Day 1

Started work today. Basically our tasks are to assist those chefs make canapes , mini bite size food, for The Phantom of the Opera reception. actually i shldn't be there today. i dunno why im asked to go down. nothing to do at all. i reached at 1445, chatted with yan and yl who were resting, and chef eric cooked tomato based fresh bacon speg and penne (which i think is not really nice) and we started eating at abt 4pm. see how much i slacked. den after meal they went off and i was left alone at al dente.

i was left sitting at the restaurant till about 5.30pm and then eric realised i cannot go into the theatre cos they didnt report my name , no access hence. but i still helped eric bring up 2 trays of food for the pre-performance. and then i went back and was told by another chef to help cut bread. i think 1 packet is abt 200 pieces? i duno. i cut 2 packets, 1 for burger 1 for the asparagus thing which was so yummy i ate 2. haha. den i had nothing to do, and customers started streaming in. i cut 9 big packs of fresh button mushrooms which were very nice to cut btw, and i was standing at the bar area beside kitchen. observing them. cool. they got this fireplace to bake pizza with this dunno wad wood fire. and i kept hearing Lamb Shank orders. haha. and i saw how they make desserts. Creme Brulee. very cool. they put some sugar on it and used gas to burn it a little. den decorate it. tiramisu was crap i think. and the choc fondue was worse. food was quite overpriced. their wild mushroom soup, which look exactly like the one we had at Olio, was going at $10. pastas from $20, and i didnt notice the rest. i rather go Thai Express! so tempting beside us. haha.

after cutting the mushrooms i went into the chiller to wrap it and keep it. and i steal eat strawberries. very nice! sweet. and i ate 2. haha. went to get iced water and i went to the Gluttons Bay beside al dente and got mee soto as i was hungry. finished it at 10pm, and eric said i could leave cos there's nth i can do. :/ and i dun have to go tmr! hehehe.
