Buzzing Cashier

Yes Buzzing Cashier..but not mine LOL...

Today was asked to go for this TV filming, or rather food tasting for the above mentioned show. M asked me along.. so I dragged Serene too since she is so free...

Kym Ng n Quan Yifeng are the hosts. Funnie n cute girls.. not to mention SEXY!.. later u know why hehe




We are going to taste JAPANESE food at a hawker center at Bedok.

Apparently the shop is like a restaurant makeover kind of show.. they will train the owner culinary skill due to poor biz or sth like that. Then appx 1 month later.. we r invited to go for food tasting and make coments and to pass/fail them.

Seriously speaking.. I hardly liek to eat jap food outside Jap restaurant.. i think the 1st/last I ate was recently at CP and thats becos I have nuthg else to eat... and it sucks of cos


Lets see how this one fares...


Loads of waiting since I think they need to set up the props..
While waiting.. we happily take photos... snap snap snap




The 2 pretty host and my new found friends who are all foodie like me.

Ah yes... the stall we went to..





2 dishes we tasted



Fried Salmon





Chicken Cutlet Don




And so.. what do u tink is my verdict?


Im a fussy eater if u dunno.. I eat anything..but noe anythg pleases me...

And I DO NOT eat cooked salmon.

And its a difficult choice to make...


The sauce for the fish was salty.. which is supposed to be so?? cos they wan to compliment it with white rice...

The fish was FISHY as usual since missy me dun take cook fish..

The taste of the saltish sauce linger on for hours.. despite i drank alot of water.


The Don. was ermmmmm not good either...

Chicken cutlet was cut way too big.. not dainty like the jap style.. thou I knw taste is impt.. but its as bad as the cutlet was soggy not crispy.

The rice was dry(no sauce at all) and when QYF came to ask us... she was shock that I said its dry n tasteless.. seems like some ppl got theirs with gravy.. loads of it..while some dont... standard not consistent...


heres whats left..






Nothg left it may seem.. but thats becos we are to share the portion..and we din have BF n Lunch ok... tsk tsk hahaa

Judging time...

We put a bowl on the table.. to count the amount of votes..they need 20 votes to get a pass... and 30 is the limit. U stack ur bowl on the table if u pass them... put it in the pail if u fail them..



They got a freaky 28!

WHY?? all pppl say not nice not nice but they gave thema pass.. me too... compassion??? MAYBE!




Stall owner w the host...

Now U knw why i say they sexy?? look at their pretty leggy legs... damn jealous alrite!

With the hot pants and boots.. of cos sexy!



In the afternoon we went to Tanjong Pagar for the nxt filming.

MUFFINS!

I KNOW its doomsday for whoever who is baking this hahaa...



I did not take much pic of it cos i was totaly not v confident bout it..a nd yes im right...



A supposedly hotel chef was to trained the owner to make muffin as her org cupcake
muffin was too heavy n dense that sporean did not like..

Chef job was to teach her hw to make some light n tasty cupcake
muffin...



Well.. here goes...



Can u identify what is wat??

WE CANT!! cos no one tell us wat flavour to expect.. aft a good 5 mins of debating.. we decided we shld jus pinch n try .. hoping the taste will give some clues.

U know what... out of the 6 muffins... 6 tasted the SAME.. they look diff in some way but not too diff...

Its a stingy cupcakemuffin... cos the fruits like cranberry, banana, blueberry were SOOO miserable that we can barely smell or taste... the onli easy one was oreo cos idiot knew its oreo from the colour ...

The banana one ... it was like we have to fin the whole cupcakemuffin before we c and managed to identify the banana... how terrible...

Fruits like raisin sink to the bottom of the cupcake
muffin..


The only thing.. the Cupcake muffin is v light n soft.. like cupcake.. yes CUPCAKE.. now u know why i got so many cupcake
all over the post??? cos I cant help but keep typing cupcake lar!!!!!!

and yes.. I failed them this round... cos we cant taste the distinct difference in the diff flavour at all.. too little yummies in it... Im sorry...
alot of -ve comment during the recording... everyone want to fail them...

The method of rating is by taking cupcakemuffin (SEE!Im still saying cupcake!) fr the basket.. 1 per pax.. uc an choose not to if u fail them...
30 muffin in all for us to take.

we tot they will fail.. but i also guess they will pass..reason being..singaporean being singaporean.. not nice.. free one also take! and thus.. they got a score of 25... ya the other 5 are from us!! I seriously cant believe this is hotel chef standard...
OBVIOUSLY he does not share or impart all his supposed to b skill to help this owner.

For the owner to fail or lose any votes.. i tink it reflects that the trainer themselves lose doubly hard. AGREE? Its they who taught... with no good teacher..hw can a student excel?

Ok u can catch this show soon on channel 8...

nonetheless.. I learnt alot today... and its really fun...
