Ramlee Day!!! By: The Boss No comments

Hello there my culinary friends and aspiring chefs!! This is YOUR week!

After almost a year's wait...its BACK!! Yeap...COOKARAMA 2008 is happening THIS SUNDAY! Time to dust off the cobwebs that's been gathering on our chef's hat and serve up a meal fit for a king! And hey...after holding the title for almost a year, its time for the E-rangers to hand over the trophy back to the judges and once again, its time for every patrol to battle it out over the kuali and fire to determine a worthy winner to be crowned our 2008 Cookarama champions!

This year, we've got a pretty cool theme for you guys and girls...after much thinking and discussion, we came up with a simple question...

"What's the HAPPIEST BURGER in the world??"

And you might probably already know the answer. Yeap, its called...

BURGER-MBIRA!!! :)

Ok, I can still hear some of you rolling on the floor laughing while clutching your bellies...enough enough. And so, you have your theme. Remember...its a day of BURGERS! Anything and everything about burgers goes! If you feel that a certain new ingredient would taste good, stuff it in bro! No worries, as we're getting a bunch of 'iron-cast stomach' judges this time around...they should survive this torture! Haha...

And so, just in case you run out of ideas, here's a few examples of what you COULD do...

Remember friends...its all about the looks! If it looks good, it should probably taste good! :)

If it fits within the buns, just go ahead and stuff it in! You'll never know what new creation you might end up with...haha!

How about sizing things up a lil'??? Check out this killer burger!! This could feed an entire kampung...remember friends, think BIG and CRAZY!

Now this is taking things to the NEXT level...will someone please please attempt this?? :)

Ultimately, it should look something as delicious as this...ahh, there's nothing quite like a home-made burger with sizzling juicy patty! We were talking over lunch last sun...why do they call it a burger 'patty'?? Someone suggested its because they grab a slab of minced meat and throw it hard on a flat surface, and then they give it loads of 'pats' to make it flat. Sounds logical to me!

Here are the items that your patrol will be judged on for this year's Cookarama:

i. Food taste (of course...duhhh!)
ii. Presentation and creativity (think EXOTIC)
iii. Table settings
iv. Patrol members in a certain costumes/outfits/theme...this would help your marks!

You'll have to do all your cooking in church over portable stoves. This was, everyone has an even playing field. :) Portable gas stoves will be provided, therefore no need for you to bring your own gas tanks. Fire also will be provided. Everything else, sendirian berhad.

So dont forget friends...its happening this Sunday! Details as below...
