Cooking day! (:

Cooooooooooooking day today! :D


At this point of time, I must inform all readers that nothing got destroyed in any and all cooking involved, and Shireen’s house certainly did NOT burn down.
Of course, since we were such awesome chefs and all. (:




So the day started out with 10 star chefs meeting up and congregating in Shireen’s house for the great cookout.
We all came from different parts of the, er, suburb, but with one purpose: To cook the house down! (Perhaps not literally but, yeah)


It got so competitive, that they even attempted killing each other.
Of course, being the great blogger I was, I managed to capture that horrifying moment.


Just look at Shireen's sadistic smile. LOL.


We also managed to witness the historical moment of Tienyi’s first experience in cooking!
Funny that she was the one who actually organized the whole cooking day thing, given that she had never actually cooked anything before.


Slicing spring onions into small little pieces is no mean feat okay! Don't play play.



The menu was kind of weird, but… Uh… Its fusion cuisine! :D


Bhavjeet and Shireen made the pizza:

We watched it turn from a piece of dough lying in the sun



To a flattened base




To a wonderfully baked pizza with cheese and olives and… some other random ingredients. :D





Next up, we have Irene and Melody, who, being the experienced chefs, decided to take on two menu items: Cupcakes and Okonomiyaki (some Japanese pancake thing)

Cupcakes in its early stages...



Sent into the oven...



Result! :DDD







This is the Japanese pancake thing.
Its actually supposed to be eaten with the sauce (same as the Takoyaki one) but there's no sauce in this picture. ):




In addition to the pizza, we had another hot favorite, garlic bread, made by Rachel with the help of Richa.


It looks pretty normal, but there's the butter and garlic inside.



Of course, no meal can ever be complete without the ever important rice, of which the task of making fell on Tienyi, with my help here and there.
It was Heavenly Thai Pineapple Rice, adding a whole new different taste to the overall menu.

Colourful ingredients!



Expert (Ahem) skills of stir-frying on display.



It looks pretty and colourful! (Okay fine, this is a biased source)



End product!
It looks nice okay! But aren't looks supposed to be deceiving? ):




Siu took care of cooling us down in the hot weather with ice kachang!
We never really appreciate the importance and wonderful-ness of ice kachang until we are kept in a boiler room with a boiler temperature.
Of course, with all the cooking being done in one kitchen, the temperature was bound to rise!

Ice kachang machine!
It looked so cuteeeee!
I had imagine her to bring this enormous metal ice kachange machine much like the one PCK's mother uses, but.. erm. apparently not.



Okay this doesn't look very nice, because we only remembered to take the photos halfway while eating.
By then the mountain of ice has melted, and everything is like, mixed together.
But it was nice. :D




To end it all off, Yihrue made muahchee, a Chinese delicacy of which the secret recipe was given to her by her mother.
I didn’t manage to get a picture of it, because we were all happily eating it, forgetting to capture it on camera, but I assure you, it looked wonderful. :DDD



Of course, we need someone to be there, to eat and judge all out cooking.
The ever important task of tasting everything and commenting on our cooking fell on Sheryl, who stopped by for a while to eat the fruits of our labour. (Okay, that makes her sound very gluttony. Of course the chefs ate it too lah :)




LOL it looks very systematic from left to right. Richa is smelling the cupcake. Melody is about to eat the cupcake. And Irene IS eating the cupcake. HAHAHA.



Good chefs will never reveal all the blunders made in the kitchen.
So what happened today shall always remain a mystery.
Though, I do have to comment on the fact that Tienyi forgot to bring the rice needed for her heavenly fried rice.
Abit sad really. :D



We didn’t manage to get a group picture again, as always.
Everyone was hopping around excitedly, flitting from the backyard to the kitchen to the living room.. yup you get the idea.
This is the closest to a group picture of all the fabulous chefs involved in the great cookout that was today.
