Steamboat
Steamboats refer to a variety of dishes eaten throughout East Asia, where ingredients are cooked in a simmering pot of broth at the table. Typical steamboat ingredients include thinly sliced meat, leafy vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, noodles or seafood. The cooked food is either eaten with a dipping sauce, or sometimes as a soup.

2nd cookery lessons with Sec 3~Bread and butter pudding & Bananas in caramel sauce







In this lesson, students learnt two important food preparation processes. They are dextrinisation as seen in the browning of the bread for the Bread and butter pudding and caramelisation in the caramel sauce. Both dishes are very easy to prepare and I personally enjoyed the Bread and butter pudding most.... :)

1st cookery lesson with Sec 3~Nasi Briyani






The kids made Nasi Briyani for their first lesson, the recipe was taken from their textbook. The kids love the gravy and we had fun garnishing the dish. The dish was really yummy! If only we had more time to make Achar, the dish would have been perfect!! .... :)
