1. Did I find new reasons and methods people preserved food?
I learn a few of preserve methods, such as Dry, temperature, freezing, seasoning and vacuum. Such as freezing is for the pork meat (Saksang) and Bika Ambon is also keep in the refrigerator. Manisan, snacks and so on and so forth, uses the method of vacuum. Where they are compressed really tight in a plastic. Seasoning is a method where it is used to Andrew’s food, the spicy potato chips. The Chips were seasoned with spices.
2. How do I think this might be useful (*in practice, **in my studies, ***in my life)?
This things are useful for me in the future, cause from now I on I should practice in school, so when I’m living by myself in college, I can know how to preserve foods with the methods I learned in school. This can be something new, cause I have learn it and it was a good topic to talk about. Cause someday in my life, I would be living alone and because I learn these methods, I can use it for the future. I can use this preserve methods, for me and in the future, so If I will eat left over foods, I would not get any sickness. Cause I have placed it well with the preserve method. Or if anybody else would not get sickness, because I have use the method to keep the food well. It is a very good teaching, for me in the future, cause one day we will leave alone and this methods will be helpful.
Personal reaction 3. How did I feel about what was done? (*Did it affect me emotionally and if so, how?)[S3]
Eating Medan Food, was very good. I feel that it was right for me, It’s just the type of food which I would like to eat. Such as Saksang, I like it because it is spicy. I like to eat spicy food and mostly food from Medan are Spicy and I like it. Also such as Bika ambon, Bolu Meranti, I like those kind of sweet food as well. Especially the drink, the markisa syrup was just the best syrup I’ve ever tasted. So I felt happy, because I tried new foods which suits me well.
4. What did I like or enjoy and why?
The food I like the most during class was the Saksang and Bika Ambon, Both of them were just so good. I loved both of them, because that is the type of food I usually eat. The Markisa drink was very good too.
5. What did I dislike and why?
What I dislike was the food that Raghav bought, the manggo thing. That did not tasted well and I don’t like it. For me, the food was hard and it tasted plain, tasteless and I feel that it was not what Medan food should taste like. Cause mostly food from Medan is sweet and spicy and its taste very good. But the food that raghav brought was not good, for me.
Action to be taken 6. Is there any action that I will take as a result of what was done? (*What will I do differently next time and how will I do it?)
Next time, I should bring a more rare food. Food that is rare, that is unusual from Medan. Supply more amount of food to share with my friends and teachers. Should’ve bring food that people haven’t tasted before. Should buy food, that people think that people would buy for a souvenir.
7. What do I need to investigate or research further related with my next project on food preservation?
I need to investigate for further relation to my nex project on food preservation is to find out more preserve methods. For more difficult foods, such as coconut milk, fried food, duren, cakes, and so on and so forth. To find out, when will food expired, cause different kind of food has different expirecy, which is needed to find out. Also find out which method is best for each type of food, in order to not get sickness.
