Well, I’m going to talk about a time that I learned how to prepare a meal. Last year, during our New Year’s holiday, I learned how to prepare mojinga. This is such a Myanmar traditional food, and we can have this as a tapika snack or as a special meal. I was not interested in cooking, to be honest, but I learned how to prepare this meal because it is necessary for me to know at least how to prepare a special meal. Honestly speaking, my culinary skill is limited to boiling water. That’s why I was really excited to learn how to prepare this meal. But I got a chance to learn the relief from the internet. At first, I was not that keen to learn, but later on, I was really motivated to prepare this meal. It was quite challenging for me to learn because this meal involves a lot of steps. We need to choose the right amount of fish because for this mojinga, it is a kind of noodle, and we need to eat with a fish gravy. We also need to take a lot of steps to prepare this meal, to prepare this food. I need to chop the slices of banana carefully. After that, I need to mix them all together and cook in a very well temperature. It was such a challenging experience for me, but after I knew how to prepare this meal, I felt as things are accomplished.
