Okay then.Erm,just wondering,should I really take up culinary arts?I mean the only thing I can cook is rice and maggi

Hey guys,I'm really curious lar,how much would a chef usually earn? My cousin said that if I don't open a restaurant,then I'll be earning pretty little.

Hey there, I'm a new student of culinary arts. I like this course a lot, but there's a problem that's making me think of changing my course. I've got knee problem, and it's been bothering me because of the job nature that I have to stand up while working. I know my knees will hurt real bad in future because my dad also has this problem and I myself have this problem when I used to play basketball. It's a kinda passed down problem. Should I just stick to this course or change my course? Is there anything I can do to reduce the knee pain?

Guys, can a student from Culinary Arts change line to something other than hospitality or are we just stuck in hotels, restaurants or cruise for good? I'm ending my diploma soon and I'm actually reluctant to work 6 days a week unlike before. Can we like sorta take up management but not hospitality management? Or food science or food technology?

Can I like take degree in international business with a culinary arts diploma? I dunno, just a rough idea. What degree that's not related to hospitality can I take with a diploma in culinary arts?

Guys, where would be a good place to work around malacca after I complete my diploma? Has anyone heard of Philea Resort and Spa?

Yes, there's exactly where I applied for my internship. I wonder if I can get it or not. Philea resort is located just after the Ayer Keroh toll, it's pretty damn big. Actually really big for a Malaccan hotel I guess. Some said it's a 6 star hotel but I dunno la that's why I asked.

I've always wondered why can't I keep long hair in the kitchen if I'm a guy, I can always wear a hair net or keep it inside the uniform what. And girls pula are allowed to keep their hair. Can someone explain?

Guys, I'd like to pursue a degree. Are there any local universities that offer degrees related to CA? A friend said UTAR does, but I checked their website and there's nothing hospitality related in the website.

Oh man, I'm actually looking for a cheaper option as my dad's gonna retire real soon. Aren't there any local Unis that offer degree in hospitality management or something similar?

Hmm, honestly, I don't think I would like to just stay in the hospitality line forever so that's why I thought of a degree. =/

How much is the Degree in international hospitality management at Taylors? I mean the whole thing. Looking to do my degree after my internship...

Ok, thanks man. I really appreciate it.

Are there anyone who offers scholarships for degrees?

If you're really interested in this line, I would personally recommend you to go work first for awhile. Work in a kitchen, experience the real life of chefs, see if you can take the heat and decide. There's nothing to loose this way. You gain experience, and money. Experience is very important in this job. You gain more exposure when there are competitions among colleges and sometimes, FHM competition. Or at least work part time in a banquet kitchen.

Really, if you could turn back time I would never have went for college first but rather, work first.

So here's my question for the seniors here, are there any possible ways that I may use my culinary diploma to apply for any other courses that are not related to the service line? I was hoping that I could get into food science but...

In reality, you need to know that most chefs you see in hotels are people with a lot of experience but zero papers. They didn't go through diplomas, degrees, certs and all that. They all climbed the ladder through hard work and perseverance. This job isn't really about having a paper, it's more about your skills and experience as a chef. Don't expect much even with the extra paper. I'm not saying you shouldn't take a diploma in it or what, you still need to know that 10 years from now everyone has a diploma in culinary arts and it's gonna be a tough competition.

To answer your question, YES, it is possible. But of course you need to know that you'll be doing all that kuli job; taking in stocks, peeling, chopping, heck perhaps even washing. Try to work in a Chinese banquet kitchen, it truly hones your skills and puts you to the test. Don't expect to hold the wok anytime soon though. These days, it's not like the olden kungfu days, not all chefs will torture you and won't teach you a thing.

Any other non service related degree can someone with a culinary arts diploma take? I honestly need this question answered. I can't take the kitchen heat tbh.

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!
