Jean, Priority Member:

I was involved in the “purchasing-of-food-preparation part” for RBKD’s weareone: our fourth chapter:)

Together with Ming and Xinyi, we made our way to an ulu part of Woodlands on a Saturday morning. To me, it felt like excursion day but with a purpose to it and that purpose is to buy food :) Hahaha! But not only for me but also for fellow Rangels :) Hahahaha!

Buying food to feed about 30 people was seriously no joke because the total amount of frozen food was estimated to have weighed 12KG!:O The buying part is fun because I guess I will never buy that much of food at one shot in my life.. Hahaha!

First stop was to get frozen food like seaweed chicken, chicken wing, popcorn chicken and chicken nuggets. :)

After that, we went to check out the sashimi where we had to enter a freezer at a temperature of -18 degree celsius. It was like entering Snow City just that it was smaller, somewhere in the north side instead of the west and missing the snow factor. Hahaha!

Next stop was Lot 1 to get the rest of the stuff which includes the necessity for a party such as trays, cutleries and etc and not to forget more FOOD:D

And the day ended with the last purchase which was a packet of bee hoon because we kept on forgetting to get it.

Yan Ling, Committee:

Somehow on this day, I just felt so excited to be able to meet each other again :)

When it was time for May Yen to pick me up from my place to get all the food, I took out all the food from my freezer and seriously, preparation for about 30 people was no kid. I was so :O at the amount of food that we have bought! My freezer was almost empty by the time I took out the 3 big bags of food!

Then, we started to experiment how to get our beehoon base for our trays and all we got was sort of chao-tao beehoon. Never did we expect such “nuclear reaction” to happen when the oil was hot enough! The beehoon was like *KABOOMZ* into white beehoon within a few seconds and it was so amazing and cool!! #swakoo.

TADA~

The Magical Process~

After laying the beehoon bed for our trays, we started frying all the food and I had the 重任 to ensure that all the food are cooked! ^^ That means, I 不厌其烦-ly tried all the freshly fried food! :D “Finger licking good” indeed! Thank you May Yen & your helper for all the help!

All looking good and ready to be packed!
