Alycia, our eldest girl with royal hands hates kitchen work. Cooking, baking and washing dishes are just not her forte. What a polar opposite from Sherilyn who would find every opportunity to cook and bake. I think one takes after me and the other takes after my mom 😁
Alycia was forced to cook something for an Accounting project in school. Her class was assigned by the Accounting teacher to embark on a food sale project. Each team is only allocated RM100 and they have to cook something for sale to about 100 students. Yeah, what the heck can you sell with just RM100 for 100 students?? That's RM1 for 1 student! Ridiculous budget!
After a long deliberation with me and her team members, they have decided to make sweet corn fritters, using the mil's recipe.
Her first attempt was quite a flop, as grandma was not around to guide her. Her friends and teacher commented that the sweet corn fritters lacked umami. We followed the mil's instructions and yet the fritters didn't quite appear as how it should have been. We later found out that the mil deep fries the fritters and not pan fry them. And she forgot to tell us to deep fry the fritters. No wonder they tasted like pancakes and not crispy as how fritters should be! 😂
The second batch supervised by grandma was a success - crispy and flavorful.
On the day of the project next week, Alycia and her friends are going to fry the fritters at night at a friend's house and toast them back the next morning before bringing to school. Hopefully all goes well with their first food sale project!
On Drama Queen, she and her team mates clinched 3rd placing in a district level inter-school English drama competition held at St John's International School yesterday! Kudos to the team! First and second placing went to St John's and Bukit Nenas School.
Her next competition? An inter-school traditional dance competition, which she claimed her teacher forced her to take part in. It's no doubt that my fearless girl loves competition since she was in pre-school and all the adrenaline rush that comes with it! She definitely inherited the Yap genes. Hubby's youngest sister was a former top Malaysian bowler (Sarah Yap - go Google her) before she migrated to Hawaii 😊
