Lose to Win Filming

For 2 wks I have been helping to film the lose to win Challenge by HPB. Even with the extra filiming and everything, I was able to "take" it. However, yesterday's filming really put a down to everything and I am really very upset.

Well! Actually I will be doing a disservice to healthier eating cause I have "screwed" up cooking the dish. With reduced fat coconut milk and skin off chicken drumnsticks, the chicken actually will taste well if there is enough time to slowly the dish till all imgredients were tender and could melt in mouth. The onions would have disappeared, the carrots,potatoes and meat cooked through and soft.

However, without factor in time constraints, the chicken was not tasty enough and vegetables were not fully cooked. with little time, I should have marinate the chicken wiht curry powder but I did not so the dish which only took about 15 mins to prepare is a total; failure. Should have sliced everything into thinner slices and marinate the chicken properly.

Well! I am prepared to be a laughing stock on TV for a while la. Not really a great cook so I can now hang my apron and leave cooking to maid or any one else.

The fact that people might think low fat is not the way to cook worries me. Actually cooking healthily is good for health. Coming back singapore and eating outside regularly has taken a toll on my body and I have proof as I put on so much weight ater coming back home from Australia. My family ate home-cooked healthy meals there and we are really what we eat. Singapore's hawkers' food is nice but somehow what goes in the dish is really undesirable.

If I can redo what I did yesterday, I will gladly do so. However, what's done cannot be undone so going to brave it all.

Btw hated the fact that I was the "Lousy" cook and everyone just treated it like a big joke. One of my friend commented it tasted like what grandma used to taste and presenter said his grnadma must be a lousy cook. What a crude way to comment and it's such an insult to his grandma and to me. I went through the filming from 8 plus to 10n plus feeling simply sian and defeated and no mood to do anything.

Somehow yesterday not my day. Rushing to fetch Janet and was late as I was held up at nealy every traffic light. Total 12 and I took nearly twice the time to reach there. After that, driving to Redhill and was nearly late again. Hate the fact that things do no turn out well. It's really quite a tedious thing to drive. Yesterday after sending the other 4 participants back, I was home at 11.40pm.

Can I face the crew again with dignity? Maybe not as I think I am really affected by my cooking outcome. Well! wish me luck to go through this filming.
