Food

I think I'm gonna be a very good cook when I go back home. Ever since I came here, I've been picking up cooking skills along the way, learning new recipes and trying new things. Before this I only knew how to cook maggi mee and fry an egg... NOW... I can do wonders... HAHAHAHA...

Look at my gourmet meal... YUM... Its baked salmon with home-made chips and chinese stir-fry veg... Healthy & YUM...





Previously I can only bake stuff using "mixes", NOW, I bake stuff starting from scratch... I'm so proud of myself!
