Last Day of Class SP2

TODAY is the last day of class in uni meaning final exam is around the corner.

Just to summary what I been doing this week was on Monday(8/6/09), I have invited friends to come over my house to taste my modified version of chicken curry. The intention for doing so was to fill a sensory evaluation form about the dish in order for me to write a discussion on my assignment which is due today.


The curry was different to way that usually cooked at home,where i have replaced the coconut with low fat milk as well as the apples were added into the dish. From the original recipe, it just stated the ingredients but did not mentioned the method to cook it. Therefore, I just used my own way to cook it and ended the curry was watery due to the amount of water I have added.

Overall to conclude the curry, it was not salty because i did not added any salt where I just put curry powder. I also added a lot of vegetables besides purely chicken, so the appearance of the curry looked like vegetarian curry. haha =)

Based on the case study given from the assignment, below are the comparison ingredients between before and after of the chicken curry:

Original
800g chicken thigh fillets
2 tsp curry powder
1 can coconut milk
20ml peanut oil
4 tbsp chicken curry paste
2 cup white rice (raw)

Modified Version
800g chicken thigh fillets
4 tbsp curry powder
2 cup low fat milk
1 tbsp olive oil
3 potato
2½ cup carrot
2½ long bean
2 apples
2 cup water
2 cup white rice (raw)

Meanwhile yesterday (11/6/09), I just have my Japanese oral test. There are 2 session in the oral test. Part 1 we can prepared it before the test where the situation is about you just newly arrived at a city in Japan to study and going to meet a Japanese person who live in that city who has been corresponding with you via mail but never met. First you need to find each other than ask information about facilities in the city and ended the conversion by making arrangement to have lunch together next time.

The duration of this task was 2 minutes where each person was allocated 1 minutes for the conversation. In this task 1, me and my friend manage to memorise the conversation without looking at our papers although there are few error during starting part of the conversation. Overall we were able to deliver the conversation smoothly. As for task 2, we were required to allocated the items from the picture given by asking each other question. This section was okay where I manage to read the katagana and hiragana because there were a lot verbs we havent learned in the class.

As for today, it was the last of class in this semester. There are not many people attended this morning lecture because there are assignment due today and we all stay up late to finish it since yesterday. From today lecture, I roughly have a idea what are expectation of information required to write in the exam because this course Food Quality and Regulation consists various technical stuffs to learn.

For the final exam, I will have my 1st paper on 25 June 09. 27 June 09 is my Japanese exam and the last paper in on 4 July 09.

That all for now.
