Mini Cheesecake

Star Q
iii.  STPM 2013


There was supposed to be a meeting at school this morning at 8 together with a few of my colleagues.  I had already ordered breakfast for us, but it had to be cancelled because our head of panel could not make it back from Sarawak because her flight was delayed.  The meeting was later totally postponed to another date because she could not make it back in time at all.

Nasi Goreng Nenas / Pineapple Fried Rice

Star Q
ii.  STPM 2013


Before the holidays, I was among the guests at a year-end lunch organised for a group of students.  Actually, I was not only the guest, I was also in charge of finding a caterer for the lunch.  There was an array of dishes provided by the caterer and I actually had hoped that all the guests, including the students, were happy with the dishes.  I, on the other hand, was quite unhappy with a few of them; including the fried rice.

Ikan Terubuk Goreng Dgn Air Asam

Star Q
ii.  STPM 2013



I don't know what you call this fish in English, but it is really a tasty fish.  Even though it has many fine, small bones, it is much sought after, not only because of it's taste but because of the fact that is seldom available here.  As many may already know, Terubuk (as it is called in Bahasa Malaysia) can be prepared in many ways including Asam Pedas.

Ayam Panggang Sos Tiram

Star Q
iii.  STPM 2013


This is a creation which the well-known Chef Wan would probably call 'main campak-campak' (literally meaning simply throw!)  In fact this chicken dish was created when I simply threw together the ingredients that we had in the larder (how many times have you heard that before!)

Tartlet Keju / Cheese Tartlets

Star Q
iii.  STPM 2013


It is the school holidays but for the whole November, I had been commuting back and forth to Palong 4 (a FELDA settlement in Negeri Sembilan) carrying out my duty as an STPM invigilator.  This is actually my seventeenth year in the invigilating business be they for STPM, SPM or PMR.  And during all those invigilations, I have had the opportunity to be the chief invigilator, assistant invigilator or just an ordinary invigilator.
