My third day on SIEP was trying different character as a waitress. At the lunch hour that with crowded of people, I am helping Madam Choo to taking orders and also sending their meals to them. Madam Choo told me that for some customers who come every day, we have to remember about their habit like a customer who always order Nasi Lemak but he doesn’t want peanut, we used to remember their habit to make them feel he is important and friendly to them. It is a new challenge to me because I am new for it and sometimes they didn’t really tell me what was their habit, so I need to ask Madam Choo one by one. Other than that, Nasi Lemak was preparing by Madam Choo, so I also need to help Madam Choo to prepare Nasi Lemak. The ingredient that Nasi Lemak of Country Recipe include is rice, peanut and anchovies, sambal that cooked by Madam Tong herself, half full boil egg and also a piece of curry chicken. If some customer doesn’t want to have curry chicken, they might have a choice to have two slices of luncheon as replacement.

Madam Choo will always have an apron to put for the exchange money. She was great on her calculation, she can just collect money and giving the change money to customer without using calculator. She will get the exchange money every morning from Mr. Woon and the money all will giving back to Mr. Woon that she collects every day. Some of the customer might also come to counter for paying their bill. Normally, I am the one who standing at the counter and waiting customer calling us to collect their fees that they spent in our restaurant. It need a high attention at the front counter.

Since I have done my part of job, Mr Woon tried to give me some new task which is help him to make the noodles. Firstly, he will do the first phrase for me which is mix the ingredient like flour, eggs, salt into mixer to mix it. After it become a dough, we need to mix it until soft, it takes a long time to make sure that the noodle won’t be too soft and with tenacity. Making the noodles, it makes me feel tired and also take a long time because it needs a lot of effort. At last, Mr Woon help me to done the last section because I take long time so maybe will make the dough loss it toughness.
