MICROTEACHING 6

Microteaching 6 was special to me becuase it was my team and I who did the teaching. And we also had to make a cake to symbolise the final microteaching session by baking a "birthday" cake which was done beautifully by every group.

The theme was ORIENTAL EXPRESS.

The Dishes were:

• Lontong
• Angku Kueh
• Vadai and Coriandar Chutney
• Birthday cake (decorated with mango)

First up,

LONTONG

Done by Absa and sheema. FULL OF FLAVOUR. YUMMY!!!

ANGKU KUEH

Done by Jia Li and Laura. I have never tried angku kueh before this. I always thought the filling would be overwhelming but Jia li and laura changed my opinion and let's just say "never judge a book by its cover".

VADAI AND CORIANDAR CHUTNEY

Done by me. Okay, so i am not goin to compliment my own dish but according to what others say, it was good. I am glad that you guys liked it.

AND FINALLY,

"BIRTHDAY CAKE"

There is only one word to describe this "BEAUTIFUL".

Thanks to all my classmates who were supportive, hope you had fun and enjoyed all the food!!!!

Thanks to my team who never gave up till we got it right.

Thanks Si Ni for your photos.

THANKS EVERYBODY!!!

MICROTEACHING 5

SEAFOOD

Today's dishes are:

• Sweet and sour Crab
• Grilled Fish in Banana leaf
• Tempura prawns

The most memorable part of this Microteaching was the techniques involved in particular the gutting of fish and shelling of the crab. The last time i remember gutting a fish was in Secondary school and i was reminded that it was not a pleasant experience.


First up:

Grilled Fish in Banana leaf

The best thing i took home from this was the gutting of the fish. I was so proud of myself, cause i would have never in a million years done that on a voluntary basis.

Tempura Prawns

The prawns look fantastic huh!! I really wanted to eat it, but i am allergic to prawns. Oh yeah, saw the garnish, Sheema did an excellent job. That was one of the skills taught to us (creating a fan garnish - Japanese)

Sweet and sour crab

Sheema busy cooking the crab.

You would think that this took like hours and hours to cook? NOPE! It took less than an hour was really simple. My take home skill was the shelling of the crab. Never done it before, it was actually easy to do.

I learnt alot and had fun at the same time.

THANK YOU GROUP 5

Today's dishes are ......................

• Garden Veggie Wrap

• Broccoli with leek and mushroom cheese soup

Absa hard at work, try to fill the muffin cases

TA DA

Bottom Left: Carrot cake muffin.
The cake was moist and it bursts with flavour. The plus point of this muffin you cannot taste the carrots and this is important because one of my friends doesn't like to eat carrot but she loves cakes and she always wanted to taste a carrot cake. I am so gonna bake this for her.

Top middle of the picture: Broccoli with leek and mushroom cheese soup
Creamy and cheesy at the same time and my favourite vegetable Broccoli.
What more can you ask for?

Bottom Right: Garden Veggie Wrap
Skill for the day was learning how to parboil cabbage to perfection. Not sure whether i will be able to do it but it did look easy. The filling was Yummy.

At the sides of the Broccoli with leek and mushroom cheese soup: Fruit trifle
YUP!!! Strawberries, peaches, pudding and carrot cake. All in one dish, seriously!!! It was great.

THANK YOU GROUP 3.

VEGETARIAN COOKING

My outlook on vegetarian dishes has been changed. I always thought vegetarian cooking was dull and booorrrring cause only vegetables are used. Seriously, how interesting could the dishes get, right?

Take a look at these photos and maybe you might change your mind too!!!

Top Left corner: Vegetarian pizza with a pesto base.

Top right corner: Sambal Goreng. If you are a fan of tofu and beans, this is the dish you need to try.

Centre: Orange jelly (My Favourite). The jelly was full of orange flavour(freshly squeezed) but most importantly the presentation.

CHECK IT OUT!!!!

The jelly is on the orange peel. We had to carve out the orange pulp and fill it up with orange jelly. 

COOL HUH!!!!!

****** MUST TRY DISH********

MICROTEACHING 2

Today's Menu:

• Baked Chicken Sambal
• Chakchouka
• Mutton Masala

BAKED CHICKEN SAMBAL.
Two words: Spicy and Yummy.

CHAKCHOUKA
Once i first saw this name, i expected the dish to be difficult to make but actually it was easy and really interesting to make. Especially when the eggs were poached while cooking the minced chicken. That was my 'take home' skill.

MUTTON MASALA
I am not a fan of mutton but the gravy was creamy and little sour and i liked it cause i like sour food. I know i have weird taste buds.

All the dishes were great.

THANK YOU GROUP 2
