Menu Planning

Our meal is baked pesto chicken breasts with fresh tomato soup and sweet potato fries.
In our meal we needed to include:

• protein (chicken)
• carbohydrates (sweet potato)
• vegetables/herbs from the garden (basil, rocket, rosemary etc.)

All our ingredients had to come from Hong Kong. Either our own garden or local organic farms in Hong Kong. Our budget was only $100. This meant we had to try find the cheapest and most local choices. Some ingredients, which can not be found in Hong Kong, we were allowed to get from china, for example olive oil.
