“Trainee Cook”

Adrian is now very keen to learn some simple recipes for his next working trip.

For the recent trip, he was quite lucky to stay with the Master Chef in the same hotel. The “CHEF” will usually cook some local dishes for the group who stayed there. Everyone will contribute their share for buying the ingredients.

Good things don’t last, for his return trip – the CHEF is staying in a different hotel. So now Adrian is trying to find some ways to be able to cook on his own.

So today we went to source for some cooking utensil – he needed an induction cooker. We went to NTUC XTra to look at the range of different induction cookers. Then we went to the hardware shop to look around for the pots and at the shop, the sale person gave us a better insight of what kind of cooking pot to get. We learnt a lot about induction cooker and pots today.

Then we went to NTUC Xtra to buy those premix seasoning and some ingredient as Adrian want to try cooking.

For a person who had NEVER Cook rice or any dishes before, this is quite a HISTORICAL moment. I let him take over my kitchen for ½ hour.

He started cooking his 1st Hainan Chicken rice. The end result was quite positive.
Both Anthea and Anders ate Daddy's chicken rice while both of us eat the tingkat dinner.

Both of them were full of praises for Daddy's cooking and it really gave daddy the confidence votes that he needed.

Now that he can cook this recipe and he will be trying other recipes taught by my SIL, Eve, within these 2 weeks and hopefully when he is back in Country X, he can cook a simple meal for himself.
