Together with my partner-in-crime, Choi Yen and I had such a lovely time at this baking workshop. We let our creative juices take a hand when it comes to shaping the empanadas and the presentation.

Chef Shahril demonstrated his recipe to us first and then we got down to cooking ours.

Here’s my empanadas, which I shaped into round disc and long puffy ones.

These are all the other participants’ creations where some got really creative!
