Cooking Class at Coriander Leaf
The company tries to do something fun and team building each year. The year before this was prawning, last year it was paintball (I had an emergency wisdom tooth extraction and missed this), and this year, we headed to Coriander Leaf restaurant in Clark Quay for a cooking class.
It's a fun class - pricey, but fun. Your staff is broken up into teams, which contribute to lunch by making parts of the meal. I'm thinking of replicating it in my house for new years'.
Here's the pristine kitchen before we wreaked havoc
The island counter top with vent and stoves - note another one in background, plus oven
We got there at 1030am and had a quick round of photos and drinks first
The CEM team
The Finance/Admin team
The Policy Research team
Putting on the plastic apron
Finally everyone's in and ready to go!
This was our team "Sure Win" (named by C! I told her she condemned our team to hubris with that name)
We made three dishes - minced kebab (more like a patty, really):
We also made a Vietnamese prawn roll, with the "Marina Bay Sands" gardens by the bay.
What did I make? If you squint carefully enough, you'll see this small cup of peanut paste: that's what I made.
I know, I know, it's puny - but not that I can't cook; that's just what I got when we drew for the recipes!
Chick Peas
Banana Crepe Roll (this was seriously delicious)
Duck rolls
Samosa
Having a well-deserved meal
The winning team "The Expendibles" - or "The Expandables", depending on your waistline
Here's my team, with me in the hat - yes, I got an award: Sexiest Chef, for apparently rolling the Vietnamese rolls "lovingly" (I'm fairly sure it was a consolation prize -it replaced the "Don't Quit Your Day Job" prize, which was deemed too demotivational)
Here's everyone, with the Best Chef, Serial Killer Chef and Sexiest Chef from left to right (we're all holding decorated paper chef hats Libellés : food, working life
