Im learning how to cook!! There must be some of you wondering “SO’, isn't it? But the fact is, it is a big move on my side. Besides maggi mee and spaghetti, I can hardly cook anything! Not even tea! (Count 3 in 1 tea out of this). Previously whenever my mom yells at me to learn how to cook, I would simply tell her I preferred to 'cook' the cure for whatever happens to whomever who eats my food first, which means medicine.
So anyway, my first attempt for cooking started last week when I made eggs for the delicious finger-licking nasi lemak my younger sister did. The results were terrible!! The eggs were burnt, spicy (I dropped loads of pepper into it) and shockingly dry only to realize I forgot to put enough oil to cook the eggs (so much for my calorie counting). Then the second time, I cooked mee goreng mamak pedas. Everything was prepared perfectly. Not wanting to do the same mistake again I even put enough oil to drown all the onions. Just as I was confidently cooking, dreaming that one day I would be better than chef wan, the fire got into the pan, burning everything, (till now I don't know how it happened) leaving me with 'black mee-oil-soup'.
The third attempt was ok, where I tried to do Indian style cabbage dish, only it was extra spicy and sweet (instead of salt I ter-put sugar). Even the chapatti I made was tolerable, although it was thick, funny shaped instead of round and, amusingly, even though after cooking, I could still taste the flour (my grandma said it wasn't even cooked!!). But hey, at least I didn't burn anything this time..
