Spice Odessy

On 7 October, Friday, was my class's Spice Odessy. Something like Final Year Proj. We had abt 2 months to plan. Each team was given a Spice Kingdom & my group got 'Culinary'. So we had to plan our 4 canapes according to our Kingdom. Lucky for us, Culinary was an easy Kingdom which we could practically come up with any dish.
The other 3 Kingdoms were, 'Rainbow', 'Aroma' & 'Beauty & Wellness'. We had to sketch out our ideas & show it to Chef WB. He helped change some stuff here & there. We practiced our canapes & brought it to school to seek for approval from Chef WB.
On the actual day itself, i was really happy that my mum could attend! (: I knew she would love it cause every group had a different concept & theme! It was truly an amazing experience! Everyone was so nervous! My group rehearsed our presentation like 5-6 times tt day. Lol.
