It's getting more exciting at work!


Custard

During the entire week I was requested to work in the pastry/bakery section. Helping the pastry chef was to my advantage. First of, I had to be at work before 7. I love to work early so getting up before the rooster crows is not an issue to me. Second of, I could go home before the rush hour began.(It begins at 5). The last reason which I think mattered most was learning from a more experienced professional. Well, I need to be trained by a seasoned pastry chef.

I was delighted to be given a chance to assist the hotel's pastry chef. I liked working with him as he could explain things to me in a language that we both speak and understand (English). I gained more ideas which will help me in my career advancement. I learned which techniques were best suited for each product. I became more versed in food handling, storage and preparation. I learned more dessert and cake designs too! I look forward to more challenges soon.


Here are some of the stuff the hotel serves during coffee break.

Tuna sandwich

Fruit Tart
