Day 32

I forgot to write one thing that we did yesterday.. Preserved capsicums.. I was cutting those capsicums for the paella and there was a box of leftovers.. To prevent the capsicums from spoiling after 2 weeks, we were told to preserve them.. First we charred the capsicums in the big convention oven.. Then we remove the skin and the seeds.. This is the irritating part.. After removing from oven, we cover the bowl of capsicums with cloth to steam it.. The skin now became very soft.. However, its still very difficult to remove the flesh from the skin.. And we have alot of flesh to remove? The glass bottles used must be sterilised before using and after adding the flesh and olive oil to the bottle.. Guess what? A bottle of preserved capsicums or any others like jam, homemade ones can sell up to 30dollars per bottle. $.$ Next time if I'm jobless can make them to sell.. Haha.

Back to what happen today.. Its the big day for everybody as we're preparing the BUFFET. Everything went smoothly and the food is great. But the ending when we cleaning up.. There's so much to do.. However, our chef told us that other instructors commented that the food prepared by us is best among all the others.. Hehe. Sure give us a great sense of achievement (: The pictures of the food will be shown in another post.. You will get to view them once I finished editing.. :P We also took a picture with our chefs!

Tomorrow is the last day at the production.. We're cleaning up the WHOLE production kitchen.. And the walk in chiller.. Plus we have the test.. MCQ 20qns.. Luckily. Tomorrow also have demo on the crabs and squid again (can eat again ^^) and the hainanese chicken rice! After that is holiday! Must work hard to earn money :)
