My Days in College

So far i've enjoyed both the tutorial and practical classes even if i'm still new in the hospitality industry.
doesn't matter, still have room for improvements.
hahahaah

anyway, here's a few experiences that i have had & would like to share with you readers..

tutorial on Beverages class was on Wednesday. we learnt about the history of wines-making & yada yada. have you ever heard of Ice Wine? how it is made? now let me tell you. according to my lecturer he said the reason it is called ice wine basically because the grapes were collected during winter time where the grapes were covered with ice.. and tada.. we have Ice Wine. reasonable.
best of all, we got to taste the whole bottle of Ice Wine! yum yum. & not forgetting, red wine!
we even learned about labeling. how to differentiate sweetness of wines & all that.  110-150° Oe is very sweet! ;D

next up, i had my practical in the Cafe on Thursday!
Can you believe that?
Real guests dining in & is actually runs by the newbies like us!
OMG. i'm all excited & thrilled by the fact that we're running the Cafe for few hours eventhough we've only started to learn the basics, the do's and don'ts on that day itself!
Our menu of the day was Japanese Cuisines!
don't remember much names of the dishes, but there's this appetizer known as Shabu Shabu. HAHA =p
i was the Cashier of the day & i thought "Wow, it would be fun!"
i almost died of too much adrenalines rushing through my brain.
feel so tensed up cos i don't really know how to function the cashier machine.
each individual teaching me different things & guests kept coming in, i don't know who to listen to
so ended up i'd rather write in the Captain's Order & do mental calculation instead.
i guess there's few ringgits shortage too. hahah
after the peak hours, the wannabe-Chefs prepared us lunch!
Japanese Cuisines! & i even got to taste the green tea ice cream- all cooked & made by the wannabe-Chefs aka the students themselves! i'm so impressed!
what really impressed me too was the fact that my lecturer asked me go to the kitchen grabbed some food before i leave because he said he appreciated our hard work & therefore no one should be left out. & he kept thanking us again & again. awwww!
