Twenty-one students of SEGi taking the Diploma in Hotel Management and the Diploma in Culinary Arts recently ran a full fine-dining service for dinner guests as part of their practical exam. This was the first time that this dinner service was held during the month of Ramadan, taking place on 18 April 2023 at SEGi Sarawak Restaurant at the SEGi Branch Campus. The purpose of this dinner-service practical exam is to avail the students of knowledge and skills in the running of a restaurant.
The Hotel Management students have been taught about the setting up of a restaurant, various restaurant environments according to themes, how to communicate with guests, and how to run a professional fine-dining service. The Diploma in Culinary Art students have been taught multiple cooking skills, how to present food in a pleasing and professional way, and the proper presentation of food. From this dinner service, the students had the chance to develop additional skills in interpersonal communication, decision-making, creativity, and leadership.
