OUR EVENT CATERING

"SYMPHONY OF FOOD"

Symphony of food is brought to you by Diploma in Culinary Skills class 'C' Jan '07 Team 1 and we are having our Event Catering from the 16th July to the 19th July and on the 21st July. Event Catering is part of our learning in SHATEC. For this event, we are given about a month to prepare. We are split into a group of 19. We have to come up with our own menu, cook the food and run our own show at Charcoal restaurant. Furthermore, we have to make posters, tickets and flyers to market our food to our school, family and friends. After brainstorming and coming up with a few cuisines and wild ideas, we finally came to an agreement.

Our menu consists of food that compliments each other. Hence the theme 'symphony'. During Research and Development week, we're supposed to cook our food in school and let our Training Officer, Mr Eugene, try our food and guide us in enhancing the flavour of our food and it's presentation.

While the rest are busy in the kitchen, the marketing staffs are busy selling our $28 tickets to the students in school. They went class to class promoting our menu and set up a booth in the school. We also distributed flyers.

Our group of 19 consists of Rauf (Executive Chef), Wing Yin (Sous Chef), Patrick (Junior Sous Chef), Wei Jie(Chef de Partie), Wiliam and Zi Jie(Saucier), Fahmi and Tiong Peng (Griller), Ming Jia and Eunice (Potager), Fazlin and Philip (Entremetier), Feng Wei and Kun Ming (Garde Manger), Lenin (Aboyer), Nelson (Marketing manager and his assistants Nur Hassanah, Yuru and Mahirah.

My Passion

My Professional Blog

Hello! To whoever who is reading my blog, WELCOME! As an introduction, I shall talk a bit about myself. I'm Nur Hassanah, age 18 and currently studying in SHATEC taking up Diploma in Culinary Skills. I was from Tanglin Secondary School. After I finished my 'O' levels, I found out about SHATEC and i find that the course that they offer is interesting. Since my passion is cooking, i decided to join culinary skills. I had to wait a year to get into the course. During the year of waiting, I helped out my parents at their new food stall. Though it is only a small shop, i learned a lot from the experience. I learned how to handle money and stay within the budget. I also had fun interacting with customers although some might be hard to handle. So far, I really enjoyed my time in SHATEC meeting people who has the same passion as me. I shall end my post here and talk more about my life in SHATEC in my consequent posts. Till next time, take care! =)
