Food Tasting Day = Crazy Day

I reached cafe 7.45am and took out all raw materials for preparation. I sat down and had my breakfast which I bought on my way to the cafe. People started to arrive and everything seems to be fine. The new chef was here today and he definitely did a great job in producing good food. We started to work at 8.30 in the morning and got everything done by 12. Everything was fine except for certain small detail like someone came in trying to give us some hard time. Today was first day so I guess it was okay.

Lecturers came in for food tasting around 1 and comments were flying all over. You just need to run around to catch them. Haha.. In this case, darling was the runner I guess. I was busy running around in the kitchen, thank God darling and Rishi were there. Everything turned out fine, way better than I thought it would be. I was so happy at the end of the day.

I'm currently in a shutting down mode, hopefully I can write more details next time. Continue to pray for me:)

GoodNight

The Beginning

I'm starting up this blog in hope to record my journey running the cafe with my dearest boyfriend and fellow friends.

We discussed about idea of running the cafe few months back when the cafe was not doing so well. We liked the concept of the cafe and felt that it's sad to see the cafe closing down. After all the discussions, we went to see some related people to gain some information on the cafe. Suddenly I got excited and decided to try running the cafe. We told prof that we're going to take over the cafe and try to run it for a semester. We have no turning back already as we found out that half of the faculty know that we're opening the cafe. Decisions needed to be made fast but exam took my attention away from the cafe and the cameron trip took my time to actually sit down and plan for the cafe. When I was finally free, I flew back to Sabah for holiday. Everything need to be done while I was there when the rest are here.

As time goes by, we are nearing opening already. Embun Cafe is the result of everybody's hard work and I hope it will do well in the future days.

Tomorrow is the food tasting day for all lecturers. Pray for us.

p/s: Let's hope that I have time and not too tired to update everyday :p
