Pastry Chaos

It's Thursday. Who doesn't love Thursday? i LOVE Thursday, simply because Thursday we'll have either 5hours of break; or pastry class with the charming Chef Karam that can turn flour to gold; it's the last day of the week; it's relaxing - so why not love Thursday?

Not this perticular Thursday though - 16th august 2007. As usual, all of us prep up in our chef uniform and off we go to the pastry kitchen, strange as it seems.. when June and I were approaching there there's still a lot of them standing by the corridor. I went to check, and yes.. Chef Patrick is inside with his students. Where's Chef Karam? everyone is asking, no idea. Anyway, some of us went in and some just went off. Chef Patrick started off something like this.


Chef Karam is on MC, those who is not in their full uniform you're
welcome to get out of the class.

All of us panicked, because i can say most of us are 'incomplete', some without scarf; some without apron; some without the safety shoes on.. bla bla bla.. So off we went to put on what we're suppose to. When i check around the numbers of us, only half of us left, obviously the rest are not interested in his class. We had his class once, strict and lean guy. Tougher than the meat we over-cooked. Then, he shoot us another bullet.


Where's your fiche technique?
(Everyone look at everyone)
Er... Sir, we don't have it.
What do you mean by you don't have it? you're suppose to
have it with you. No recipe, no class.
But sir, all these while out chef write the recipe on the whiteboard
and then we copy from there.
That's your responsibilities as a student, go get your fiche technique.
I'll come back in 20minuts, if you guys still don't have your fiche technique
then you can say hi hi and bye bye to me.



Off he went.
Phew.
Shit.
Where are we suppose to get the recipe?
It's not in BB6.
Karam is not Here.
We are


DEAD


We were there discussing what to do and then we decided to go and find other chefs to get the recipe. finally Chef Chong gave us the recipe. When we got back into the pastry kitchen, Philbert exclaimed:


Just now Chef Karam is here!
I thought he is on MC?
Don't know! he came in.. and then he went out.


RIgghhhttt.. what are we suppose to do now? Just as all of us were panicking, our hero with clogs like you see what goblins wear stormed into the classroom, it's our beloved Chef Karam! He didn't sink afterall!


Sorry i'm late, i had to bring my wife to the hospital.


Are you kidding me? We're more than thankful you're back here. We then started off with the Genoise Sponge. Then a lady came in and started doing something at the back, she's baking some cookie. After that we started to help Chef Karam with his charity cookies. Thursday is fun. Thursday is alive!


June: I don't make this!



Are you hungry? these freshly baked cookies smells like heaven.


Cream.Sponge.Batter.


The manual guide for Chef Karam, you'll be surprise there's 2 beautiful girls inside
this file. What are you thinking? it's his daughters.


The base for the fruit tarts.


While Chef is not around to get something, Shannon took over to be the King.


June shall me my slave for the rest of my life.


I'm gonna kill the king.



I don't know why, i just want to laugh when i look at June's face.


Tell me how not to gain weight when you see this?


We help Chef to 'clean up' the edge he cut from the brownies, taste wonderful.



This is the blissful look.



Cute cookies eh?


Chef Karam always make us something nice to eat, for this week he made us carrot cake! "This could be the best carrot cake in the world" he said, and yes, it is.


I want to relive the taste.

I think the carrot cake is so good Atika's gonna pass out.
