TheSmartLocal team had the pleasure of going down to their premises at Ah Hood Road to participate in The Kitchen Challenge, Cookyn Inc’s signature event recommended for groups of 14 pax onwards. Here’s how our experience went.
We were given one and a half hours to complete the tasks assigned to us. Our host for the day Amanda was really enthusiastic in getting us in the mood for some serious cooking.
THEN. We realised the reason for the generous time period.
Amanda, suddenly told us to stop doing whatever we were doing. Each group was handed an envelope with a small budget. With it we could buy anything we wanted to, either to supplement our existing dishes or to create new ones. We had 30 minutes to plan, grocery shop and return with our items.
Seeing as we only had a limited budget, we felt a green papaya salad would be a perfect addition. We had extra vegetables and vermicelli from the fresh rolls and decided to use them in the salad as well. Alas when we arrived at the supermarket at Zhongshan mall which is 5 minutes away from Cookyn Inc, there were no green papayas OR green mangoes OR canned tapiocas or anything that we had in mind.
With 10 minutes left, we decided on substituting the green papayas with granny smith apples and hoped for the best.
We were scored on several aspects of the challenge, including creativity and presentation. I am proud to say my team won! We received a mystery prize at the end of the challenge.
Everyone in the kitchen was able to participate, regardless of whether you were a closet masterchef or a complete cooking noob. The best part about this experience was having to sit down at the end to savour the fruits of our labour. We loved our food so much some of us even brought some portions back!
