Ever wonder...

Ever wonder how pastries are produced? I mean croissant and danish pastry here. Just to show glimpse of how it's done. Pics are not taken by me. It's my friend's camera. All these are from Family Week. It's related from the previous post that I posted on pastry.

It's danish pastry. 'slit' the edges.

And you see pastry dough on the..table

Mariam & lect is 'folding' the dough

The far left is the danish pastry dough while the 1 nearer
is croissant dough. Notice any difrerence?
(Actually I don't..is there any?)

Folding the dough.
Making the fan

Croissants that are waiting to be baked
Notice the piece of thingy underneath?
I wanted to get 1 of them.

Danish pastry waiting to be baked.
That piece of thing is nice to use
but it's DAMN expensive.

It's me with the croissant. I sux in posing.

Overview of what everybody is doing.
Majority of them are my seniors.

Rolling the left-over dough to make more croissant.

Hester & me with the roller.

The function of the roller? Cutting dough of course!
I heard it costed a bomb.

Danish pastry waiting to be baked

I like this thing. I mean the custard in the middle.

Cinnamon rolls

Croissant again.

Ever wonder how a crab can end up in a bunch of croissant?
I also don't know.

Done with the crab. Notice any prawn here?

You have a crab and prawn from a bunch of croissant.
Now, there'll be seafood croissant from us sometime.

I like the fan thing! @@
I got fed up with croissant
I like danish pastry
but NOT too much
I'm going to have phobia on every single food.

Basically, I did not show how-to-make anything in this post tho =p

Seafood - class

Learnt about seafood yesterday. The only thing is good about yesterday's class is that we didn't get scold DURING the whole thing. The worst part is during the END of the class, regarding the final exam for this coming 27.

Fish & Chips
The breading looks pretty. Taste wise.. it is still OKAAY.

Sefood 'TEMPURA'
It doesn't even look like the usual tempura we see anyway
Taste..? I don't know. I don't have any impression of it altho I tasted it.

My group's Seafood Newburg
It's scallop with prawn. It's HARD to handle SCALLOPS!!
I don't like my own work this time. It's SALTY!
Tried to safe it numerous of times, but still SALTY @@
I forgot about the scallops... I mean they produce water.
I forgot that the butter is.. salty. Basically, it's SALTY!
But I like the texture of my scallop.
I like the 'fishy' smell but my lecturer doesn't so, we got scold anyway.
=p

I don't know how to present my food.
My bechamel sauce is not 'appealing' enough compare to other groups.

I-don't-know-what-fish-dish
It's fish in some sort of sauce that I forgot the name
Lect say the fish is not cooked yet. I'm not sure about it
We just eat whatever we can eat in the class anyway
Some more, I like RAW fish anyway... I mean SALMON la

Another I-dunno-the-name-of-the-dish
VERY salty. I don't know why but all the dishes are quite salty.

Overview of what is cooked yesterday minus the fried calamari.

How many times did I repeat the word 'SALTY' today?

Pastry anyone?

Today is Parents Day and as the name suggested, its a day for parents to come. Went to the kitchen for some volunteer work and here are half of our 'stashes' from the kitchen.

The message left by the 'rat' who stole some of Chef Adi's choco yesterday

Croissant & Danish pastries

Croissant without egg wash and the 'cinnamon-roll-like-thing' is Mariam's creation

Cinnamon roll
I don't enjoy them, so I don't quite like it.

Croissant
I'm okay with croissant but handling so much of them in/outside of the body, I don't think I want them anytime soon.
I don't know how many layers is this. Don't get influenced by Yakitate!Japan.
I'm lazy to look for a GOOD looking croissant in my bag of pastry. So be it ba.

1 of the Danish Pastry.
I don't know the name. Too many names actually from fan, wheel and so on.
I like this 1 alot. Maybe it's because of the custard in the middle.

Danish pastry crust.
If only croissant's crust is like this..mmm

How we take away our food is.. kinda scary.
From this picture, it reminds me of operation more than food @@

Getting fat for the whole course is not suprising eh?

Vege/ Salad - class

Learnt about making salad today. Nothing much to talk about during the class. It's basically doing something following the recipe. It's kinda pretty you know? Decorating and stuff.

Russian Salad in process

Segmented oranges by Wei Mun

My group's original look of Florida Salad
