Friday, September 26, 2008 Cake Sense is where I'm working now. I'm working here part time for 2 reasons. 1, the CASH!! Everyone needs money... 2, I wanna learn more on pastry decorations. Cake Sense deals with cake (obviously!) , bread and also some pastry. I've been at the job for 4 days already. I'm currently enjoying it. But I tend to get irritated when there's lots of stuff to be done but I either dont know or not sure of how to get it done. It irks the F**K out of me, but I'm need to stay calm as I do not wanna lose this new job. The job has a good working environment and also friendly people so I'm coping well. I dont mind sweeping the floor and mopping the floors that much since I dont really know how to do everything yet. Plus the pay is RM5 an hour which is quite good already.
On another note, I've actually got loads of photos of food which is still in my phone ready to be uploaded but I'm so busy and tired from the job that I hardly use the computer when I get home. I have a week of holiday starting Sunday to look forward to and I'm going back to my hometown!! YAY! I cant wait to meet my GF (yes I have one, we've been dating for 6 months already, sorry for the late notice LOL) and go hang out with her the whole day long AND drive around town in a car.
DAMN I'm gonna have so much fun! I'll post a photo of us if we happen to snap a good one. Comment! (3) | Recommend! Monday, September 15, 2008 Seafood was in the list. My first thought when we were told what we're gonna do was, uggghhhhh..... the smell...... , but then everything changed when they brought in the lobster... yes ... LOBSTER!!! Then to me, all the smell is worth it.... BLODDY DAMN WORTH IT! EVERY SMELLY SECOND OF IT! It was good from then on. We fillet the fish(2 in fact) but still... I don't mind anymore.... We even had muscles and crabs to work with. When everything was done, everything was cooked , except the fish, and everyone enjoyed it.
Then in larder, we had vegetable cookery. Not that interesting to follow after lobster but it was fine. It made me enjoy vegetables more, especially fried aubergines. Love cooking....
PS: There are some asses in class which sometimes is a big prick in the ass but lets just ignore them shall we? Comment! (1) | Recommend! Thursday, August 28, 2008 For I just acquired my killing set!!! MUAhHAHhHAHhhHAHhahhahHAHHAH!
In other news, the other day in pastry, we did fruit fritters. It was fun and challenging at the same time. I enjoyed it. Basically, you do a batter, cut some fruits up, put in flour then dip it in the batter and then u just fry it. Simple.
Prepared fruits placed on a towel to soak up excess water then placed into the batter

Fruits being fried.
Some sauces were made in the process of all this to accompany this dish. Naturally, because it is, anyhow, a dessert. So some strawberry sauce, chocolate sauce and some vanilla cream was made. As expected, the end result is great.

Simple but elegant!

This is actually bacon with potatoes,eggs and onions which I cooked for my supper the other night. Just thought I would share.
I LOVE COOKING!
PS: To those people who tagged me, I'm so sorry, I'm kinda lazy to do tags. Comment! (4) | Recommend! Monday. 8.25.08 10:08 am Is a disgusting yet fun thing. I had to insert my hand into the ass on a chicken to dig out the innards today. Imagine that. O.o Digging and digging and more digging. It's like mining for gold, except that it's quite disgusting. Actually not that bad, I'm just exaggerating ( shit i forgot ho to spell, correct me pls). Next was trussing the chicken with treads, it's actually kinda like sewing it together so that everything holds firmly to get an even roast.
I had larder class after butchery. We did some potato cookery. Mashed potatoes, croquette potatoes, duchess potatoes, baked jacket potatoes, pommes lyonnaise and chateau potatoes. (pommes lyonnaise is actually saute potatoes with onions but the other words sounds more fancy, do the math).
Tell you what, I'll give you all some pics so you all can salivate over it. HAhHAhA.

Mashed Potatoes

Dutchess Potatoes

The preparation of display

These are everything that we've done in less than 4 hours
Enjoy!! Comment! (3) | Recommend! Something Interesting for A Change Saturday, August 23, 2008 College is a way DIFFERENT experience than secondary school. It's a damn sure thing. The experiences you get is so fun that it totally shoves secondary school aside. I cant deny that I also had a lot of fun during secondary school and picked up memories that I'll cherish my whole life but college is cool because we are loving what we're learning rather than having useless education shoved down our throats. That's the difference between college and secondary school.
For those who still doesn't know, I'm currently pursuing a Diploma in Culinary Arts and I LOVE IT! I've been quite inactive for awhile as I was busy preparing and being nervous about college but now that I'm here, it's not that bad after all. My lecturers are cool and fun going. I actually love and look forward to my subjects compared to hating it back in secondary school.
In other words, I LOVE COLLEGE! Comment! (3) | Recommend! Thursday, July 3, 2008 I havent had double post's in a day for quite some time already( well if you consider it the same day... It's 22 minutes past midnight)
Well anyway, I just watched a singaporean move called Ah Long PTD... It's some hilarious shit!!! It's basically about loan sharks and how they deal with stuff and how the new leader ( a woman, weird how they like to use this as a big deal in the past few movies) tries to change how they actually treaten to collect debts by using gentle ways instead of the well known violence. Stirred some hilarious and humourous things like weird fat dancers trying to humiliate debtors into paying by singing about him owing money in public.
This is one movie I aint gonna forget for a while... 3 cheers to Jack Neo... Another great movie by him.. AGAIN! Comment! (7) | Recommend! |
