Life As I See It

My kids at school were so psyched today. I’ve never seen them that excited.

I’ve planned this cooking session with them over the past weeks to show them what else we can do with fruits. This was my BM topic for the week ; Buah - buahan Tropika. Initially I wanted to make some kuih cempedak but the thought of peeling and dissecting the gooey cempedak turned me off.

Plus, they love pisang. They squealed with joy when I announced "We are making kuih pisang".

Most of them couldn’t take the idea of a jackfruit fritter. Strange.

Anyway, here was our fun lesson!

I laid out everything on the table first, all with labels.

Then,

I assigned each on eof them a job ; some cutting the pisang, some mashing it up.

As you can see, they were sooo excited.

"Ms. Lisa!! I want to have a go at mashing the pisang..pleeaaassee"

Look at me garangly instructing the kid to bin the banana peels.

I used Pisang Raja, which isn’t the best for kuih. But that was the only thing available at CKS.

Then,

sprinkle gula, garam, soda bikarbonat and a little vanilla essence…

and then.. "adunkan kesemua bahan - bahan tadi sehingga sebati.."

and we’re ready to Goreng it!

Lastly, wait till it turns brown and pray that it tastes good!

After this point, it was all frenzy in that room. The kids grabbed their cekodok pisang and gobbled it down.

‘Ms. Lisa..it’s reaaallly good! You really can cook.Can I have more pleeeaaassee"

Best day of my life. =)
