I think culinary art is the better description.

A few colleges do offer this course, these are some of them, hope this information is helpful to you. However, it seems these colleges only offer up to Diploma level, you might need to study overseas for higher level of education.

• Taylor's College
• Flamingo College
• Genting Inti International College

In my opinion, this course has quite good of job prospect, you will get nice salary too. You can work in many famous hotels and who knows you can become a famous chef in the future.

If you are interested in this course and you are going for it, this will definitely lead you to success, for a better future career. It is because with generated interest, you will learn things easier.

I can't give you more opinion as I am not studying in this course.

Watch Hell's Kitchen every Tuesday night, 8:30pm NTV7. You could learn something from it.

I'm gonna try to attend a course interview offered by Taylor's college this Thursday..the course if sponsored by the HRDF if I'm not mistaken..anyone seen the advert?

I heard that "Cooking" is one of the subjects of "Hotel Management".

I also heard that "Hotel Management" have lots of good job prospects out there + highly paid. (You will be managing entire hotels.)

Yes, but TS wants to specialise only in culinary art.

My sister is a graduate for Hotel Management and their pay is always based on the hotel's sales for that particular month, they called that service point. High pay or not, it is actually determined by the hotel's sales. And, they have to work different shifts if working in hotel line, tiring I must say.

i should have joined the course rather than joining engineering.. for me cooking is great and fun thing to do.. u can create your recipe and try it out.. u can be pretty helpful for your wife and she will love u for that.. i think i'm out of the topic so please do not flame me.. i just want to share my opinion..

good luck to the next JAMIE oliver... if u open your own restaurant, please do not forget to invite us all.. good luck..

Chef for chinese food or western food ?

A friend of mine graduated with Diploma of Culinary Arts from KDU. He's currently working(as an assistant chef or something) at the Shangri-La KL. I think it's been around 1 year and he earns RM2000 a month.

Well nothing much can be said. Like you, he enjoys cooking. The work hours are probably exhausting but hey, it's his passion.

Thanks guys, sorry for late reply.
im just wondering around thinking about hows culinary arts.
but its my choice, tml im go to school take my trial result and register for this course.

thanks guys

Added on December 27, 2007, 6:40 pmIn Culinary Arts its all base on France Cooking.
so its was kind of western.
other college offer different type, like sunway they offer Hotel Management , if u interested on Chef then u specialise on chef course.
But i feel that Taylors is more base on chef.

if you really become a chef later, u must expect urself to be working during festive seasons like cny or hari raya.

Working as chef means not working from 9 to 5. Catch the drift?

Might apply for Diploma of Culinary Arts in UiTM.

i admire the fact that you have identified your passion and interest early. its good to know your ambition, learning things related to it will come easier. i totally back you to pursue culinary arts. work your way up. become a head chef at a 5-star restaraunt can earn you 5k/month easily. but yea, working hours will be til late night. but that is part and parcel with the job IMO. plus, chicks dig guys who can cook!

Have the Passion of study this course.
I love cooking enjoying it,feel joy when cooking

i dun really think u need a course in cooking.. cooking is all about experience.. go find a mentor.. and learn .. dont limit yourself to only a specific genre of dish eg: western/italian.. learn others also

[yes but how high can u go?
a chef in one hotel didnt apply for a higher chef position due to the fact that he learnt from another chef and didnt have any qualifications

n its not easy to find a chef who is willing to guide u from the start..
certainly they wont tell u their secrets....

but ur basic salary is high
service point is just additional pay
