Bad dough and char siew..

Yesterday, i went to the baking school to learn how to make Egg Tarts with my girl friends...
My egg tart didn't turn out too good... because i had a bad dough! And i blame it on the teacher! Because he was always talking to his regular students and flirting with them and didn't come check on us and he wasn't too interested in answering our questions too.. idiot.

I was quite frustrated cos my dough kept breaking! GRRRR! Never mind, i shall make some more next week! Practice makes perfect!

Here are some pics of my egg tarts. hehehe


uh-huh, uh-huh, i made all these!


Yeah, hehe, the crust is very thick..hehe

After the baking class, we went to one of my my girl friend's place to learn how to make char siew! Uh-huh, i said Char siew!

We wanted to make some that day because we were going to have a bbq. Don't waste the "fire" mah.. Since we are bbq-ing already.. so let's just make some char siew..

4 of us made 4 kg of Char Siew! hahaha Our BBQ neighbours were gaving us weird looks when they saw us BBQ-ing the char siew because we just had lots of chicken wings and satays... We didn't actually finish eating all 4kg of it. We made them to bring home for our family to try. And i'm glad to say that everyone at home loves it!


Yeah this is my char siew.



I'm gonna try make it again soon! I'm gonna perfect it before i go to the UK hehe. ... maybe i can sell char siew rice as a part time job.. GBP4 per plate maybe? hehehe

Woah, okay maybe the crust doesn't look dark enough, but overall I must say the egg tarts seems quite well done!

Oh no, you're making me hungry man. Hehe.

Wah. Around 12 Sing dollars for 1 plate of char siew in GB. That's the most expensive char siew that I've heard of.

Those egg tarts look soooooooo good! Luckily, the instructor didn't flirt with you, otherwise, there wouldn't be tarts to bring back home! (It won't last till you pull out your camera to snap a picture.)
