Royal Halal and Night Life

Today I worked at the Gazebo Shop portion of the Satay Club. I learned the accounting inventory processes and made some suggestions to help out with the inventory of canned drinks. The drink section is very un-organized and the inventory sheet is not in alphabetical order.

In Southeast Asia, vegetarians and lactose-intolerant individuals favor hot, malt-based drinks such as Milo, Ovaltine, Horlicks, and barley- and rice-based drinks. Teas are sweetened with milk and sugar. Teh tarik, or pulled tea, named for the way it is prepared, is a sweet, frothy, milky tea made with condensed milk. I learned to make this pulled tea with the help of Yati and Siti two girls who have been working at the club for several years. Im not as good as them but am getting better.

I also learned about Asian Desserts and how they are made from mainly ice. Yati taught me to kachang . Red beans, sweat cream style corn, and grass jelly are placed in the bottom of the bowl, underneath the ice layer. The ice is laced with a mixture of condensed and evaporated milks and brightly colored syrups, made at the restaurant. We also use a brown sugar syrup to top the ice. It was quiet good and made several for the customers, for it is the most popular dish.

So far I haved determined several issues fobringingng this concept to the USA. They are listed below

1. Thicket meat cuts
2. Sanitation issues on Department of Health
3. HAAC protocol via USDA
4. FDA Regulations
5. Suggested variety of dipping sauces for the American Consumer
6. The Western foods concept would need to be revamped
7. Dessert Gazebo would need revamping for American tastes.
8. Issues with mutton not being an acquired American taste.
9. Labeling of cleaning supplies in American Restaurants.
10. Sanitation issues are a big change within the restaurant.

I enjoyed working with Yati and learned lot of .

I met up with the Aggies at Clarke Quey on the Singapore River. This area has many clubs and restaurants. We ate at a Mexican Food Restaurant where we enjoyemangojo Margaritas! We also got to have some food from close to home. I choose an option that I had never had at home, it was Shrimp Quesadillas with Habenero sauce. It was awesome.

We then went to Muhammad Sultan road the premier clubbing area of Singapore. It was quite dead on a Thursday night but we found quaintnt Wine Bar were we enjoyed a bottle of White and Red Australian Wine. We taught Drew about the differences in Wine and what is served with each meal. I introduced him to my favorite variety called PORT! He liked ia lotot better than the house wine.

We had a great time and enjoyed talking about the trip and making plans to visit Sentosa Resort this weekend.
