place: MOA
DAY 9. Assessment.
We had our 2nd assessment for this day to mark the end of our FASTRAK-1 or the SOUPS, STOCKS and SAUCES part of the course. I got hollandaise and mornay cheese sauce so of course, i had to make bechamel first.
I started the day with my usual McDonald's arabica coffee and not a worry in mind. But when we got to school, there were already several other students ( higher batch, apprarently) getting ready to use our kitchen. Turns out, we ( CCA-Oceana) has 2 events for that day that requires early preparation and naturally, manpower to pull it off. We are wave 13, and in the end, Wave 11, 12 and 13, all 3 batches, had to join forces and help out.
Its the most tiring day and most funnest ever! The first event used up our function room for a Coffee Seminar for an HRM school. We all helped in making their food and plating them as well.
But the most exciting part is the muslim event that we (CCA) sponsored which served muslim inspired dishes like roti with hummus and mutabal and bacalao with pomelo salad for starters, lamb burger, beef rendang sushi (picture below), tuna potstickers and chicken satay for the main dish and fruit shooters and durian creme brulee for desserts.

and Chuck torching them after
the whole class without Joel, tired but with smiles on our faces.
We started the day at 4am and ended at 10pm. We had a good rest of about 30-45mins but nevertheless, i've never felt so peaceful and happy my entire life. =)
Cheers! Until the next! :)
