The session starts off with a 4-course modern Chinese set lunch at their restaurant (the food was really delicious, we'd definitely go back again), followed by the cooking demo and a little hands-on for participants. Forest taught us how to make red ruby (yay, I will try it next time for house parties) while the husband shared his chilli crab recipe with us. The chilli crab tasted really good (they gave us fresh fleshy Sri Lankan crabs) but we're quite doubtful if we would ever be up to killing live crabs at home. Suspect we'll at most attempt chilli prawns if we're feeling hardworking (preparing blending the various ingredients for the sauce is a lot of work!)
a murderous moment..
blended ingredients to go into the sauce..
I really liked Forest as she was very sincere and personable. I really didn't expect her to be so warm since you know, they are celebrity chefs... Sam was relatively funny and approachable too, but I still like his wife better. Was pretty surprised/impressed too that the chefs themselves did the washing up after the demos.
Btw, don't you think Forest looks like a certain local politician?? :P
On a not-so-related note, you can head over to my other blog for some photos of my exam bakes for my professional baking class, if you're interested to take a look! :)
