Chef Busky demonstrates as media participants, including SHABANA CASSIE PUNJAWANI try their culinary skills.

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Berjaya University College of Hospitality (BUCH) is a new  learning institution that specialises in Hospitality, Tourism and Services education.

It was indeed an eye-opener, to join BUCH Media Familiarisation Tour and visit this uniquely placed University College, offering programmes related to hospitality, tourism and services management from foundation to postgraduate levels.

Facilities available  include fully-integrated high-tech lecture theatres, classrooms, seminar rooms, dedicated computer labs, as well as state-of-the-art learning stations such as culinary labs, preparation kitchens, pastry labs, a bakery, a culinary theatre, a culinary studio lab, a coffee academy, a chocolate & sugar  artistry lab and many more.

Students would also get to practice the skills learnt at the gourmet café and fine dining training restaurant located on the 14th floor of the Berjaya Times Square, aptly named ‘Samplings on the 14th’.

One of the highlights of the tour, is the demo-cum-workshop themed “Budget Friendly and Healthy Spread of High-Tea Delicacies” conducted by the academic team from the School of Culinary Arts.

Led by the school’s director, chef Busky Baskaran Matthews, participants transformed a selection of convenience food within minutes into alluring high-tea delicacies, including Exotic Instant Canapés, Flavoursome Fish in Pockets, Choc-a-sponge, and Dainty Tiramisu Spoonies.Well, perhaps my creations turned out a bit wobbly but they sure were delicious!
