Private Class: Dinner Roast Parties - 20 Sept 2014

When Edison Cheang of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) saw one of our cooking classes, Dinner Roast Parties, he was sold that this would be his team building event. He wrote to us and said they were very interested but the company had a smaller budget then the price we advertised on our website. Well, we said "no problem, we help you to fit any budget" and we did. So, the date was set.

The team arrived cheery and chirpy on a bright saturday morning, very excited about their class. Chef Khai explained to the team the recipes and showed cutting and cooking methods to be used before everyone break off to their groups and start cooking! There were lots of cutting, slicing, grilling, baking....all for a yummy treat.

The end results were simply delicious. After all the cooking was over, everyone had a sit down lunch enjoying what they have cooked for the day. The recipes were roast chicken with spinach stuffing, baked potato gratin and saffron rice.

Edison sent us an e-mail and said "It was a splendid event and all my colleagues had so much fun! Looking forward to have another cooking class with you all soon!". You are certainly most welcome Edison and to all at ERM. We were glad you had fun.

What a great way to bond with team mates and spend time away from work. If you would like to do a team building event, give us a call at 016-377 8236 or e-mail us at contact@at19culinary.com. We can help you fit any budget.

Disney Toys Cake

We had to put this cake up on our blog. It was fabulous after we were done with it. Sei Mun came to us to do a Minnie Mouse cake for her daughter, Cheryl's 1st Birthday but she had a special request. She asked us to help her put all the Disney toy toppers she bought on the cake for her. It was indeed a GEM of a cake. Happy Birthday Cheryl. We hope you liked the Disney Toy Cake we did for you!

If you need a special cake for that special occasion, call us at 016-377 8236 or e-mail us at contact@at19culinary.com. We see how we can help. Cheers!

Private Class: UOB Bank Cook Off - 16 Aug 2014

One of my ex-colleague, Veronia Chin suggested to her team at UOB Bank to do something "different" for a change. She was referring to their annual department team building activity. So, she gave our contact to her colleagues, Mimi and Benjamin, who were organising their department's team building event this year.

The organisers wanted to do a departmental cook off a la master chef and have a little cooking competition amongst themselves. They came to us to rent our kitchen studio and have lunch too. We discussed their needs. They came to recce our kitchen studio and the date was set.

Everyone arrived huff and puff with grocery shopping bags from their morning marketing. After the morning welcome and some administrative rules, the cook-off began. There was cutting, grinding, scooping, frying, boiling, washing, talking and laughing along the way.

After 3 hours of gruelling cooking, the dishes were finally completed by the teams and judging began. Winners were announced and it was time to sit down and eat their hard earned lunch. Everyone had great fun.

What a great way to bond with team mates and spend time away from work. If you would like to do a team building event, give us a call at 016-377 8236 or e-mail us at contact@at19culinary.com. We can help you fit any budget.

Cake of the month - Sept 2014

It’s time again for us to feature our “Cake of the month” to showcase what we consider our best custom made order cake. The Cake of the month for Sept is a 2-tier fondant Minion Cake. This was a special cake for little Emma who turned 2. The moist chocolate cake in blue and pink fondant (girl's favourite colour) with the little yellow Minions in their smart blue uniforms "guarding" the cake, looked absolutely fabulous.

When one of our team building customers, Valerie contacted us to do a cake for her daughter's birthday, we were delighted. Valerie wanted a Minion cake and so, we recommended her our design. The decision was quick as the cake as so so cute. A wonderful cake to show off to family and friends at Emma's birthday party!

Cake of the month - Aug 2014

It’s time again for us to feature our “Cake of the month” to showcase what we consider our best custom made order cake. The Cake of the month for Aug is a 2-tier Macarons Cake. This was a special cake to celebrate Abby's 21st birthday. The moist chocolate cake filled and frosted with chocolate ganache looked fabulous.

When Abby whatsapp us to do a Macarons cake, she sent us so many designs. She couldn't make up her mind as to the final design and so, we helped her out. We discussed what is it she liked about the cake pictures she sent over and we recommended her a final design marrying some of the cake designs from the pictures. Abby was happy with the final result and so were we. Great cake to show off to family and friends at her birthday party!

Private Class: Neural Tech - 21 July 2014

Julia of Neural Tech thought that it would be good fun to have a team building cookout in the last week of the fasting month and then break fast eating what they have cooked together. We thought it was a superb idea too.

The team had a fantastic learning experience with Chef Khai cooking Malaysian Flavours comprising Kerabu Pucuk Paku, Ayam Percik and Bubur Cha-Cha. The dishes were then served with drinks, ketupat and satay sauce compliments from us. It was indeed a hearty buka puasa meal indeed. Everyone enjoyed cooking and tasting their food after.

What a great way to bond with team mates and spend time to relax away from work. If you would like to do a team building event, give us a call at 016-377 8236 or e-mail us at contact@at19culinary.com. We can help you fit any budget.
