haha if you can guess it you are very smart! but erm...the dough is for bread obviously...urgh i don wna imagine daikon and cabbage with the dough O_O

so anyway! i was making the sauce that needed like chilli powder and then i dump it in but not chillie enough! so i put the WHOLE 200g of chilli powder and hey its quite a bit its like..about...1 1/2 cup? 2? sth like that la but hten still not hot enough...smelly korean chilli so i added some other bunch of chilli based stuff and came up with this...
but honestly! i tlel you its not spicy! eventhough it looks suicidal...hahah or maybe its just me ...
then i added more stuff and black bean paste so its not that red now...and the lighting is different here so yea...chives and spring onion and a bunch of stuff...i wanted to put in fresh oyster too! but then oysters are like $22 for one dozen! T__T im so super poor...last time i could get away with like $13 for second grade now they don even have seconds -__-''

so yea...heres my veges that are salting and sweating their water out! was pretty interesting how you add salt and then suddenly your vege starts sweating...haha

oh this is the cake i baked yesterday! it was good too! cheese souffle cake! =D it was not as nice when it was warm but hwen its int he fridge for a night whoa...the difference is amazing...dense and cheese like but the insides are just a little fluffy so its not too rich. the only thing i couldn get right was the cracking =( when it was in the oven it started getting bigger and then cracked..i tried lowering down the temperature but still cracked...hmm need to ask my fren! hes the son of a baker! haha last time i went over to his place and he baked cake! and it was looking sooo perfect but then right the top was burnt! so yea...

acrylamides

acrylamides are classified in Group2A carcinogen which may induce carcinogenic effects to humans. this relates itself to neorotoxicity however, there is not enough evidence supporting this.
acrylamides are formed within starch-based foods that have the protein asparagine and reducing sugars. when heated, they form acrylamides

sigh how nerdy thats what i need to write about for my essay urgh pretty interesing...indeed too much to fit into a 1200word essay including references....or is it.....

then i also made pineapple tart!

yay a bit pale tho...hmm must be the egg wash

thursday!
todays one very special
dun dun dun
its coming....
attack of the sausage alien!! ahha its supposed to be a penguin but when i cooked it i think i cut the arms to wide so it became like alien so i just put some vege stalks on it la hahah
today i took my sweet time as well haha coz i started slightly later than usual! today was egg rice! falefal, squeezed erm vege thingy i have no idea what it is i tot it was rocket salad when i bought it from the korean store but when i opened the pack it had like leaves with the stalks so i guess it aint rocket salad! :P oh i added brussel sprouts too! coz they are yum! =D very fresh tasting! taste even better stir-fried XDD

now! the interesting thing of the week! this week we had a microbiology lab again and we have to like plate our microbes found in the sauerkraut we made. every week we do a plate count and see what grew and stuff this week...
tada! my agar plate! so cool so cool! the white thing its like a mould and looks like popcorn! i was like eeeeeeeeeeee sooo cute and everyone was like ewww thats dissssssssssguuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhsting =( sad...guess im a freak

then we had a jelly lab for product development! where me and my fren made like coffee agar so coffee and cream! we used like industrial colouring and flavouring and worked with the percentages of what we needed to use with trial and error that kinda thing so that was pretty cool! =D then right

when we were making it somthing went wrong in the first batch and the jelly die-ded so we made shark fin soup!
ta da!! shark fin soup! yum yum!!! haahhahah did you believe me?!!?!?! i don think so -___'''
its actually the jelly hahah coz the coffee part did not want to coagulate but the cream phase did so we melted the cream phase and like pour in the coffee coz we tot it set already but it didn so we pour and it became like that and i wanted to throw away so put in plastic bag then really look like shark fin soup! O_O amazing! haha can go and con people outside :P

well in the end for the jelly evaluation, we didn win the like best tasting jelly coz some people didn like coffee so they rated ours really low =( so what ever...but in the end we did win a prize! XDD it was coz we made the effort to go the extra mile to make 2 layers coz everyone else did one only and that means when we make two we need to formulate for like 2 products instead of one that means twice the workload but we managed with..erm...minimal technical difficulties :P and this is what we won!
tada! when the gave out the prizes, it was a tied first place with some random fruit thingy i don rmember i think ginger beer flavour and feijoa and apple flavour and the teacher each gave them a box of favourites chocolates being the group 'favourtie' haha then she was like this is for the group that went the extra mile to make a two layer one and she pulled this out and everyone laughed! =( they tot it was some random oranges but little did they know...
so cool ei? its like orange with like cranberry flavour! it must be like GE food i think cross-breed with orange and cranberry! so cool so cool! ahah and the colour is like pinky in there not really like blood oranges...hmm haha so yea! have not tried it yet! i tot like i'ld wait for saturrrrday!
