5 Taste Activity – Bitter Day

What would the children bring for bitter day? Let’s see what the children brought to share with the class:-

Jing Heng: Ritter Sport dark chocolate (50% cocoa) (I have cut the chocolate into smaller pieces before giving to Jing Heng to share with the class)

Xin Yee: fried bitter gourd. (she said her mum sliced the small green bitter gourd and fried it)

Kern Ee: some bitter tea leaves & chinese tea leaves

Bo En: Chinese tea leaves

Aiden: chocolate powder

I used Kern Ee & Bo En’s tea leaves to make 2 cups of tea and served a little bit for each of them. Some of the children don’t like the bitterness of it while some said it taste nice. Those who like it asked for more.

I thought the children would not favour the bitter gourd. Yet, for those who like it came back for more.
