and the dish is.........

i forgot to upload d name of my 1st dish.. well its actually pan fried sea bass in aromatic oil with buerre blanc sauce, served with glazed carrots and duchesse potato.

pretty long huh? i also thought so~ LOL~

m cracking my head to create a name for my nxt creation dish.. we will be serving duck and pigeon??! m not so sure about d pigeon... but m juz gona be prepared for it anyways.. usually wat they gave in d fiche technique, they ended up giving incomplete ingredients... *sigh* which frustrates me even more! but becoming a chef.. one must always be prepared to create a dish even when u have the least ingredients.. after all.. cooking is not juz about d ingredients.. its about using wat u have and create a scrumptious meal! bonne chance to me nxt week! =D

well.. i'm thinking of sumfink french for my dish name.. i asked mum bout it.. she said it sounded pretty fancy, but she wont try them out.. i think she's a neophobia [a person who is afraid to try new food.. juz studied it dis afternoon.. lol] but.. i think m gonna go for it! m taking d chance and risk.. and we'll see how it goes.. =P

about d recipe for d duck and pegion.. m pretty confident with my selection.. hopefully it worked out dat day! *cross fingers*

aite dats all for now! bonne nuit! a bientot!

p/s: i juz gotten my result for my 1st Year End exam... i got 17.44/20.. its okay~~ but i was expecting a better result.. it dropped by 0.47 pts from prev term 2 result tho.. which m quite disappointed bout it~ hm~ anywayz.. wats done is done.. lets focus on Year 2 now! hopefully can maintain dis grade! ;D

1st day as OPT B chef

first day as an opt b chef... wow.. quite a challenge~ lol~ basically i forgot some of the things.. but generally... i survived d day~

the ingredients were not fully given to us today.. so.. i cant really do much bout my plating.. coz things like tomatoes, peas and etc were not issued by the storage staff.. so.. i work with wat i have..

i made few mistakes.. there were few terms i cant identify.. well.. 1st of all.. it was my 1st class of d term.. 2nd of all..we were not briefed last week.. dat was not our fault nor the chef's.. the system was not upgraded.. 3rd of all.. there were new terms dat we've never seen b4 or used b4.. so yah.. dat explains..

i messed up with the sauce.. i tot beurre blanc = beurre meunierre.. lol.. so the chef tot my dish was sauceless~ hahah! i made butter sauce instead of white sauce!!! haih~ pretty dumb mistake.. but oh well.. we learn from mistakes~ ;) next mistake.. i pan fried d fish.. it was perfect till i turn it over.. AND THE SKIN CAME OFF!!! like wtf!! so yah.. flesh was perfect... skin~ NOT! =.= *note to moi.. keep d pan super hot and coat moi fish with flour b4 pan-fry*

but overall... i think my dish was ok and definitely can improve better.. chef said my portions are good.. juz d sauce and fish skin.. heheh ;P

aite dats all for now.. till next blog.. *wow.. i hafta update my blog now.. lol.. i didn't even update d other blog as much as i did with dis blog.. lol~*
