Second Week (Restaurant Practical Class)

On the second week, we were concentrating on the bar side. We learned about the responsibility in the bar itself, how to manage the bar neatly and also the introduction of the bar tools.  There are many different glasses that is being taught, so we’re not just know water goblet but other kind of glass too. There will be many different kind of drinks served on sale that is why we need each different kind of glass depend on the kind of drinks itself.  The responsibility for the person in the bar was also being taught to explain us how to manage the order and also other important things that is required in the bar responsibilities.

Like what being said before, there will be drink tasting in the second week. This learning process let us know the different of each liquor, so we’re not just see it by the color but also the taste and the smell of each kind. When the tasting process started, there were so many different kinds of flavors, there was sour, sweet, and bitter. Each kind have different smell, there was one smell like orange, coffee, ice cream, and even syrup. Those kinds of things have to be remembered in order for us to be able to differentiate each kind of liquor.
