Nur Scarflet

6 weeks ago, me and my group members set up this company as part of our entrepreneurship project. Our main product is scarf and shawls. We also sell brooches and bandanas as an accompaniment to the scarf and shawls.


Throughout the 6 weeks, responses to our products were overwhelming as our target group is primarily hijab wearers. Though i'm not a hijab wearer, i would don one in the future and perhaps this could be a start for me.


We had constant return buyers that purchase our products and they would bring in new buyers for us. In return, we gave them our outmost service such as bringing in desired shawls into Nur Scarflet, delivering it to them, mail out the items if they want it to be mailed.


There were competitors in this line of product . However, we feel that we are selling at a much lower cost than the ones selling it too. This is because we want to make our product affordable to our potential customers.


I had fun doing this project as it taught me the basic aspects of setting up a business. It is definitely my first time doing it so everytime we have incoming sales, i get very excited. In other words, we feel appreciated that our company is known to them.

These are some of the products that Nur Scaflet is selling. And it is sold out! :)

* happy birthday mum!

my mother turned 46 recently and i decided to make a cake for her. her only request was 'NO CREAM'. she hates cakes that have cream. so with the help of my cousin, he volunteered to help me make my mum's birthday cake.

this is call mango fool cake, as claimed by my cousin. my mum loves mango. this cake is covered with mango mousse. the content of the cake is just sponge cake and peaches. im glad that my mum loved it. she even requested for more. :)) celebrated the birthday at my aunt's and everyone who tasted this cake loved it! i was even asked if they could order. haha!

I would like to thank my cousin for helping me out. :)) patience in baking? i don't think i have that patience. something thoughtful to reflect about.

Microteaching 4

This week is the microteaching for my group.

At the end of the microteaching, i feel that i have not done well for it. Firstly, my organization and preparation turn to be bad. I was nervous and i panicked.

I've learnt that, i need to be very well prepared. I also need to give precise instructions to the students. Teamwork and communication is very important when it comes to group work.

If i were given a chance to do all over again, i would not want to repeat the mistakes that i've made during the microteaching.

On the other hand, my roux sauce turn out well :)

Microteaching 2

Thumbs up for Group 2! =)

A new dish that i have learnt is the Chakchouka. It would taste better if was minced meat instead of minced chicken. :)

All the dishes that was taught were rather spicy.

Staples around the world!

Kudos to group 1 for your microteaching. =)

I learnt a new dish which is the couscous. My first time trying it, my first time tasting it. I do not know what it is suppose to look or taste like but my couscous turned out to be dry and gritty. The taste was sweet probably due to the raisins. The quiche and penne pasta were superb! =)

Food Photography

Food palating is one of the ways where you could show your creativity to attract consumers attention. If we eat at a restaurant or food court, we would be able to see the types of palating techniques to make the food more appealing to eat. In palating, we used garnishing to give off the colour so that the dish will not look pale.

Given the opportunity to do food photography, these are the pictures that i took as part of class lesson. In schools, students are asked to present their food product and teachers are to take pictures of the products that the students made. Also, we only encourage students to present minimal and simple to avoid overwhelming of the dish.

During lesson, i took pictures of donuts.

A point that i have learnt and i will keep in mind is:

NO GARNISH IS BETTER THAN WRONG GARNISH.
