It was fun-er than expected... though it ended really late....Anyways, I teamed up with only Gerald for the whole cooking lesson thingy, though there were ideally supposed to be a 4-man group. Pros: We get to eat MORE!!! :) Con: We have to work MORE!!! :(First. there was this napkin folding excercise. McDonalds (such a stupid name... did he give the name to himself?!?!?) was in charge of this part of the lesson. Rather ok but it made us look like waiter undergraduates. NEWSFLASH: I don't usually serve, I AM served!!! lol, jst jkingThen, there was this Thai chef who thought as fruit carving: he made us do a rose (tomato skin), leaves (pear & carrot). He made many jokes during the lesson which NO ONE could understand... seriously... but I don't blame him, after all English isn't his first language. Gerald & I obviously slaked. We only made 1 rose, 3 carrots and 2 pears... :PThen the most exciting yet stressful part came, when we had to cook our own lunch!!! I mean, if we screwed this up, then we would have to go hungry..:( (and I usually get cranky when I'm hungry)Anyways, the recipe for the day was chicken, mash potato, Thai-style 'popiah', and some syrup for the ice cream.So we started chopping all the spices... actualy it was mostly done by Gerald to be exact. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not chop them down to a small enough size... But my job was worse... I HAD TO MASSAGE (YES, M-A-S-S-A-G-E) THE FREAKING DEAD CHICKEN WITH SOY SAUCE AND STUFF!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXO *screaming my lungs out!* It was sooooooo grossssss.... and pervertic too.... And the chicken was sooooo cold that my hands were FREEZING! Brrrr!Then we did the syrup thingy by randomly tossing the ingredients into the boiling water and waiting for it to crytallise. Meanwhile, we did the 'popiah' by cutting all the vegies into matchsticks and arranging them onto the 'popiah' skin. It tasted HORRIBLE by the way!LAstly, we had mash potatoes. Gerald kept adding sugar to the mash potato while I kept adding pepper. So what do you get when you put a sugar-addict and a pepper-addict together? Not PowerPuff Girls but really tasty mash potatoes!!! :) And of course the most enjoyable part was the eating where we (moi & Gerald) had the privilege of devouring a 4-servings meal!!! Yummy Yum Yum!!! P.S. Lemon grass drink tastes OK but smells like LEMON SHAMPOO! Major ewww... XP
