Yup....was awake very early to prepare the meat and to cut some of the kimchi... overall it was very tiring and hectic. When we reached, it was already 9.30am, went to register and was met up with Miss Leong, Miss Toh, Dr Tay...and all of them spoke to me about Uni of Massey and hoping that i will stay and do my studies here. =) But i think its pretty obvious i'll be leaving...
Well..the cooking competition was intense, when we found out that we had to compete with 11 other teams...most of them with their parents or grandparents who are very very experienced in the kitchen...as compared to Tommy and I....who hardly step in unless we need to =/
So our table was right in front of the spectators...we had to face the media...and people coming to our tables constantly and we having to entertain them....there were people from the media, press and our very own students....all hoping to get a piece what we were doing...actually everyone was curious about our dish, which was rice balls with a fusion of everything...
We had a tasting session, and yes...we were so nervous when we noticed that the table was filled with very nice looking, delectable...and very innovative dishes....and then i thought...we were done for...until one of the judges came over...and asked my brother..."Hey are you the group who did the rice balls?" And my brother was like "Yeah...(shit...)"...and he said "Oh wanna congratulate you first...well done"... My bro and i were like (What the fuck are you kidding me?)....
And guess what....9 Merit awards were given out to people who did the very elaborate and nice looking dishes...including the Paiti...and others....We were holding on to our seat and we were so nervous...we didn't expect to make it out of the merit award range...
"And now for the top 3 prizes...." Miss Leong spoke. "These are 2 of my Food Students...and they have won themselves the most delicious meal award!...they are TOMMY AND TAMMIE!"
(OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG...!)
Hahaha...and when they asked us what is the name of the dish...my brother answered..."Reunion Rice Balls"...and they were so happy for us....my mum was very happy and shocked too...hehehe...what a memorable day...and it was the best day i've had for so long....=)
Hehehehe....for once...i'm so proud of myself and my brother hehehe....
"But still...i wished you were there to see me....=) i really did..."
