hi there,I wanna take food science course at Rahman College,but it only offers until diploma.So where can I continue my studies to degree level and what's the estimated cost? thank you..

came across a recipe site in malaysia that also has information on food science and food safety.

www.chopstickdiner.com

U can consider oversea, or alot of college offer food science (it may be knows as Nutritionist)
Taylors offers food science too, but i have no idea about the fees, u may refer to taylors page or forum in the education thread,
There is taylors staff there who may assist you

Hi i just wanna know is it possible to become a chef just by being a kitchen helper in a restaurant?I know it'll take years but approximately how long?

Nowadays wanna study Diploma in Culinary Arts also costs RM40k.. ==

Hi Dorama,

Chef = With the knowledge of handling kitchen, cook, hadling staffing, Acoounting, Manging Hygeien and etc.
Cook = Purely know on Cooking.

Anyway, Just learn in kitchen is sufficient for u to become Chef. If u want faster, use the 40k to invest and open ur own restaurant no need study.

Ok,noted.Thanks!

I know this is kinda random but, I went to a Thai Cooking Class that day and it was really fun. Can learn so many things in just a few hours!Aint sure whether its gonna be as fun in the real kitchen though ==

In real kitchen, it is full of stress, the heat, the chef shouting and etc.
lots of people after study dont want to work in Hotel.
Im not discouraging but it is true.
restaurant is fine

Yup Im aware of that.Been reading this thread for a long time.
I was so tempted to sign up for Culinary Arts at Edu Fair that day. The counselors didnt really tell us what it really takes to become a chef though == Glad that this thread exist hahaha.
I guess its best that I stick to cooking classes,eh?

cooking eh
can become chef at hotel or restaurant?

which college offer the cheapest fees for this course?

Currently I have a business idea in the works, and would like to ask... Where do I go if I'd like to hire chefs? Not talking about general corporate job sites like Jobstreet. Since culinary arts is quite a specialized skill, would like to have more candidate choices. What kinda network should I be looking into if I wanna hire?

Any contact person or info?

Thanks

GUYS. I find this really really cool. I was at KDU University College, Damansara Jaya Campus.
It is the first time I saw a cooking with DRY ICE. It uses liquid nitrogen .
I cant explain it.its called molecular cooking. REALLY really cool and it tastes delicious.
It is the ONLY college that offers this cool cooking course

Im not sure, but Jobstreet and those recruiment site would be the most efficient, But im not sure out there has chef association.
Taylors got Industrial Training department, u could request them for adding database for ur company.

KDU offers Molecular Gastronomy, which is awesome, but the cost of it is very high.
imagine liquid nitrogen going to cost?

Is it possible to take up food science or nutrition with a diploma in culinary arts?

+1 on this. It's really damn stressful. Just try working in as a kitchen helper and suffer!

To ans ur 1st question, actually this come into my mind during mid of my Degree.
i want to start Food Science after Higher Dip, asked my lecturer , he say u could skip the basic level, which means u jump to 2nd year straight.
But u are studying Pre U again. what for?

2nd Q.
Erm.. what i can really tell you guys is try 1st before start this course.
I feel that this course we dont learn much but, we learn lots about hardmanship and everything.

Sien la hospitality mgmt. I feel like quitting d after my first year in taylors... The course is quite fun la but I dont think that I've learned anything 'useful'

u must apply what u learn not just people spoon feeding you.

You would be sought after once u learned it dont u think so?
Not many would know..therefore..I think in the future, we will get that unique experience and also pay

bonjour tout le monde!
je suis etudient en BTH a l'université taylors~
