Watch out Chef Gary Choy!!




I am pleased to announce that I have officially enrolled in 2 cooking classes. They are being held at the beautiful Raffles Hotel(see pic above). I am so anxious & nervous...I feel like I'm going into the 4th grade all over again!
The title of my first class on Wednesday is "Hot and Sour Chinese" and the menu is:
Poached cold prawn salad with szechuan sesame dressing
Hot and spicy soup
"Mar Lak" Mud Crab with spices Glazed with white pepper sauce
Yummy! Luckily they are hands-on and do include lunch!
My next class isn't until the 22nd of October and its title "Fusion" the menu also looks very appetizing as well.
Matt helped calm my nerves this weekend by going and finding where the culinary academy is at the hotel. So at least I know where I'm going!
The website said the classes are introductory & recreational in nature...so it sounds like they should be right up my alley!
Raffles hotel is famous for the well-known Singapore Sling; it originated in 1915 when a bartender started making it for British women who were not supposed to be seen drinking in public.

Thanks to Mom & Dad for such a great birthday present!


More to come later!!
