage.. Don't pray pray.. Maybe the phrase 'you are what you eat' is really true and was proven million years ago..

So after makan, we met some friends in Watson or was it Guardian as our lawyer wanted to buy some clay.. I showed him the magic clay I hope he likes it cause it costs about RM22..

Finally, we watched 'Jump', went to toilet, and then off to Island Plaza for another brand new journey..

Saturday, December 05, 2009

Hey there ;)
This is one of the nothing-to-do Saturday in the month of December..
1 week past already since holiday started.. Im still stuck here doing nothing.. Maybe when we grow older we have shorter 'want-to-do-list' right?
I have no plans up my head but just to attend all RPM classes in the gym..
This Saturday is a little bit different, I did not go home straight away after gym but went for a haircut in the indian barber.. My head is like a ball after going bald lahh..
Next, my friend called and he wanted to follow my brother and I to New World Park as we promised my coursemate to see her performances.. She's a drummer ;)
The even is hosted by 'The Realm Church' and the SPCA..


First of all, we had dinner in 'All Right' western food cafe.. The beef is Good.. The owner is my friend, wei ren's uncle.. And, the stall is located in Yellow House or the Famous Hainan Lor Mee which is at Pulau Tikus or Mein Kwok father's kopitiam for friends who know them..

Minute Beef.. Tender and has the Asian taste where there are sauteed onion accompaning the beef.. Yum Yum..

Later on, we went over to NWP for the 'Christmas Presentation' by The Realm members.. We were early so we played with the dogs from SPCA..

The Bulldog! Lol..

French Bulldog..

And there is a wood carving shop, OHL newly opened in NWP! The owner Mr. OHL had won so many prizes, even in the Salon Gastronomique for Butter and Ice carving.. Kudos!
He should replace our lecturer I tell you..

Sir Francis Light statue.. Hand carved.. Peace!

And finally the event, I forgot to take the pictures as I was drowned by their superb performances, carols and band..
Heh.. What a day..

Later on, we went over to QB to check out fitness concept as yeang said obala couldn't make it to sunset.. Jeff messaged and said he was at Hammer's so we pay him and his family a visit.. Hehe..

What a day.. Lolz.. My next outing should be the Pantai Jerjak trip.. Signing off..

Food Production 2 Exam

We were given 2 hours to complete 2 plate per 4 course set.. The ingredients given is black box so we are supposed to be prepared if not precious time will be lost during the first few minutes of planning..
We were given beef and sea bass.. Our group planned to take up sea bass as none of us were great cook of beef.. If I tell you I am a professional chef student and I never cook beef and lamb last semester don't laugh at me okay? Cause Group B people are less fortunate I don't want to mention it anymore..

So we used up the 2 hours and then produce our stuffs..


Appetizer by YY.. Chicken fingers with fresh vegetables and herb vinaigrette..

Soup by myself.. Cream of Cauliflower and corn served with chicken dumpling..

Pan fried Sea Bass with cheezy mash pumpkin and blanched vegetables served with tomato pronto and coriander salsa.. By Reese.. Won the Best Entree..

Finally, our dessert.. Egg custard tart with sponge cake and dragon cubes..
By our one and only Soon Keat aka Edison Chen.. Heih Heih..

Bakery Exam Done!

Finally, all the exams are over.. Bakery is the last one which took place on last Thursday..
So, 2009 freedom belongs to us! Well,we have less kitchen/ practical class next year till cooking in the 'le cafe' so stay tuned if you guys want to eat what we cook in KDU..
So here are my bakery product, the PITA BREAD with FILLINGS..
We only exam on 1 product as we don't have much time as this Semester ends is so ******* pack with almost everything..

Then on exam date, we even have to start exam late as our juniors were not done with their products.. When they send their products for grading, we have to clean their stations before we can start our own.. See, pack semester to everyone..


This is my presentation.. Simple, Storeroom was locked so use items which are found in the kitchen only.. Hehe.. I even polished the mixer okay?

The bread.. Can be done easily but got to keep the steps properely or the pita wont rise and creat a pocket..

I made some stuffings with the left-over chicken cubes and vegetables which are not used in Penang Bridge Marathon catering..
Egg mayo, chicken fingers, some lettuces, carrot and onion rings..

The final garnished plate..

Tadaa.. Pita Bread in 2 hours..

Something FOOD you cannot EAT..

Have you ever heard of 'bread display' or 'bread showpiece' ? Maybe not heard but saw before lahh.. Those are hard bread made from 'salt dough' which u can see them on bakery shops on their display shelves.. For example the one in Cold Storage.. The bread is actually so hard it is not possible for you to eat but admire and sample of specialty breads all around the world..

As a Professional Chef student of KDU college, I would like to share some of our products lah.. We are actually the first group in this semester to finish up the bread showpiece.. So this is one of the topic in the subject Culinary Arts and Design.. Futhermore, bread display will determine our marks in the subject.. Our lecturer screwed us all in Butter Sculpture..

12 hours were given for us to complete the project.. We are allowed to plan out display and later on approved by our chefs..

4 of us who got no experience in handling the dough.. As first timer we did good job already lor.. Really pray hard to get good grades if not the CAD subject comfirm kena screwed..


The 4 and the master ;)
YY(The silver medalist, hot cooking), Gareth our lawyer, Me as the engineer and Reese as the man behind the scene..

Stick stick the most fragile part.. Klef Treble or Treble klef? Someone google for me pls..

Lawyer on the move.. Can stick okay, don't pray pray..

Our ANCHOR! Strong lehh..

There you go..

Ship back.. Got windows okay?

The view from the back is better looking when captured with camera phone..

Tadaa.. HMS DESSERT aka THONG SUI inverted of my name ;)

Chefs also creative okay.. Not only on the plate..

Now pray hard for me to go through next week..
Sat : Penang Bridge Run Cooking under Chef Darren
Mon: KMD last check
Tuesday: KMD Final Presentation ( If this 1 screwed, KMD screwed!)
Wed: Hot Cooking Exam, Black Box! - 4 course, 2 plate per dish - 2 hours - 4 heroes

God Bless us all..

BUT the hard work does pay its price.. I got the sauce recipe from my friend who is also a SHTCA 'silver medalist' in hot cooking catagory.. Yeah he love this tag!
Sauce is prepared with [saute chopped shallot(2), garlic(1), mix herbs, fresh orange peel/ orange chutney, carrot cubes], water, HP sauce, LP sauce, Maggi chili sauce and finally red onion.. The arrangement is the steps to follow..
