Cooking Project: The Chicken Salad Experience

Our colourful salad(Picture taken using camera phone)

It was really a great experience to me. Despite that we never try Vietnamese food in our life, we managed to come out something which is not very authentic but edible. [claps*]
Although there are only 4 steps in the recipe, but it also took us several hours in preparation. We all went to NTUC to purchase ingredients, wash and cut them. Luckily teamwork did work in our group! All of us divided the jobs and helped each other along the way. =)

On the actual day itself, we also encountered some difficulties in decoration and food tasting. Fortunately, our lecturers are very helpful and friendly. Not only giving us advice on the taste of the food but also teaching us how to decorate our dish! Thousand thanks for all of them. As our team is a ‘Malaysian’ team (all of us come from Malaysia), it was really headache for us when making the salad sauce. Maybe we are more used to the ‘spicy’ in our home country, our product seemed like too ‘hot’ and ‘spicy’ to some people. Anyway, I really felt that it taste nice! Maybe I can only taste the sweetness of our effort.

Overall, it was really a great learning opportunities for every of us! Not only learnt more about Vietnamese cultural but also build bonding among us. I enjoyed this Vietnamese food festival very much.
