We eat with our eyes, not mouth
Saturday, August 15, 2009 7:10 AM
Woke up early and attended a brief Hotel Management and Hospitality thing at Berjaya Times Square. Got to explore a more-than Restaurant City tour around their campus.


Locked and loaded! Lets move out!



We all gathered at Starbucks early in the morning at 8 plus and headed on to 7th or 11th floor, i dun really remember. We were greeted and brought into the lecture theater to be given a brief idea about: SERVICE.
A simple word which we do not pay attention to it for the past years. It's true though... If you can't defy the word, forget about joining this industry. well, that's wad i've been told.

There are 11 kitchens here in Berjaya University College, more than TAR College.


We were brought into a kitchen and chef Nizam taught us about the basic stuffs. How a kitchen functions, salary of a chef, levels of chef, his past experiences and more.
He is one of the head chefs in Berjaya. He speaks in multiple languages, traveled whole lot of countries, and served the Brunei's Sultan recently. He is now a marketing chef. He said, a chef doesn't mean you are always trap in kitchen. He switched from kitchen chef to full time lecturer, and from lecturer to a marketing chef in 20 plus years time. i dunno wad it means by marketing/chef too, dun ask me. His wife is a doctor and he is darn rich. He has BM, and even brought a mini cooper for his son. 'He is lucky,' said Chef Nizam.



Look at this.

The table, are made up of 3 different materials . White is marble, black is granite and the wood is... wood. Do you know why they have these 3 different thing instead of one? It is all about texture and temperature. A single Celsius can ruin you whole pastry or food. So, they use granite because it is naturally cold.

And do you know tat a Genting Highland's chef salary can go up to 23k in a single month? Yea, interesting. Darnnnn interesting.



After all the chatting and stuff,we got down to business. Chef Nizam showed us how to make salads. Take a look at these:



Zhen Pei! Choose one! LOL

Mouth-watering ones. Yum yum! To all those who are going to attend Zhen Pei's birthday celebration, you are lucky. You can try Andre and my skills. I know i know it won't gonna taste as good as it looks like cause we are only students, and not chefs! If you're still not satisfy, go there on the 11th or 7th floor and enjoy this with RM38.







Were ate up all we made during tea break at here, chilly and cozy place.






This is Resh.
After that, Resh leaded us and walked around the kitchen to visit their labs, restaurants and all. And here comes the interesting part. An Oenology lab. The favorite part for Resh.

Do you have any idea what is waiting for you behind this door? I'll give you a hint: Paradise of all Muslims non Muslims.





Still can't figure it out? There you go...





There, Resh explaining about this place.



It is a lab where you test wines and stuff. Nice right? Im sure you do noticed bout these sinks.

You will find a lot of DNA in the sinks. You know why?
You are order to pour/split the alcohol away after testing it because students are not allowed to consume alcohol during classes. And for Muslims, forbidden city. They can't take these. They are taught to smell instead.


Right beside the Oenology Lab, there is this.

Apart from alcoholic stuff, there is also a coffee house. Here is where students are taught to make their own coffee. The learn techniques on how to mix the coffee beans, just like what Starbucks had been doing over the years. What mix with what? They just won't tell. Students can relax themselves after classes and make their own coffee here too! F.O.C




They have the exact same machine Starbucks are using.




We were brought to many many places but i did not take any pictures of it, so i'll not blog about the others. The food alone is enough to make this post beautiful isn't it? Chef Nizam said 'we eat with our eyes, not mouth,' which i found out 110% true.


There, us.






On our way out, we found that 100plus is organizing some sports events. So we joined. It was Basketball. Ben, KS and i were in a team whereas Andre, Lam Fom and Raymond in the other.

We lost by a point, shot by Andre, who doesn't play basketball but football!
