Make Your Masterchef Fantasies A Reality With A Little Help From This Cooking School
You know how in Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon Ramsay is always yelling at the chefs for serving raw scallops and beef wellingtons? You’d think that after half a season, they’d at least be able to serve cooked food. Jeez, how difficult is it to cook?
We at DiscoverSG decided to try our hand at cooking, and barely a minute into pounding a mixture of chili, shallots and garlic, we understood: being a chef is tough.
Sure, we love cooking. It’s fun and–dare we say–worth the hard work. But as food enthusiasts looking to improve our culinary skills without having to spend a bomb, we know how impossible that task is. So imagine our excitement when we discovered culinary lessons that are not only taught by professional chefs, but are also absolutely free. Well, sort of.

[caption id="attachment_24071" align="alignnone" width="1600"]
Look how inviting everything is![/caption]
After donning our aprons, we were attached to Executive Chef Brenda Chew, previously a Pastry Chef at Jamie’s Italian Sydney, and Chef Instructor Loreta Valdez, who conducts classes for domestic helpers.
Working in pairs, some of us had fun kneading our own pasta dough for the Fresh Pasta with Vongole while the others meticulously chopped and pounded the ingredients for the Thai Green Curry paste.
[caption id="attachment_24073" align="alignnone" width="1200"]
Making pasta from scratch![/caption]
With a printout of the detailed recipe and your very own chef instructor, we have to say it is nearly impossible for you to set anything on fire. Not only are the instructors professional and patient, their passion is sure to bring out your inner chef!

After an hour-long crash course in cooking, we had on our table the Fresh Pasta with Vongole, Thai Papaya Salad and Thai Green Chicken Curry.
[caption id="attachment_24076" align="alignnone" width="1200"]
Panna Cotta with Seasonal Fresh Fruit Compote[/caption]
For dessert, we whipped up a fresh batch of Panna Cotta with Seasonal Fresh Fruit Compote.
Were they delicious? Yes. Would we do it again? Definitely, especially when the classes can be covered by That’s right, with approximately thirty different parliament house! A two-day session at $250 per person that is claimable with your SkillsFuture Credit, get ready to learn to cook everything from pasta to pastries!
Besides giving us the recipe to take home, Brenda also said we could give her a ring should we encounter problems re-creating the dish. That alone is sweeter than our handmade desserts!
So if you’re a wannabe Masterchef looking for a place to start, we highly recommend heading to Palate Sensations for a taste of what its like being a professional chef in a very professional kitchen.
Now if you excuse us, we’ve got some Panna Cotta to re-create.

6 Best Places For A Customised Burger So You Can Really Have It Your Way
These Poké Bowls Are Worth Poking Your Forks And Spoons Into!
Joining the latest #eatclean craze within our little red dot are Poké bowls. With no relation to Pokémon, Poké bowls (pronounced ‘poh-kay’) actually originated from tropical Hawaii.
If you are not sure what a Poké bowl consists of, it is essentially a Hawaiian-inspired Chirashi don – slices of raw fish such as tuna or salmon with your choice of rice or greens, topped with sesame seeds, seaweed or other topping variations.
With the slew of Poké bowls popping up around Singapore, it is only a matter of time before we succumb to this latest healthy food trend. If you have finally decided to jump on the bandwagon, here are some Poké bowls in Singapore worth poking your forks and spoons into!
1. A Poke Theory
If you have a considerable appetite and are a little nitpicky about your food, A Poke Theory is the perfect place for you. Here at A Poke Theory, there is no such thing as a signature poké bowl. Whether you prefer sushi rice as opposed to lettuce or tuna as your choice of sashimi, you get to customise your poké bowl just the way you like it!
[caption id="attachment_22720" align="aligncenter" width="1000"]
Credit: Credit: 2. Aloha Poké
As one of the pioneering poké bowl places in Singapore, Aloha Poké brought a taste of Hawaii back to our sunny little island in 2014 and helped kick-start the poké bowl food trend! With fresh and generous amounts of tuna and salmon, paired with a wide selection of add-ons and superfoods, you can indulge in a hearty bowl of healthy goodness, minus the guilt factor.
[caption id="attachment_22723" align="aligncenter" width="1999"] For a wholesome and budget-friendly poké bowl, you should absolutely make a trip down to Katto! This quick-service restaurant serves up some delicious poké bowls with a Singaporean twist. On top of the locally-inspired flavours, you can expect a Katto bowl of healthy carbs and protein, and of course, not forgetting the fresh premium sashimi! [caption id="attachment_22729" align="aligncenter" width="900"] Katto Nestled within the hipster PasarBella in Suntec City, Rollie Ollie is an Asian fusion restaurant with a touch of Californian style. Known for its made-to-order fresh sushi rolls, Rollie Ollie also offers appetising Asian- inspired poké bowls that are full of flavour and texture!
