Coming up with the perfect dish was one thing, making it was another. I first had to consult my mom about a healthy dish that I can finish in 1 hour (including preparation and washing up) while making it tasty.
It was stressful while I was cooking (Julia's stares were not helping) and there was a lot on my mind at first. But then slowly, I got used to it and went through the process without much trouble. Except when I added too much water to the soup. Grrr. The whole tamarind flavor almost disappeared. T.T WAHHHHH.
But then with some quick thinking, I managed to add some more amount of tamarind blended with water and salt as well to get the flavor back. The taste was not as great as it should be coz there was too much water but it worked.
It was especially tiring because I still need to keep the time in mind, while thinking about what comes next when I've finished a particular step and of course, that I don't mess up the practical part that comes after as well. Oh and Julia's poking face reminded me of the Peer Evaluation as I think about how to be more organised and clean and so on. It was more of a mind work rather than the hands on part that was difficult.
I gotta say, I can help my mom in the kitchen more now that I'm almost done with the F&N module (I used to not be able to stand raw meat). I also know how to multi-task better and be more organised in my thinking as well as my doings (Otherwise the dish will become watery like.. like my poor dish D: ).
I found the whole process fulfilling and helpful overall. I had fun doing it too. (Especially at the end where there was a feast waiting for me XD)
