After receiving our project guide for CS3266, which is a 10 pages project guide with the same workload of CS3214, I’m totally blow off by the specifications required of us. A full project with only 2 members (Kelvin and Me). +_+! Its supposes to be a short and relaxing last semester.

Anyway, life is full of challenges and we have to eat before facing these challenges… So 7 of us, zm, kelvin, zw, wx, kenny, wq and me, decided to have our lunch at a nearby, In between Maju camp and SIM University, famous restaurant “Union Chee Pow Kai”. The restaurant is famous for the “Chee Pow Kai”,paper wrapped chickcn, which indeed is yummy. The only praise I have is for the Chee Pow Kai… Below are some of the problem which we felt…

1. Price doesn’t match the quantities
   The price for our set meal, 6 person set meal, is $138, but the quantity is like for 4 people. 1 “Large” plate of fried rice for 7 people? It is only the same portion as I buy 2 packs of fried rice from other “zi char”. Too Little for us LAH! Ripped off !
2. Overcharged food item
   3 plates of pickles which cost $6.00.
   Vinegar pig legs: 3 piece of meat plus 1 egg for 7 of us? Daylight Robbery!
3. Basic food item doesn’t provide
   Have you ever patronage a chinese restaurant that doesn’t sell white rice? Union Farm restaurant is the ONE! We are forced to only buy fried rice!

Kampong style restaurant- Union Farm

Mushroom soup, fried rice, paper wrapped chicken,vinegar pig legs, fried squid, fried tofu, stir fried prawn, fried fish with sweet sauce, and dessert (cut orange with agar agar)

kenny, wx,wq trying their famous “chew pow kai”

If you are very rich and doesn’t feel like eating white rice, probably you can give it a try. As for me, it would be the first and last time there…

It is my first time attending a cake baking workshop, and I pulled my mum to enroll the workshop with me. I think it is one of those time to get together and learn something new together. In this workshop, we learnt how to bake 3 different types of cheese cakes ,New York Cheese Cake, Blueberry Cheese Cake and Strawberry Cheese Cake, and my favourite is NEW YORK CHEESE CAKE ! Our teacher is Chef Richard Aw whom is experience in baking and cooking western cuisine. The experience is quite good, beside the confusing steps given. The steps for cake are overlapping and that make us quite confusing and difficult to follow. Furthermore, the recipes given are incomplete.
The workshop is $25 per pax and additional $5 for material fee which is slightly expensive as workshop doesn’t allow us to hands on…

My First Attempt

My New York Cheese Cake

2 days later at my grandmother’s home

Even though the surface of my New York Cheese Cake is slightly burn, the taste is still near perfect. “Near perfect” as there will alway be room for improvement

I would give myself 7/10 grade for my first attempt. hee. Next challenge will be either strawberry cheese cake or blueberry cheese cake which is much harder …
