Flattered

Mummy posted up a recipe she saw in a magazine which I cooked (with a lil help from Kakak and mum).

It turned out alright... I guess.

I enjoy cooking, and I really love it when people compliment me when it's good (or not).

For me, cooking is like chemistry. Some people follow the exact steps and ingredients which is good when you're doing chem... but I love to venture if it comes to food! I love to 'modify' (that's why I had really bad results during A Levels' chemistry practical... I recall a small explosion and breaking a flask cause I mixed a potent cocktail of chem which I was told not to.. *curiosity kills*) recipes and mix in ingredients which I think would compliment the overall dish.

So far, all my 'experiments' were pretty good and people who ate them did enjoy. :)

Anyways, I was flattered by a few bloggers who commented my recent 'modified' recipe at my mum's awesome blog, 'A Daily Obsession'.

Zurin:

Can I a that adopt Ming? pleeease? That soup looks os very good I wouldnt eat anything else!

Ming's mom:

zurin: if only you offered when he was 15-18--i was ready to give him away, reward included!now he's better (we still fight, but not like b4) n yes, he cooks like jamie, michael and the guy who grills :))

So you see food connects people and connects us with memories. The good stuff. :)

And when you are good at it, share it with your family and friends, receive the compliments you deserve!

So why don't you guys get away from your computer and cook something awesome now!

Try and experiment. Pimp your kari flavoured maggie mee with a wee bit of fresh santan. Trust me it will make a difference!

Some of my experiments and creations! ;D

My 1st creation! A must try for you Bovril or marmite lovers! You will either love it or hate it... like durian! >:D
