3rd Workshop - MoonCake

1 comments
25 January 2010, it's another lovely Monday afternoon. We had our 3rd workshop to bake some MoonCakes. Before the workshop start, as usual, our volunteers will do the preperation to ensure the workshop run smoothly.



Unlike the last two workshop, our history part was in the beginning of the workshop. I found that's very good because we can wait for the late comers, so they wont missed out the MoonCake making procedures.



Thank you for Tony, HeiTung and Cathy for the history research. They done a good job! Lot's of pictures during the history presentation to make the presentation not too boring. *Clap clap*


One of our volunteer, Mewmew, is going back to China for good. *sob sob* Thus, there's a suprise for her to make her remember us. We bought her some flowers and a present. Mewmew, forget us NOT! You will be missed.


Compare with the last 2 workshops, this workshop had the most participants. It tells that we have done a very good marketing/promotion in recuiting participants. XD


Everyone is concentrating to make their Mooncake.


Actually, I'm very surprise that most of the participants had done a very nice mooncake. It's better than what I expected. It's really hard to believe that they never make a MoonCake before. Our participants are talented!! Or... maybe I am good teacher. hahaaa...


There's a little accident happened. Gordon didn't eat his lunch, thus, he has no energy and can't hold the baking tray with our nicely-made MoonCake properly! So, don't angry with him if he spoiled your MoonCake.


Don't worry, although the MoonCake doesn't look nice. But, it will still taste very nice. ^.^


Taa Dang~~~ MoonCakessssss. It looks so delicious. Isn't it?


They are Fela and Chloe from Vcashpoint. Our sponser!! Without Vcashpoint, we won't be having fun in learning different types of Chinese dessert. Thank you for coming. I hope you enjoy the workshop and the MoonCake.


Some of the participants told me, they have no idea what MoonCake is until they come to this workshop. Therefore, this is the first time they tasted a MoonCake. I feel that our project is getting meaningful, for at least, a little bit more people get to know Chinese traditional dessert.


Before everyone goes home, let's have a group picture. Once again, THANK YOU for everyone!!! Hope to see you in the next workshop, 8th Feb 2010.

Tried and Tested

1 comments
Before every workshop, we'll always have a trial lesson to ensure that our lovely assistants are fully trained to assist Foong Yue (The Chef) in the workshops. (^_^) Actually, calling them lovely assistants is too much of a compliment, because I get bullied by them. (-_-)

Initially I thought that making moon cakes would be quite difficult, but Foong Yue has done a good job with her teaching so making it is actually quite simple. (^_^) The date is Sunday the 24th of February and it's less than 24 hrs until the next workshop, so I would like to shout out a BIG message to all the students "Get ready to get your hands messy and make MOON CAKES!" (^_^)

It was Gordon's Birthday so we went to went to eat at a Japanese restaurant yesterday, and went to the comedy club to laugh at jokes. (^_^)

In case you forgot who Gordon is, which of course is impossible! ( ゚ ヮ゚) He is one half of the design team, and he is the only guy holding something in the photo. (^_^)

Workshop 2 - Chinese Pancake

0 comments
Happy New Year everyone!! How's your new year holiday? I hope you enjoyed it ^^

Yesterday, the 4th day of 2010, we had our 2nd workshop. I really enjoyed teaching the participants in how to make Chinese Red Bean Paste Pancake. Basically, I am glad to share the recipe because its one of my favourite dish. I remember the 1st time I tried to make the pancake, was 7 years ago. My friend and I were testing how to make good ones until 3am. After facing lots of obstacle, we finally succeeded. Oops... too much old grandma's story.

Well, thanks to the participants who turned up to the workshop. Photos will be uploaded soon so stay tune for updates!
