4th Day at Yosh
Since I was already given the training schedule yesterday, it was easy for me to identify which kuya or ate to approach for instructions on the order of work. I am to finish about 22 hours for rice-- which includes rice washing, rice cooking, and rice dishing-out. Kuya Erick was my trainor for the day since he was in charge of the the rice section. When I approached him, he then taught me the proper way of doing rice washings and rice cooking, and luckily I immediately did a hands-on. He then told me that substandard ways are sometimes tempting to do especially if there are many customers, but he joked that he only has the right to do that. I am proud that I was able to accomplish two 3-kg rice for my shift, with Kuya Erick only watching me (hooray!).
I also noticed that sir Ethan constantly reminds the crew to observe CAYGo (Clean as you go), since the crew members often leave their stations messy because, again, of the MANY orders. It is really hard, considering the fact that the kitchen area is not that big, but then again, it is definitely not a reason not to do so. As Sir Ethan said, "Kaya naman palang malinis ang kitchen eh!"
I was also able to slice a 1-kg pack of onions for use with the katsudon, and my patience was really tested because I feel like I was working on it for 10 years! HAHAHA!
In the 4 days that I have been working at Yosh Mega, I can say that I am slowly getting attuned to the VERY BUSY way of life there, and this is made possible by the friendly crew members. Everytime I work at a station, I get to chitchat with the crew about personal stuff:)
