　　Well I'd like to talk about an experiencethat I learnt how to fry fish from my granny.

　　Actually it happened not so long ago, justa few weeks ago, when I went visit her for the weekend. Before that, I hadn'tseen her for almost half a year and i pretty yearn for the meal she cooks, cos youknow, personally I'm definitely a foodie who fancies canto cuisine so much.

　　So fascinating are her culinary skills thatI may not live without her tasty dishes when I'm abroad, I mean, it must begoing to take me a good while to get used to the new eating habits in the UK,so I gotta learn how to cook before leaving.

　　It was not a hassle as I had ever imagined,since my granny is a pretty good teacher. She had prepared all the ingredientsat home, like the fish, ginger, scallion and whatnot. The most important thingis that she taught me how to master the furnace, how to pour the proper amountof oil, cos, if not, it would get the fish burnt. This way I managed to cookthe fish at the end, tasting good. I feel it's quite addicted to cook the meal,and I will be a good cook I think.
