Chapter 299: Cooking

Woke up early at 8.15am, got myself ready and set off for the LRT. It's another round of adult fare. Suddenly, I become more conscientious when travelling... should have toured around the whole MRT system before 31st Dec 2010.

Took LRT, then MRT to Hougang. I reached earlier than the stipulated timing of 9am. So I waited for Nich Khaw (nk) to appear. He did so around 9.05am.
We took the bus (forgot which number) to Darren (Leong)'s house.
But we didnt know his block number and thus couldnt locate it. Nk called Darren up, only to find him bathing. So, nk went to retrieve $ from ATM first.
We then called darren up again and he came to fetch us after awhile. We went to the Sheng Siong Supermarket nearby to shop for ingredients. Bought some stuffs. Got the lucky draw ticket/coupon/receipt (whatever u call it.) The draw will be made during the show.

We went to Darren's house shortly after. It was my first time cooking (excluding Home Economics lessons), so I require alot of pointers/tips/guidance.*
(*Delete where applicable)
My first lesson was on cutting open the package of Sausages... And it took some time, because it was hard to cut. According to nk, there is a lack of tension in the packaging..making cutting difficult.
Second lesson was on frying the sausage. Need to add oil... (I rmb adding too much oil during Home Econs last time by accident. I thought the teacher wont find out... but the first thing she said was "too oily".)
So I added oil and then I fried my sausage.
(detailed steps are not listed to prevent plagarism of the secret recipe.)
Third lesson was on how to beat an egg. Out of 8 (I think?) eggs, I only have 2 eggs with intact egg yolk after breaking the egg shell... the others were distorted egg yolks.. But it works well anyways... not as if I was making sunny side up. Or Darren would have killed me for wasting eggs haha.
I then beat the egg, fry it, and TADA! The scrambled eggs were the result.

While cooking, Darren kept reminding me and nk not to blow up his kitchen. I told him to buy some insurance so that gives us the right to blow his kitchen up.

NK did baked potato using the microwave and fried the fish.
He did the potato by wrapping it with aluminium foil before putting it into the oven. Frying fish requires alot of time.. so Darren and I went to watch TV programme while he continue frying his fish LOL.
After a long long while, nk was done and darren started preparing the dessert, which is some jelly with almond and peach (I think that is how to describe it..)

So, the end product is a fish, scrambled egg, sausage, baked potato, the dessert as described above, and Fanta Orange.
And in case u are wondering, no, we didnt brew the Fanta Orange drink. We just poured it out from a 1.5 litres bottle.

Main Course:

Dessert:


We made 3 portions of course, the picture only showed 1. And yes, that is our lunch!

Still have a lingering thought?

Yes, I ate the fish.
I gave nk alot alot alot of face. What a good friend I am, ain't I?
