This week was group 3's turn for F & N microteaching! We whipped up 4 dishes instead of the usual 3 dishes. We cooked carrot cake, cabbage roll, broccoli soup as well as fruit trifle!

Shown below is the presentation of the carrot cake! We even did piping! See the cream on top of our carrot cake? We did that using piped cream provided by Ms Lu and Ms Nur. We were even given decoration bits to flaunt our creativitiy and design. Seriously, i had no idea that real carrots were used in making the dessert, carrot cake =x The carrot cake tasted yummy with strong taste of cinnamon plus raisins!! I don't know why but raisins always tasted very yummy when used in baking =)

Carrot Cake

 We cooked broccoli and leek soup. It was quite similar to the one i did during the cooking session conducted by Miss Chin. I think it serves as a good dish to trick kids to eat vegetables since children tend to resist eating vegetables. I only started eating vegetables when i was 15! It was because i took F & N, i learnt the benefits and importance of eating vegetables =) Then i started "forcing" myself to eat vegetables... Intrinsic Motivation huh...

Broccoli and leek soup

Next up we have cabbage roll. We fried the meat with vegetables and wrapped into a roll using par-boiled cabbage leaves. The cabbage leaves were so huge! Jit and i were laughing at how huge the leaves were which resulted in "grandpa roll", meaning super fat cabbage roll haha...

Cabbage roll

I forgot to take picture of the fruit trifle!! Below is the picture of the overall presentation. Did you see the small cup with fruits on top? That is the fruit trifle. I remember during my contract teaching, one of the boy did something similar to that, cool isn't it?

Thanks group 3, for teaching us to cook yummy desserts! Not forgettin the healthy soup and cabbage roll! =D
