The Sabah Outback Cooking Challenge 2024

 

The Challenge :

To come up with Menu for 1 1/2 days Mission Trip without electricity and no water (just one half filled water tank which is needed for toilet). We did not have enough water to shower, to do that guys will get 1.25 litre of drinking water to show, ladies would use 2 bottles. For the chef, special on the second night, I was rewarded with 3 bottles for full shower and washing hair (such an luxury!). 

For cooking, what was available was a gas stove and cooler box with ice (should melt by second day noon)

A total of four meals.
