Culture Shock Excursion to Monkee & Co

The Year 9 Culture Shock class were immersed into the delightful restaurant of Monkee & Co last week. Students have been learning about International cuisines and Asian food and culture has been on top of the list! Students listened intently to Anna as she described her love and passion for Asian food. Other points of interest included food preparation and service, sourcing market fresh ingredients, catering for dietary requirements and creating a menu. Students were appreciative of the sample tastings and valuable insights into Anna’s career as a chef.

This class has also just recently completed their design brief assessments where they selected an Asian style noodle dish to cook for themselves and a partner. We had a brilliant array of dishes including Ramen soups, Singapore noodles, fried rice, pad thai, with some students even creating their own recipes from scratch. This assessment saw students develop skills in food ordering, planning, styling and presenting, with of course the best part....tasting and enjoying their wonderful creations! We are very proud of the teamwork and commitment they have demonstrated in this class. 

Well done Year 9 Culture Shock!
