LADAKH TRIP Day 10

HELLO AGAIN!

Remember our cooking session in Singapore?

Well, it was finally time to put all we learned into use!

We served lunch to approximately 10 teachers and 25 students from Lamdon School, hoping that they would enjoy a taste of what makes Singapore special; it's local cuisine.

The food ICs put a lot of time and effort into every part of the food presentation, with even forks sporting bright yellow ribbons and tags on all available food so that our guests would know what exactly they were about to consume. There was even an educational slide show, portraying each food item, its origin and its part in Singapore culture.

 They started work early in the morning, whilst some of us went to the market to scout for local merchandise. It was tough work, as most of us were not used to cooking food in such gargantuan portions before, especially considering that water was not as conveniently available there as it was in Singapore. We were immensely grateful to our hosts in Oriental Guesthouse for helping us with most of the cooking, which had probably attributed to the fact that food made was actually rather delicious, what more edible.

Our warzone-like preparation area!

According to general observation; we noted that the Ladakhis enjoyed roti prata the most. Which, although would not have actually been a complete surprise to us; is mind-boggling nonetheless because they claim not to have eaten it before. Additionally, most of them could not take the spiciness of the sambal served with the nasi lemak! D:

We, on our part dug in happily into Singaporean food! (at long last!!)

Ladakh-Singapore interaction!

One for the camera! :)

We're off to Delhi next, and it's home sweet home! :)
