I remember one of my lecturer chef used to do this as well...he would bring my class (only 5 students in total... XD) to the morning market, Cameron highlands etc etc to expose us to different food and ingredients...it really was an eye opening and meaningful learning experience... XD
and i like what you said :"too many cooks will spoil the broth." Haha...
Wahhh... Cameron Highlands... Fresh veggie and tea... last time I went there was three years ago...
Love to have a tea moment there surrounded by beautiful sceneries...
yes yes...i agree...there are still beautiful places in Malaysia that we can find inspiration from...lol... XD
