Daily Activity

After two weeks before we finished the A'la Carte 1 menu, this week we entered the A'la Carte 2 menu. The number of the menu itself is still the same as before, but certainly the types of dishes we will practice are clearly different. Starting from Appetizer, namely Chef Salad, Empek-empek, Jellied Fruit Salad and Thai Papaya & Mango Salad. Soup, namely Pho Bo and Potato Chowder. Main Course, namely Potato Gnocchi with Tomato Sauce, Beef Wellington, Mashed Whipped Potatoes & Peas, Carrot, Pearl Onion with Tarragon Butter, Prawn of Meuniere, Spaetzle & Green Bean with Roasted Pepper and Bacon, Mixed Rice consisting of White Rice, Jukut Urab, Rendang, Sate Lilit Ikan & Acar. For Dessert, namely Red Velvet Roll, Creme Brulee, Tiramisu & Katiri Mandi. And finally Great For Sharing, namely California Burger, Club Sandwich, Grilled Cheese Sandwich & Deep Fried Calamari with Spicy Tomato Sauce and Tartar Sauce.

     The division of stations of each group is the same as the system we did before, such as Cold Kitchen, Main Kitchen, Butcher and Pastry & Bakery. And this time, group 2 was tasked with handling Butcher station. Before starting preparation, we first wait for orders from other stations.

After that, we prepared all the ingredients according to orders, such as beef tenderloin, beef brisket, squid, prawn, fish, etc. Even though we handle butcher, it doesn't mean we don't have a lot of work. We cannot do preparation before all the ingredients have gone through the thawing process, because it is impossible for us to do it in frozen conditions

After all the ingredients are ready to be worked on, we also share the task to complete all preparation. The things I do are peeling prawn, making burger patty, making empek-empek batter and also fish satay mixture. Then proceed with covering and labeling preparation that has been completed. In addition, I was also tasked with weighing and shortening the newly arrived butcher items to be stored in the freezer.

Because today we only do preparation, we immediately do general cleaning after all preparation is complete. After that, we rested for a few hours. And at 5:50 p.m., we did an oneline in front of the kitchen, received a few directions and prepared to go home.

Here is some picture of today :
