Last weekend, I was invited by Samsung Malaysia to give a short cooking demonstration at the “Samsung-Chelsea FC Youth Football Camp" which was held at the Chelsea Blue Pitch @ NPNG Sports Centre, Damansara Damai.
When I was told that the theme for the event was 'healthy living achieved through nutritious food and exercise', I immediately jumped at this wonderful opportunity to showcase simple and nutritious meals which could even be prepared by children!
For this event, I chose to demonstrate three simple dishes i.e. Habanero Roast Chicken served with Steamed Vegetables and Cheddar & Scallion Southern Biscuits. Samsung Malaysia so kindly allowed me to use the "Samsung OmniPro" which is a convention microwave oven.
The Samsung OmniPro was really easy to use and believe it or not, I could roast, steam & bake all three dishes using the same one machine! I was so impressed with how seamless cooking with the Samsung OmniPro was. Just a quick look at the menu settings was all it took to figure out how to work it. That's how user-friendly the Samsung OmniPro is!
I had such a good time demonstrating how fun and simple cooking is to the bunch of eager (and hungry!) kids.
I even managed to get some of them to help me out during my demonstration. They were so polite and helpful!
I'm really happy and honored to have been a part of this great event. Thank you Samsung Malaysia for inviting me!
