My niece just enrolled in a Culinogy degree program at Taylor's Univ. She completed her diploma in culinary art last year at the same university.

I am just wondering about her future job prospect. Any tips from any chefs here?

Hi, I guess I believe every young adult who enroll to culinary is a great escape for them to avoid study. But in reality. Theory class is important and crucial. I my self also first enrolled at Taylors expect to be full practical class.

Those skill sets will come in handy when ur nephew would want to operate his own restaurant in future. I see a lot of restaurant fail because they dont know how to manage. If ur nephew just want purely be a cook, straight join a kitchen dont want time to go uni.

I'm not a full time chef , but I can share important message as a person who are at this field

1) its all about drive, money talk later. You expect to earn quick buck dont seek this job. Starting pay is 2k for a degree graduate
2) it's all about physical and mentally challenge. U need ur strength to cook and strength to think cooking right. It takes very long and hard experience to be successful. We ain't different from doctor
3) Malaysia.... Here people dont appreciate to pay good for chef . Better gauge ur skill from oversea and come back to run here. Singapore is a good starting point if u can't get Europe,China, or USA
4) root cuisine, if u r Chinese better gear up ur Chinese cuisine, if u r Indian, Malay better get ready cause people hire u not because of u r good at culinary art or western cuisine. but because u r good at local cuisine

Just wondering are there any groups / forum dedicated for culinary arts or pastry people ?

i want to join a culinary arts community but can't seem to find one.

thanks in advance

It used to be active here...

But seems like Hospitality people are too busy working.
They aint have time to chill around.

Hence this thread became an course inquiry section in the edu forum.

Hi good brother,

Thanks for your reply.

Any chance you know of any community in facebook or other forums ? Specifically for Malaysians.

Thanks

To be honest, not really.
But oversea forum is very healthy. I ask about savory macaroons, they replied instant

R u going for hotel management or culinary?

Wut hospitality management not hotel only? But anyways yea i going hotel mgmt

Well, many Uni offers courses.

Either you specialize in Culinary, Hotel management
But some school only offers Hotel management or Culinary.

Genericly,
Hotel Management focus on Front desk management, Operating Management, F&B management etc etc
Culinary mainly focus on F&B and Kitchen

Hotel management does touch culinary abit, but just very basic. mostly F&B management.

Dont expect all these course no need study, 100% physical activity.
You still have to study, Marketing, Economics, Finance, Accounting, F&B theory, Kitchen theory and etc

When you reach Degree,
It is mostly study, all about management, operating calculation, and etc
while culinary students will touch Mass services and etc

Please check out few of the Uni

http://www.berjaya.edu.my/home/
https://university.taylors.edu.my/en/study/...ospitality.html

Thanks for the info!
At the degree study there sounds similar to business admin no?

Well more in depth about hotel operation. all your studies is about Hotel and F&B.
You also need to complete your thesis.

But i do see many none Hotel Management people take up Sales, Marketing, HR, PR, Event management in hotel
