SHTM students Serve Five-Course Meals for SBA ProDev Culminating Activity.
Students from the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management (SHTM) put their hospitality training practice through a fine dining service for the School of Business and Accountancy (SBA) during its Professional Development (ProDev) culminating activity at Casa Nena on September 17.
As a pre-requisite for Fundamentals of Food Service Operations (FoodServ), HM-301 students took charge of preparing the dishes in the kitchen, while HM-301-A students handled the dining service and served the guests throughout the event.
The event featured a five-course meal beginning with bread and butter, followed by egg drop soup, coleslaw, and chicken teriyaki as the main course, before concluding with almond jelly with lychee for dessert. The menu revolves around Asian-inspired dishes, combining savory and sweet flavors from different Asian cuisines.
The fine dining service provided SHTM students with an opportunity to apply their trainings into an actual service setting, particularly in food preparation and handling, dining service, coordination, and guest handling, while the activity served as SBA's Culminating activity for its Professional development program, bringing students from both departments in an experiential setting that highlighted connection between business and hospitality service.
