The Final Post
I believe that my presentation went incredibly well, but there are still a few things that I want to do differently for next time. I started working on my presentation THREE DAYS before it was due. This was barely any time because I had to have my friends over to test my food and edit….
Successful First Try
Unfortunately the photos and videos I took weren’t able to be uploaded to the editor. To sum up the video, perfected shrimp tempura on the very first try. Throughout these weeks, I’ve always wanted to flawlessly make something on the first try, but it was a side goal I never thought I would reach. All…

I was incredibly nervous to talk to a stranger, but I had all my questions ready and I knew that everything was going to…
The Plan
For this week, I started to plan some questions to ask my professional. Here are some of the questions I am planning to ask: What proportion of milk do you add to your brown sugar milk tea? Where do you get your brown sugar syrup from? Are there any techniques you use to improve the…
Change of Plans
This week, instead of running the trial and error, I decided to start contacting my expert. I just started working on bubble tea and it would be a huge help to get some tips about it. I started off by calling a bubble tea place called “Presotea”. I have been here multiple times in the…
Failure

If you watched the video, you know that this week’s attempt was a failure. For next week I want to run some trials to figure out how…
