hie guys,

I'm completing my degree in marketing soon. Wanna go into food industry, aka to become a chef. Guess i made a mistake for not going into CA last time.

Wanna ask, what's my available options? I'm a pretty good cook already at the moment (learn through books and videos), but wish to go through professional training to be a chef. Instead of just attending classes, can i go under apprenticeship with established chefs (ie, training in hotel kitchen or well known restaurants and etc). Know any such opportunity in Malaysia?

I wish we're like UK or Aust where there are lots of opportunity to train under well known chefs in restaurant. Its a lot of hard work for sure, but at the end, you're learning from the best. I've been asking around but so far its been pretty disappointing.

mind i ask here??
after diploma in hospitality and tourism management,
i wish to continue to my degree...
i looking for degree in culinary arts or pastry or any related cooking(asian etc etc)
but then i do not know where to start..

which college provide degree in culinary arts or pastry or related to cooking?
mostly college provide diploma..

1 of my friend face the same problem.
He got his degree on busisness, and then end up dont really like the job, so he start to work at restaurant and etc.
So, he want to enroll into Hotels board. but hotel needs the Paper work. no cert cant join the hotel.
So now he is with us study diploma in CA

Maybe Culinary Institution of America(CIA)
or Le cordon blue?

any further details on it?
i cant find a suitable college so far..

I dont know wherther Le Cordon Blue offer Asian Cuisine.
But i saw CIA( culinary arts of America) offer Dip/Degree in Pastry?

The Hotel & Tourism department is the biggest one in my university because now we contains 4 courses.

So, how are the exams like ? What kind of exams do you guys have ?

30 minutes
given list of ingredients

write own menu
teach commis do starter or dessert

within 3 hours must present main course
2 horus for starter or dessert

something like that

Haha Kuek chilled la.
He damn nervous that day i be his commis

if u want economical yet recognised Diploma in Pastry/Baking, just go for City & Guilds, (UK) qualification would do

To All:

Need abit of every1 POV and ideas... Hope every1 contribute generously...

I need to figure out a simple menu consist of a hot soup and a main dish made out of lamb or mutton....

I have this theory that my soup should be light as the main dish is already heavy... Is this theory correct?

Here is what I have come up with...

Soup: Tomato Soup
The main dish: Grilled pepper lamb cutlets

And I need to do the food costing for this... Could any1 teach me how to do that?

Thanks in advance and appreciate for those who reply...

Not having a gravy/side for the lamb cutlets?

Good thing you remind me about that... Well, I rather not to make things complicated...

I'll just go with the traditional way of serving lamb, Mint Sauce
