Theme: Rice and Alternatives
1) Hawaii-O Pizza
This was quite a simple dish which required the skills of kneading, rolling-in and rubbing-in. Sham was the one leading this dish and despite his countless practice, during the teaching itself, his dough did not turn out the way it should have. His dough was too wet. Also, there was too much dough left and being a rule of cooking, no food should be wasted. So thankfully, sham managed to use all the extra dough from everyone and created a HUGE pizza! THe pizza was HUGE because it was left sitting for too long so the yeast present in the dough continued to break down the sugar and produced gas. My group's pizza (shi ping and i) turned out pretty nice too! :)
2) Lemon drizzle cake
This dish was led by Fiona. It required the skill of creaming and grating. I would say this was another fairly simple dish, suitable for the upper secondary students. I would say the main challenge of this dish is to be able to present it in a appealing and appetizing way.
3) Potato and Prawn Cutlet
This was led by mei feng. It was an interesting dish which taught the skill of shaping and breading. While cooking this dish, i realised that the common problem faced was that the cutlet would fall apart while frying and also, may stick to the pan if insufficient oil is added. Therefore to prevent this, we must ensure the cutlet is coated properly and also, sufficient oil added to achieve a nicely shaped, golden-brown cutlet!
4) Spicy Seafood Spaghetti
This was led by Shahidah. I liked this dish because it required us to make our own sauce from scratch which i always wanted to. The skills practiced in this dish were mainly just stir-frying and blending. The only problem that may be faced when teaching students this dish is for those who cannot take spicy (which happened to some of our classmates). They were unable to enjoy this dish as it was too spicy for them. This could be a pointer to take note if we plan to teach it in the future!
All in all, it was a great first marco-teaching session and i think the group did a great job! Was totally exhausted after that!
