Day 35

2nd day.. It is not any better than yesterday.. Still get scolded as much.. Except for different reasons..

Made muffins again today.. Completed in less than an hour.. YEAH~! I managed to turn the tray around without dropping anything.. :) Then after that we were told to do stewarding and the muffin batter..

The batter.. Measuring the amount required is okay.. Except for the part where I mixed up the baking soda and baking powder.. -.-" When it comes to making the batter.. It is really DOTS. We're doing it for the first time so assembling the equipment is already a problem. Same goes for incorporating the mixture.. We didn't know when to add what and the speed for the mixer so naturally we do the wrong things.. And we got scolded for doing wrong things and too slow.. For the batter I think we spent more than 1hour mixing it.. -.-" But at least now we know what to do in the future..

Then I scoop the chocolate cookies dough to form cookies, cut the 1-2-3 dough, prepare mise en place for bagels, and more stewarding.. That sums up the whole day.. At the end of the class, we have food tasting session! Finally.

Chef starts by going through all the breads, muffins, cookies, cakes, strawberry truffle, lemon meringue tartlet, bagel and creme brulee.. Telling us how to see if they're being cooked in the right way.. Then we get to taste them.. All tasted not bad.. I like the flat bread! Extremely nice..(^.^)

Supposed to have baking lectures but we didn't read up on the topics so was postpone to tomorrow instead.. -.-" Which means school will end even later.. Plus have to meet for cc.. Today's lecture on the top restaurants in the world which is quite interesting.. We also watch a video on the world best restaurant.. Felt like going there to eat.. The food looks so interesting and delicious.. I wanna try the apple caviar! But doubt it will be possible.. Only accept 55guests per day.. Just in one day, full reservation for the whole year.. 55chefs serves 55guests.. 1 chef to 1 guest.. You can just imagine the quality of the service.. Sigh. The standard of top restaurant..
