Woah...a super long day today! I reached Dover very late in the morning...kinda overslept. XD We went for our first Introduction to food Product Development (IFPD) Practical today. The practical focused on sensory evaluations and think it's the best one of all. For the first test (The Triangle test), we were given 3 orange juice samples (100 sth, 200 sth and 700 sth..hehe..forgot the exact labelling numbers =P) and were supposed to pick the odd one out. Weee.. I picked the correct one out. And, there were only 3 people in class who got it right. At first, Hazel and I were thinking "die, we are the only two who chose 200 sth." =X But, we got the same...umm.. experience. Two of them tasted very sour while one tasted ok.

The second test was called the Duo-Trio test. Everyone will be given given sample R and 2 other samples. Then, you have to identify which of the 2 samples tastes the same as R. Beforehand, Sharon and I volunteered to help distribute the samples for this test. It's very fun...because you will know the answer before anyone else and it's very funny when you peeked at the people from the kitchen side. =P Still, it was kinda rushed and all. We were like frantically pasting the sticker labels on the cups..haha....trying to scoop mushroom soup from 2 big bowls to so many small cups. You had to make sure all the soup was evenly distributed. As you can see, campbell mushroom soup was used for this test. Ugh..don't know if the mushroom soup had turned too cold. One bowl (with the original sample) tasted quite horrible.. while the other one had more salt added.

Then, we were supposed to clean up and all. Ms Leong told us to clean the table tops outside, especially near the tap parts. Sharon heard that we had to use serviettes for cleaning. So I took quite a number of serviettes and went out to clean the tables. Then, suddenly, the helper was telling me to use a cloth next time because we need to save the environment. I was like =S inside..then, I returned and told sharon about it. Sharon was sure Ms Leong said serviette. Ah, dang.
