End of longest lasagne

Finally... marked the epilogue of the longest lasagne...
a very tiring event... Zzz...
yeah... and i'm blogging this iv only a half sane and half sleeping mind...
worked from 11pm - 1pm...
14 hrs... Zzz...
it's not fun at all...
the feeling of booking in when everybody else is going home sucks...
ok... we were quite energetic in the beginning stages...
till Zhou Gong start knocking into our heads...
dat's when things start to look sian...
anyways... here's an account of wat we did the night b4...

i wanna sleep le... LOL... :P
started work at 11pm...
den need to wait till function rooms and banquet kitchens are cleared b4 we can start work...
pushed all lasagnes to respective kitchens to start baking process concurrently...
due to the amount of lasagnes to be baked...
we need to bake then in 5 different kitchens for 3 seperate times...
due to the lack of combi-ovens for our 1000+ lasagnes...

after we placed all lasagnes into their respective kitchens...
we had a little break...
to wait for 4am... when we'll be starting to bake the lasagnes...
so passed by the laundry area...
and O_o...
all the part-time banquet staff throw their clothes all over the shop...
even on the floor too... -_-
i pity the laundry ppl...

Juz look at the mess...

4am...
started baking the lasagnes...
all of us seperated to different kitchens to proceed wif the baking...
KM and i were stationed in Chinese Banquet Kitchen...
Ben's in Main Kitchen... i think... :P
and wow...
i saw a VERY old fashioned rotating oven...
it's like a ferris wheel inside...
wif 5 "beds"
enough to fit 5 of us inside lying down and rotating... O_o
now dat's a huge oven...
wanted to take a photo of it...
but inside too dark... so didn'e in the end... :P
but i took a picture of the lasagnes baking in the combi-oven... :)

Baking in process...


9am... completion of baking of lasagnes...
so moved all food warmers to all available exits of the hotel...
waited for the go code to start pushing out the lasagnes...
will then be assembling the lasagnes at abt 9:45am...
judges will then have to measure the lasagne for a total of 560m
b4 it starts going on sale at 10am...

yeah... i was supposed to be at station 2...
but minor setback...
so got send to the end of the tail instead at station 28... -_-
coz the stewarding measured wrongly... Zzz...
so business was very bad at the tail...
but very good in the front and the lobby of Raffles The Plaza...
which i heard...

Me and the lasagne...

pushing back all the leftover lasagnes back to Jr. Ballroom Kitchen...
ta pao them into take-away boxes for the students who helped...
and for those who wanna bring home some lasagnes...

and yeah... the students were so happy to be able to bring back the lasagnes...
even more happy when we told them take as much as u want...
