Philippine Cuisine.

Philippine cuisine consists of the foods, preparation methods and eating customs found in the Philippine. The style of cooking and the foods associated with it have evolved over several centuries from its origins to a mixed cuisine with many Hispanic, Chinese, American, and other Asian influences adapted to indigenous ingredients and the local palate.

Indonesian Cuisine.

Indonesian cuisine is quite similar with Malaysian cuisine. It just the method of cooking and the ingredients that been used in the dishes makes them different. All of the dishes has been past down from generation to generation. Very famous with their Ayam Penyet (Smash Chicken) with accompanied by the super Spicy Sambal and with White Rice. But that's not what are we going to cook today. My classmate and I will be cooking 6 dishes. The dishes are Sup Kondro (Beef Soup), Nasi Goreng Tutut, Ayam Pop, Pecal Awek, Sambal Olek Tut and last but not least Sambal Cili.

And the dishes are....

Indian Cuisine

Indian cuisine. The most popular cuisine in the world. Almost every country in this world contribute Indian cuisine in their cooking. Muslim and Hindu is their religion. Their life is full of culture and that makes them very special in the eyes of the world. Almost all their dishes contribute herbs and spices like saffron, curry, chilies, nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric, garam masala and many more. They are very famous with their Curry, Roti Canai, Chapati, Tosai, Tandoori, Naan Bread and others.

Okay enough with the history. So for this semester i'll be having International Cuisine's class as my next kitchen class. Chef Zaid will be our lecturer for this class. A very 'sempoi' person but can be strict at some situation. Today's class will be learning to cook indian cuisine such as Saffron Spicy Rice, Kashmir Chicken Tomato,Madras Meat Curry, and Onion Tairu. All of this dishes are so delicious when you eat everything in 1 plate. So this are the pictures.

Chefs Association Malaysia | Penang Chapter

This is the story where my fellow comrades and I went to Penang for a cooking competition. Lead by our Chef Abdullah, Chef Zaid, Chef Asma and Chef Din. They taught us alot of thing about cooking. We trained in the kitchen for 2 weeks from sunrise to sunset. It's was a hard time for us because cooking in the kitchen 24/7?! I'll tell you guys it's very freaking stress. Not only that, everyday we've been 'playing' with catfish. All of us getting sick and bored with the catfish. Here are some of the photos that I have during our training.

For the second day. Two of our group made into second round. But we didn't it to the next round. After the competition ends, we went for 'jalan-jalan cari makan'. I can't remember what is the name of that place but that place got night market that sells alot of things like souvenirs and other stuffs. Instead of walking around at the night market. My friends and I stopped at this one restaurant for a drink and chit chat. After that, we went to Gurney Plaza where i think they have the biggest food court in Penang. At the food court you can eat from Malay, Chinese, Indian and even Western cuisines. We ordered so many kinds of foods such as Rojak Penang, Char kuew teow, Boiled cockles, Laksa Penang, Grilled fish and Grilled seafood. All the food are very satisfying my taste bud. The next day, we went to this one market where they're selling more food. That place is called St. Campbell Mall. One of the main attraction of that place are pickled fruits. They are freshly made, but I'm not a big fan of pickled fruits. After we took a walk around the market we head back to our place which is located in Kelana Jaya. It is such a memorable memories for all of us who was participated in this competition. Looking forward for the next one.
