An Error of Judgment... and a New Dish is Born!

When I was at home, I didn't cook very regularly. Usually only the odd instant noodles or pasta. But since I've been here, I've had to cook for myself... Bo pian, ya know?

Lots of people have been asking me: You can cook meh?

Eh... never cook doesn't mean can't cook ok?

In my opinion, I CAN cook (you can judge for yourself later on) and I've never had a major disaster that resulted in inedible food or food poisoning.

But I'm human... and humans make mistakes.

Last night, I decided to have fried rice (not so much that I wanted to eat fried rice but rather I have to clear the fridge before I leave).

All was going well until I decided the rice was too dry and I should add some water to it. Un-bloody-fortunately, I was distracted (thinking about what to pack/not to pack with me on my trip) and I added too much water... Result?

Mushy fried rice...

I'm not fussy when others cook for me. But I'm fussy when I cook for myself. One needs to have some standards...

But since I've got such fantastic culinary skills (haha!), I decided I can salvage my dinner.

WITH CHEESE

Final end product?

SUPER YUMMY BAKED RICE!!
