When did you start to learn to cook

Ever wondered, when did we start to learn to cook? For some people, maybe when they were a child, they picked up their cooking from their mother (mostly). Otherwise, it would be in sec 1 when we all had to go for home econs lessons.

And what was the first thing you learn to cook? Interesting, maybe we should have a vote here. I bet it's instant noodles. oh yes, talking about instant noodle, i will dedicate a post to that later.

Yup, if i remember correctly, the first thing i learn to cook was instant noodles. I remember Steff and I used to go over to auntie sally's house to stay during the weekend or school holidays. We would eat instant noodles for lunch every day. We would add green vegetables, black mushroom and eggs. I also remember that at that time, we had to boil the noodles first and 'wash away' the wax that was used in the manufacturing of instant noodles, otherwise, if we eat too much instant noodles, we would have a layer of wax in our stomach and intestines. Remember this saying?

Then slowly during secondary school days, I remember my first home econs lesson was to cook french toast. Then fried rice. I don't know why i had memories of these two dishes. No, I didn't start a fire in the kitchen. I also remembered there was a test in Sec 2, the main ingredient was eggs. So I steam eggs, egg, century egg and salted eggs. It was simple and i think it was called something like 3 color eggs.

Over the years, after getting married and having children, we slowly increase our repertoire of recipes and cooking skills. I did have some mistakes like forgetting to add salt, the vegetables turned out tasteless. I did have the experience of having to fight with the splashing oil. I did have the experience of frying eggs, which i will elaborate in the next post. I only dare say that my cooking is ok, palatable to the taste buds. No expert, still learning in the process.

and so the feeling to start this blog to share my experiences.
