Wimbledon!!!!!!!

So I finally ventured out to Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum, it was so surreal to be at Wimbledon, too bad it wasn't the season though. There's a picture here of a touble gripped tennis raquet, which is really really cool, I really want one! Also, there's some pictures of signed uniforms. More to come!

a special chef made a trip over to the hotel to especially make this watermelon carving. There were others but they brought them out later and I didn't get a chance to take a picture :(

There were some assorted breads that we served but the Chef didn't like how they looked so they ended up changing all of it later anyway, oh well. The desserts were unfortunately all frozen and not made in house, this is because there is basically no pastry section in the hotel, really sad actually.

cont'd

There is a macaroni salad there made with Rocket Pesto (arugula pesto). Although I did not make the pesto, I think the salad looks alright haha! Also there was a picture of some Curry Rice in the pictures in the previous post, I forgot to mention what that was exactly. It was basmati rice, sultanas (raisins), toasted almonds, and toasted desiccated coconut. Quite delicious! ALso in this block of pictures are more of the VIP function.

VIP Buffet

So some guests from the VISA company came to our hotel and the Chef requested that we do a "very VIP" menu for them, so we had to pull out all the stops for this one! There was Nicoise Salad, Hummus, Salmon Tartare, assorted breads, Thai Noodle Salad(I made!), and hot food as well such as four cheese tortellini etc.
Here are some pictures of the buffet and the people that I work with. The guy in this picture set is Amol, he is in the Larder station and I work with him sometimes. He basically does Garde Manger (all the salads and cold things that need to be done). Anyway though hope you like the pics I finally took at work :)
