Successful experiment

I think behind every meal, there's a lesson to be learnt.

Started the day with belgian hot chocolate and french toast. The hot chocolate didn't turn out too well with the lack of chocolate taste largely because of an underestimation by the person who prepared it. It wasn't out of expectation.




Did major shopping today. My favourite cornflakes was on sale. Buy 2 for the price of 1. I ended up buying 4 packets. Stocked up on some ingredients too. I have decided to be a bit more adventurous with my cooking now. Might as well try for a MA in cooking ;)



For dinner, I tried Chef Chips' roast chicken, marinated by basil, chives, garlic salt, coarse black pepper, soy sauce and sesame oil. I thought it turned out pretty well although I must say that the taste is a bit unfamiliar. The fried rice was awesome but I can't say the same for the vegetable soup. Too much of tomatoes made the soup too sour. However, the cook begged to differ and felt that she shouldn't put carrots (it wasn't her idea to put carrots). On the contrary, most of us thought adding carrots are fine but not the tomatoes. This is not the first time I have witnessed her stubborness. Are all cooks like this?

Dessert was bubble tea. I love the chewy "frog's spawn" (the more normal name is tapioca pearls). Bigger bubbles would have been more perfect.
