Countries Food Battle # ITB Summer School ITB

Food battle between the countries was held .

All of us tried the best came out with the best dish that represented our country, with the tight budget  200k rp.The budget 200k rp for 44 persons portions, really limited our desired for luxury food. It hurted our brain to think of the best food which is cheap , easy , delicious, and full with flavor of “Malaysia ” inside of it.

One day before the battle day, we went for ingredients shopping in the every early morning. (We decided to get those fresh ingredient in Indonesia traditional morning market ) Believe me, morning market sell in double times cheaper than hyperm art with air conditioner. This trick really help us cut down budget , and add more dishes with the money.

The small open area was facilitated with stoves and kitchen accessories. Okay lets started our cooking battle.

I was helping my friends with the MALAY KUIH(pastry) making process. This kuih wasn’t something that I really fond with. Still self-cook always full of satisfying, I gave my team 10 out of 10 marks, 10/10 .

We took turns in making process. I slipped myself around  for fresh air gasping. Everyone were so busy with their cooking.
