October 1, Friday 4:00-7:00—-----3hr First day I went to the

restaurant and had an


introduction with my mentor
and had got to know him a
little better and got to share
some things of my own and
explained to him what my
idea is and what I need to
accomplish by my time, then
we went inside the kitchen
where it was nerve racking
because there were so many
people working inside and
then there was me who
barely knows what to do then
got to know where i would be
expected to work. Did nothing
but still got tired..lol

October 2nd, Saturday 2:02-5:00–3hr Day 2.


Went back and got to know
the people working there and
got to know whose station is
where. It's basically like one
or two people have their own
stations where they work like
the order is sent to the
kitchen then the chef makes it
and leaves it on the side and
then the person who packs
the order, takes it and packs
it and hands it out to the
person outside. Then after
that I had a conversation with
them to get to know them
there and started talking
about the plan of the
capstone with my mentor and
what we should work on first
and how many things i should
add to the website. After that i
went home and forgot
everyone’s name :)

October 3rd, Sunday 1:30-3:37–2hr Went inside the kitchen and


had gotten to know where
they keep the spices and in
which order they keep it, like
the spice level order and then
got to know the names of the
people working inside again
and started making my first
beverage which was the chai
tea which took me around 3-4
rounds to get it perfect. How i
made it was by asking my
mentor the recipe and
followed it but added less
ingredients to it because i
would have to make it
multiple times

October 8th, Friday 5:00-7:12–2hr Did some safety drills and


some emergency procedures
like what to do during a fire or
where are the safety kits and
where the band aids are,
what to do if someone gets
injured like if someone got cut
by a knife and what should I
do. Then I saw 2-3 videos of
the Food safe procedure, in
the video they showed a
person cooking something
but i had been told to watch
for something unsanitary and
something that could harm
the person or the people
around them and yeah.

October 9th Saturday 2:30-4:30–2hr Had a conversation with my


mentor and started to plan
out the cookbook and layout
the rough idea of how many
pages there should be in the
book and how i would fit the
images and what section
would be there to write
October 10 Sunday 3-5–2hr Went to the kitchen and met
my mentor and he showed
me how to make pasta but in
his way, and so while he was
making it, i took some notes
down of what things he is
adding and in what order he’s
adding them and noted the
timings of how long the pasta
should be boiled for and how
i can clean it. Then it was my
turn to take over and so I
started making the pasta like
he did and would look over
my notes but would try not to
use them that much

October 15 Friday 4-6–2hr Went to the restaurant and


started sharing about the
things that I had planned to
make, which I took some
dishes from the menu that I
thought would be able to be
made at home and also the
ones that I thought wouldn’t
be challenging but had
planned to add one
challenging dish in it. So we
had a long conversation of
what things I should add and
what things i shouldn’t

October 16 Saturday 3-5–2hr Rather than going to the


restaurant I took the day off
and had started writing down
the recipe from my phone of
the pasta and the tea onto
the paper that would turn out
to be would be my page for
the cookbook and had did
some research about the
food itself like where it was
first made and who first made
it and whether if it was a
healthy choice

October 17 Sunday 6-8—2hr Today I learned something


new!! Today I learned how to
make some vegetarian
noodles! The first time Lucky
had asked me if I had made
noodles ever in my life and I
had said only once, and so
we added noodles to the list
and so we went inside the
kitchen then he had told me
what I would have to add in
them and how long it would
take for me to make them. So
first he went while i was
looking at him make it, but i
had forgotten to write down
the ingredients and the steps
so when he had finished it i
asked him for the recipes and
ths steps so while he was
telling me them I was writing
it down in my notes on my
phone and after telling me it
we had eaten the noodles so
i can taste it and now how
they should taste like and
then it was my turn and
surprisingly I did pretty good
besides the fact I added
wayyy to much soy sauce.

October 22 friday 4:30-6:37— 2hr So today i took my rough


draft to the restaurant and
had started drawing out the
rough draft of the cookbook
but then I had wanted to
switch to making a website
instead so I talked to lucky
and asked him whether if i
should switch or not and he
said it would be a good idea
to make it into a website and
so I switched to making my
website which took me like 30
minutes and the remaining
time I learned how to make
some Honey chili potatoes!
So first the same routine
happened, first he went and
showed me how to make the
dishes and also told me the
recipes and the steps while
making it, then we tired some
and so i knew that this is how
mine should taste like and so
i had went and tried to make
it and then after we were
done I added all the feedback
that lucky had given me to
notes.

October 23 saturday 2-4:30– 2.5hr Today we made some fried


rice! So today I learned how
to cook the rice properly and
after cooking a batch of rice i
called down lucky to help me
out and so he went first and
he told me the recipes and
the ingredients of the fried
rice and so i took my notes
down and so after writing
them down we ate some of
the rice so i could know how
it would taste like and so it
was my turn, but while i was
cutting the veggies i didn’t
realize that i had cut my
finger so i took some time off
and put my finger under cold
water and band aid myself
and was good to go and
started making the rice now

October 24 sunday 6-9– 3hr Today we came in a little late


but I think it’s because Lucky,
i'm not really sure what
happened but he said i’ll be a
bit late so i just went along
with it and so i got some time
to rest a little. Today we went
and he taught me how to
make some Tandoori
boneless chicken which was
honestly one of the most time
consuming and the hardest
dish i made so far. Again we
did the same thing he made it
and then i took the notes and
and it was my turn but i wasnt
really satisfied with the dish
because i made some errors
and so i aksed him if we
could re make it on friday and
he said ok, then when we ate
my chicken then lucky told
me some point that is should
work on for the future.

October 29 Friday 4-6–2hr Today we really didn’t do


anything time consuming
because it was almost
halloween and the people at
the restaurant needed some
time to prepare for the “big
day” as they call it, they told
some facts how like on
halloween, christmas and
new years they always beat
their previous record of the
total sale. So it was a big
deal. So we went there and
we made some Filter coffee
which to be honest was kinda
a surprise for me because i
had never ever heard of what
a filter coffee is and what it
tasted like, and so it was the
same thing again, lucky went
first and then i took some
notes and then i went after.
Then after making the coffee i
wrote the ingredients and the
recipes and then after doing
that i help them out because
it was busy and so i worked
at the till for some time and it
was pretty fun to be honest
and it wasn't as hard as i
thought it would be

October 30 sunday 1.5 hour Today i took the day off so i


can work on my website and
add the dishes i made onto
the website and basically
that's all i did because i don't
feel like working that much
because it was almost
halloween and so yeah

November 5 friday 5:10-7–2 hr Today we made some cheese


fingers. So we went inside
the kitchen and got ready to
make the cheese fingers, the
first time Lucky showed me
how to cut the cheese like
how thick and how long it
should be, and also he
showed me how to make the
batter and he made it. He
made like 4 sticks just to
show me and so i tried a bite
and it was actually pretty
good! Then he told me the
ingredients and the recipes
and then it was my turn to go.
For my turn i did the exact
same thing but i made the
batter too thin and so which is
why it wouldn't stick onto the
cheese and so i had to redo
the batter again and it worked
this time.

November 6 saturday 7-9–2 hr Today we made some


delicious mango shake and
so first he went then i did but
something really exciting
happened today which was
that today i had the
opportunity to make the
meals for the people who
can’t afford it! Basically in the
meal they would give out
Butter chicken, rice and some
naan bread. Today i had the
opportunity to make some
butter chicken and naan. My
main focus was on naan
because the butter chicken
was going to be made in a
huge chunk and so which is
hwy i made the naans

November 7 sunday 3-5 hr–2 Today was the last day of me


coming to the restaurant, and
so i had the chance to thank
everyone for being supportive
to me and also had the
chance to make any dish
from my capstone or from the
menu and so i did that and i
also talked to lucky if he was
looking to hire a new person
because i really enjoyed
spending my weekends at
this place and being around
such nice people! Also
because I am free on the
weekends and have nothing
to do.

Thursday December 16 12-3—3hr Ok so today i wasn’t really


feeling sleepy so i was
watching some netflix then i
realized that i had to work on
my capstone, so i went to my
cooking website and i looked
back at my notes and added
the other food dishes i made
and i edited the website

December 28 2 hr So again i wasn’t really


sleepy so i thought might as
well work on the website and
this time I had typed out my
other two dishes and had
played a little with the
backgrounds and the colours
to see which one looks better,
and after doing that i had sent
it to Lucky to take a look at it
and am still waiting for him to
reply…. Ok so now he finaly
replied and he said that the
website needed some minor
changes and so i made them
and i was done my
capstone!!!
