Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Hi guys, today my classmate and I go into the kitchen at 07.00. 1 hour erlie  than the previous day. It is not without reason, we are required to come at 7:00 am because on the day we made a mistake, which we misused the material when making one of the types of dishes we made on that day. Actually the material we have to use is ginger but because there is an error indistinguish between ginger and kencur so that is derived is kencur. Although the amount of kencur used is not much, but it feels quite noticeable. Mistakes can happen to anyone and anytime, because they are human nature, and man is his place wrong and wrong. However, even so we still have to make it a very valuable lesson. As the saying goes "learn from mistakes, one day you will succeed".

Ok guys, because of the above error. Through this blog I will give a little explanation about the differences from any kinds of ingredients used in the kitchen, such as galangal, ginger, kencur, and turmeric. Which when we look at a glance is quite difficult to distinguish.
