And so i'm away for a getaway. Welled up with a culmination of emotions, i reckoned that a getaway somewhere would probably do me justice. Spent the whole of yesterday and today at my father's workplace: Tanjong Puteri Golf Resort in Pasir Gudang, Malaysia.
Having cooked mainly Western meals at home, i asked my dad if it was suitable for me to pop my head in the kitchen to learn how to prepare some of the local dishes. It was not a problem - after talking to the head of the F&B department, i ended up right smack in the middle of a busy kitchen. Unfortunately, i felt so immobilized in the kitchen as everyone was speaking in Malay and i had no clue to what the orders were. To make things worse, most of the stuff they threw into the woks were already pre-made the night before so i had no idea what these pastes and curries comprised of.
Nonetheless, i made the best of my time there as i found a chef who was able to communicate in English. Managed to learn how to make roti canai, or more commonly known here in Singapore as roti prata, as well as murtabak, a thin prata-like bread with stuffings in them, from scratch. Although what i wanted to learn was more of the curries, every opportunity to learn new things always excite me, and i remain grateful.
Took the buggy out for a spin too, because Father wanted to take photographs of the animals that reside in his golf course. Visited my aunt for dinner too; her dog is extremely adorable - he mounted a soft toy every other minute and wouldn't let us go when it was time to leave. Here are some photographs that i took from my phone:
