FHM 2011

Soso, as some of you may already knowwww....... Malaysia has an annual competition called the Culianire Malaysia also known as FHM(no idea what it stands for). But yeah, so anyone who is interested to join is welcome to. Taylor's made an opening to all the students here, but not all would get accepted. They have to undergo interviews and if they do get accepted, they have to go through a a series of trainings.

So anyway, not only participants needs to go through interview, even though you just wanna be a commis, you also need to go interview and everything. Plus my final exams are on the competition date. 20 September-23 September 2011. So i chose not to apply. But thenn, one day one of my chef asked me to be a commis for eelynn. Who is joining the competition. So without a doubt i said yes. Cause he chose me, which means i don't even to go through all the interviews.

So yea.... training has started since last week and i have been helping as often as possible. It was very tiring i am not gonna lie, and i have to go back so very late at night. But it was worth it after all. I had fun. LOTSA FUNNN..... Anyway i really wanna post up the pictures but i'm afraid i can't. So yeah..... I'm gonna post it AFTER the competition! See ya then! :D

Menu 6

Few days ago was my kitchen class. Menu was chicken breast for starter and red snapper for main course.

For starter it wasn't stated that we must make a salad. So we made chicken wellington. By we i mean me and Francis by the way. Chicken wellington with a side of salad. Tossed with honey-mustard vinaigrette. Which fyi taste super duper AWESOME! I can't believe it actually taste that good. Our chicken wellington tasted good even though we sent it like 10 minutes late, cause francis was kinda slacking at first. I told him i think you should start cooking the chicken, but he was like nahh that's fine, plenty of time. So yeah.




We were very organised on that day actually. I can feel it. I was like WHOA.... WE ARE NEAT! LOL. For main course the snapper must be grilled. The silly thing is we don't even have a griller. Closest we have is a griddle. So lame.... So anyway we grill it for colour then oven bake to cook. OH OH and i tournee potatos. For me it looks quite good. I'm quite impressed with what i did. YAY MEEE~~~ <3

Menu 5

Last 2 weeks on friday our menu was chicken mousseline.

I was partner-ing with sayaka on that day. And sayaka was the one stuffing the thing. So everything was going very nicely and smoothly until three quarters of the way.



Sayaka was stuffing the chicken and she panicked suddenly. "sally sally sally what do i do what do i do??? I was like okay sayaka chill. BREATHEEE..... she was so panicked. She accidantelly slipped and broke a hole on the chicken breast. So the mousseline was leaking out. I told her its fine, no prob, we can just poach it instead of pan-fry and we did. But in the end everything went quite okay. Taste was good.





Oh one thing that annoys me is that i made tuille on that day, but i forgot about it. When i sent out my main course already i remembered. I was like oh gosh! MY TUILLE!!!!!! when i took it out, it was burnt. Sighhh......
