the hospitality course in our school is having their course test these few weeks. they had been serving the customers for every monday and tuesday. to be one of the customers, we will have to reserve our seats for at least one week before. the whole meal costs 10 dollars. they have the appetisers, the main course and the dessert. i bet when you hear the word 10 bucks, you will think that it is expensive. but then all of that is served in hotel style. if you go to hotel for even the buffets itself in penang costs about 200 dollars per person. so it rather worth it. they have different servings every week. the first time i had the servings they actually served me filipino food. i rather like the appetizer and the dessert. i forgot what the appetizer was called, but the potato in it was cooked with the sweet potato into crisp brown perfection. rather different from the usual western meals. when you actually bite into the appetizer, you can actually taste and smell the freshly baked potatos. i love the appetizer. the dessert was actually a very common asian type of dish. they cooked the gullotine rice and then added a scoop of ice-cream on top of it. along with the contrasting hot and cold ingredients, they put just a sprinkle of cinnamon powder on top of it, adding to the uniqueness of the whole effect. very nice.

my second time was actually italian. to be honest i always hated italian food. the food was always too sour, too cold and so not my taste. but then when they served me the meal that day, it was actually much much better than what the high class restaurants always served. to think that a freshman could actually beat a proffesional was actually a laughable thing to know. we had onion soup for the appetizer, it was a bit too oily but then the taste and texture was superb, i don't really know what they put but then i guess i was always a little biased when it comes to onion since i always loved the smell of it. all i could think at that time was 'good thing they didn't serve an english style onion soup'. if you look up to the original recipe of the english onion soup, it was always dark brown in color and the texture was so thick that the ingredient just kind of like stuck out of the soup. yuck...but then they take it with bread. i really love the caramel pudding with berries on topthe caramel pudding

dessert that day. they had this caramel pudding with raspberrie and blueberry on top. around the pudding you can actually see the home-made type of raspberrie and lemon jam. very natural and very delicious. they even added a little lemon zest on top of the pudding so it was great. every one should try it!
