Laboratory # 1

OMG! This was the first day of Laboratory and I cannot forget the feeling of wearing the chef jacket for

the very first time. It excites me and I was very proud of who I'm right now. It was quite nervous and I

overthinked a lot—thinking that I might burn what I am cooking. As the laboratory started my nervous

veins were eased because of the aura of our instructor. I can’t describe the leadership skills of our

instructor because it was too good to be describe. Making the chicken lollipops makes me very happy

because when I was a child we tend to check in at Marco Polo Hotel and this food is one of my favorites.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the first day of Laboratory because it was my first time doing the plating stuff

and cooking the dishes on my own. I was very proud of myself that I unlock new skills
 Laboratory 2

Day 2 here we go! Imma broke more legs. LOL. It was totally the same feeling as what I had felt

during the first laboratory. This time I was more confident in cooking. My confidence increases

a little, knowing that I learned some skills during Lab 1. At first look I was like OMG! I guess Lab

2 would be so hard because of the unusual name of the dish but along the way it was simple

with the help of our hardworking instructor. I unlocked new skills again and new friends to

treasure. I was quite proud because I do finish all the dishes at the certain amount of time by

myself.
Laboratory 3

Lab 3 was worst. I was cooking while suffering hangover. I was really short-tempered that time.

Even small dirt irritates me. I am such a mood. LOL. But thanks God, I finished the laboratory

without plates being broken. Last time I was very poor in terms of creativity in making the

design using cream at the top of the soup. This time it was Naruto inspired design, I used the

symbol of the Hidden Leaf Village. Pretty good, right? OMG that was my greatest artwork.

Anyway, it was easy for me this time because I am master in making fried rice and fried eggs.

Guess what? Those two dishes were my specialty. LOL. There are only slight adjustments on

the ingredients that are used but it was only far the same with the fried rice that I used to cook

at home. I guess my plating skills are not good enough but I always strived to be creative. I only

need thousands of practice. Totally it was a good experience by the way.

Laboratory 4

Laboratory 4 was very easy and we are one of the

fastest batch who finished the task early. It is too cute

in making sandwich and canape. I might use this skill

someday in spoiling my wife, just kidding. Seriously I

really learned a lot this laboratory, I learned making

cute canape and how it is done. I also really admire

our facilitator because of the patience and being so

nice to us. It only requires creativity, patience and

proper proportioning of every part.

Laboratory 5.

Our last laboratory is one of my favorites. We finished this part happily. I really love the part in making

Banana Flambe. At first I was very scared of that fire but I faced those fear and let the fire stuff happen.

It really makes me proud because of the fact that I managed to overcome my fears and it makes me look

like a real chef. I was really proud showing my video in performing the flambe to my family and guess

what, they were so proud of me. I really love those salad that I had made. All I can say is a very big thank

you for the opportunity given to me by this school. It really satisfied me trying to master my passion. It

was a dream come true for me since laboratory 1 when I put on my chef hat and jacket. I will treasure all

my learnings and skills that I unlock. Lastly, I just want to say Thank you Sir Billy. I just really admire your

skills.
