Mmm Mmm, GOOD!

(So this is my realllly late food challenge blog)

From what I remember, I remember feeling real damn good about what we made that day. I'd have to say that our competition was a close one. Before the challenge, our group didn't really have any idea to how we were gonna mix the Asian & American dishes together. We first came up with a list of some easy Vietnamese dishes we could make since there were plenty to choose from on the American side.

Making the dishes were pretty fun to do, but time consuming as well. Although we cooked up the foods for the first time the night before the challenge, our first batch turned out great. Our first dish was a mix of the cobb salad (American) and lemongrass chicken (Vietnamese). What I liked most about the dish was that the salad was a good and simple complement to the spiced up chicken and the sauce mixed both dishes together. The second dish was a mix of garlic shrimp (American) with Spring Rolls (Vietnamese. What I like most about it was that although the dish looked exactly like a regular Vietnamese spring roll, it tasted so different from it because of the shrimp.

What I enjoyed most about this competition was the fact that we, as a group pulled through in doing it. We made the most of what we had by means of skill and ideas and did the best we could with them. I'm glad that we made some awesome dishes to present to the class (:
