Struggling with Chopsticks

It all started with fried eggs...

I first discovered the use of pans and other cooking utensils when I was in college. Intantly, I became a fan of fried eggs. Needless to say, I experimented and mastered the art of frying eggs. Sunny side up, scrambled, ommelette... My dad love my omelette!

Soon enough i became tired of it. I wanted a new challenge! That's when I started calling home asking my mom how to cook sinigang, adobo and chopseuy. My sinigang was great. The adobo not good enough and my chopseuy... never mind.

But when I got married a year ago and went here in Singapore, that's when my struggle in the kitchen started. I tagged myself a 'struggling cook'. I came here in Singapore having no idea what to serve my husband other than fried eggs and canned food. I don't even know how to use chopsticks ~~here in a chopstick-using country!

Not wanting to be returned by my husband to my parents, I immediately seek the help of cooking magazines. Thank God for cooking magazines, food websites and a sister named Aimee, I learned how to cook good food. I mean real foooood.

I'm not a good cook but I no longer struggle with cooking. I became friends with all the ingredients I never knew existed in supermarkets. Everyday I try to learn a new dish. I already mastered a few dishes and still looking forward to discovering and learning more.

Before I forgot, I also learned how to use the chopsticks. =)
