Food/Dining Experience : Nero Vivo

Okay ! Continuing from the last post ! Like i said plenty of stuff i have to update all of you on !

We were assigned to do a F&B Project to dissect and understand what it takes to run a food establishment, we were given lots to draw and my group consisting of Me,Gary and Luis drew the fine dining option, it was awesome at first but then we realize its completely hard to find a fine-dine restaurant who will take a group of students seriously but nevertheless we tried ! So we went to Nerovivo', an italian restaurant up the hill in Bukit Ceylon !

The restaurant was quite secluded, it wasn't very hard to find the restaurant but the outside was covered with  bushes and a big tree, it did give the outside view of the establishment a zen looking front ! The supervisor of the day Mr.Philip was very warm and polite, he led us to our table and entertained us with the questions we had for him , he and the rest of the staff had a very thick accent that we could not get passed we had to ask a few times to actually understand his answers, he was very patient with us though ! After our interview he left us to let us enjoy our lunch ! Pictures below !

Pizza ! Ham,Mushroom,Pepperoni and Artichoke topping!

Grilled Supreme' Cut Chicken :)  My order

Gary's Rack of Lamb 

Rissoto with Cheddar , Luis's order

One of the staff in Uniform and the Limoncello'

One of the chef at hard work making the delicious bread and pizza's

Overall we concluded that the restaurant was fairly good, the service could be improved at the technical side and their serving techniques.The food was good but the chicken was a little dry, however their pizza is quite delicious even with the artichoke which most of us don't eat . Overall its an average of 6.5/10 from the three of us :) !

Hey Guys :) I hope you've been doing well, Its going to be a long long post just to update you on what i have  been doing in the city of Kuala Lumpur, and in college of course and the wonderful people in it.

First of all ! The Berjaya University College of Hospitality , don't ask me why they have a college after the word university, i have yet to figure that out myself. It's been only a semester, and i've come too appreciate the fact that it isnt the Campus that i've been dreaming of in highschool, no big grounds, complicating hallways, no numerous blocks that have all the letters of the alphabets, no awesome landscape or greenery or lake, just the industrious looking building in brown in the heart of the town.

and yes it is a Hotel+Shopping Mall+University+ Indoor Theme Park (WOOO), so far travelling up and down the building isnt that bad ! The elevators are quite slow though. The college is located on the 11th and 14th floor , 11th being the main lobby area and 14th floor being the studio's for us budding chefs to cook in ! 

People i have meet in this Sem :) 

The whole class of Sept 2012 intake ! :) + Chef Andy !

I'd like to put more pictures but i'm soo lazy ! This is just a glimpse of who i've been with the past 3 months !  They've been nothing but lovely and funny that can get you on the floor rolling with your guts spilling out, obviously there can be no sunshine without the rain so there have been some misunderstandings and quarrels but we learn and make-up :). Overall being in the college is a superbly fresh and exciting experience for me ! 

As for the KL city life , its JAM JAM JAM everywhere ! I hate it ._. but i don't have it so bad because i use the public transport ! The Bus and the Monorail is quite consistent but its quite annoying to get on the public transport during peak hours, because you'll just be squashed up against the window in both the bus and the monorail ! Super packed like sardines ! >_< and ewwww not to mention sweaty bodies pressed against you LOLS, and you cannot be NICE i repeat CANNOT BE NICE, when queuing old ladies just cut infront of you , but thats okay since their old, i give them the seniority pass, but >_> some middle age and young adults are idiots and rude bastards who just don't give a shit ._. , so in return you don't have to be nice to them just curse at them.

Oh yes did i mention i'm not living in the hostel ? :D hahahaha i'm living with my cousin Stacey ! and her boyfriend Vincent, its a cosy place,only thing is the kitchen is so small D: i no like small kitchen, but that's okay its just temporary anyways. It feels quite awesome actually to have a room to yourself , and the freedom of course ! Learnt a lot from her as well X) , oh we also have a lagoon shaped swimming pool,ping pong court, squash court,badminton& basketball court, bbq pit and gym ! Friendly security too ! Its been an awesome two and a half months with her and the adventures she's given me ! Check her Blog out :) !! 

This post shall be continued ! :)
