Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!!

What a wonderful atmosphere I'm having.

Great food, awesome company and yes the fireworks.

I've missed out on CNY for 2 long years while I was over in Melbourne, and to see, hear and smell the fireworks is a true bliss. The 'chi fen' is here. You just can't get it over there in Australia.

Really happy to be back. :D

So yeah, will be super busy the next few days. Too much open house to attend to and of course I'm having one together with my dear sister Yi on Friday!

All these things just tell me how fast time flies. And I'll be back in Melbourne not too long from now. :(

Anyways, have an enjoyable week peeps!

God bless!

:)

The ginger thing you shower in. LOL

Awesome food! Nom nom nom says the Chinese Monster. :D

Mission Chocolate

Mission Chocolate

Objective: Drop down to 65-70 kg/show clear cut abs in 6 months

Where: Planet Earth

Why: Cause I was born sexy and it's about time I showed the world

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey peeps, I'm challenging myself (and a few mates) to lose our weights till the 65-70 kg mark.

Why is it called Mission Chocolate... I have no idea. It just makes it sound epic and delightfully delicious at the same time.

We have till 31st of July 2011 to hit the 'zone' and get our abs showing.

And here's the deal, if I do not reach my goal... a free meal at Hungry Jacks/Burger King for everyone who has commented or 'liked' this post either via Facebook or the Blogger comment post.

*promise*

Wish me the best(or otherwise) and we'll see how things go after 6 months.

P.S. Will keep you guys updated on my weight every few weeks or month on the (Mission Chocolate) side bar which is at the right side of this blog.

God bless and have a great week! :D

Oh for you other players out there, here's my ranking in the International Battle Net server.

P.S.: My panda profile pic wins! Hands down! :D

Taste of Melbourne 2010

Melburnians, are you ready?

Taste of Melbourne is a four day festival of food where Victoria's top restaurateurs and producers prep up a variety of exotic food for foodies to sample on. This year's festival was exquisite as it was the first time ToM had a pop-up restaurant where it will host a different celebrity chef each day.

With so many celebrity chefs attending the event and serving awesome food... who could resist?

The girls(Moon, Ying and Angela) and I decided to attend this year's Taste of Melbourne festival just to let our taste buds go on a joyride.

Picture time! ;D

Waiting for the doors to open

So yeah, that's all the pics I have. Was too busy trying different food, should have taken more pics instead. Hahaha, but then again... there's always next time! ;D

Master Chef Student Finals

13th August 2010

Monash University

1820 hours

LOL, nah I'm not gonna make such a serious military style entry. :P

Anyways, yesterday was MSC Finals where the top 5 finalist battled it out in front of a massive crowd. The top 5 are Ash Musafer from Sri Lanka, Joy Saikesam from Thailand, Truc Nguyen from Vietnam, Henry Wang from China and me representing Malaysia.

The theme for the MSC finals? Australian food with a twist of your country's own flavor added into it.

The main mystery ingredient?

L for LAMB

C for Cutlets

LAMB CUTLETS that is!

The final judgement and scores were very close but I manage to secure the 'Glorious Golden Grandma's Wooden Spoon' as the AIESEC peeps call it. Joy's score was just 1 point away from mine. Everyone did great and I really had loads of fun!

--------------------------------------------The day before---------------------------------------

I was very darned determined to win this final showdown. The day before the competition, all of us were informed about the mystery ingredient. Off to Safeway I go to get the herbs and some 'special' ingredients to practice at home.

Through trial and error and Yi's valuable advice, the experimental batch turned out pretty good. What I had in mind for my dish would be two sides and one main. The sides being a simple salad and the other, asparagus wrapped in prosciutto.

Experimental dish

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the day of the competition while I was on the train heading towards Monash, I scribbled about the ingredients, steps and layout of my dish. A little way to remind me of what needs to be done as I don't have very good memory.

Alright, I think I'll let the pictures do the talking from now cause I may bore you all. Hahaha :D

One world week event, one of the main attraction being the MSC.

The contestants being interviewed etc...

Ash and I prep-ing up.

Joy and I joked with each other about sabotaging the final dishes.

One small group pic before facing off.

Tenderizing my lamb cutlets in Coca-cola ;D

Joy's breadcrumb and thai mix I guess. :S

Waiting for the results to be annouced.

The finalized results and feedback being announced to each contestants.

Yay! I won the MSC! Was crowned Monash University's 1st Master Chef. :3

Was asked(more like forced) by the MC to go and dance. Knowing the fact I couldn't dance, I said no politely but the crowd cheered so yeah... had to go in. This is Chloe by the way, a very sweet and nice girl who is also a professional dancer.

Preparing for the partner dance

This girl is really really good. As good as Shakira. LOL

My turn to dance. What move did I use for a novice. But of course, the chicken licken dance.

The MC said: well you sure know how to cook, but you ain't good at dancing.

Nani... -__-

Met up with the KK peeps after that.

Btw, it's Arj's 21st Birthday!

Happy Birthday chocolate man. Hahaha, hope he and the girls didn't get too drunk at the Se7en club last night. :)

It's good to be surrounded by friends and loved ones.

Blessed to have you guys around to support and cheer me on.

That's all for now, God bless!

Ming out!
