我的第一次

I was offered a big project by the CEO of ElleFamily i.e. Ellepo.

"To prepare Chap Goh Meh dinner for a family of four".

I don't know how I will cope because all these while I don't like to spend my time in the kitchen and this is the first time I am asked to prepare an important meal on my own for a special occasion. OMG! What am I supposed to do? It sounds simple but definitely it is an enormous amount of work.

The biggest challenge was to come out with the menu. I spent days thinking about what i would serve. Finally, i had decided to cook a Western dish, fruit salad (that's the easiest dish to prepare.. hehe!), mixed vege and curry. I am taking the risk to include curry in my menu as Pa is a typical Chinese and he doesn't take Western food. He must have rice every meal.

I listed out the things to buy and headed to Boulevard Hypermarket with Ellepo. I had a long list but Ellepo cancelled a few items as she said we had all those stuff at home. Hehe! She saved some money for that.

After coming back from Sunday Mass, I started to have butterflies in my stomach. Even though we had just taken our brunch, I prepared the ingredients earlier just to make sure that the dinner will be ready on time.

As the evening drew closer, I started to feel the pressure. Luckily with Ellepo's assistance, I managed to get the food done. Tada!

Pa and I liked this the most! It's hot & spicy!!!

Yummy vege. We finished everything!

Ellepo and Liang liked this very much! It's a rich dish. Look at their sizes you know, hehe!!!

Elleby liked this. Tasty fruits salad!

These were what I prepared. Yeah! =p

I felt satisfied and touched (and relief too.. haha) knowing everyone has enjoyed my food especially Ellepo. Words can't describe my joy at that very moment when Ellepo tried every dish with beautiful compliments. Thanks Jee!

Not only the food looked so nice, I never expected my first time cooking to taste so great. Only if my camera can also capture the taste and smell, then you know I am not cheating.

Ellepo has really educated me on so many things. Is something I could never have achieved if she hadn't taken a gamble and given me the opportunity to take up this big task in such an important occasion. A big hug to you Ellepo! =)
