<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday 18 May, Year 10 Food Technology students visited Sydney Tower restaurant, located in Sydney Tower at the top of Westfield Sydney in the CBD. Year 10 Food Technology students have been studying the topic \u2018Food Service and Catering\u2019. In this unit students have explored profit and non-profit operations, front-of-house and back-of-house career opportunities, as well as how food service and catering establishments contribute to the economic, social and cultural fabric of Australian society. Our visit to Sydney Tower Restaurant was an opportunity to see a very popular restaurant in action. The visit included a tour of the premises, which includes Infinity, a fine dining restaurant, Bar 83 and SkyFeast, the buffet restaurant. We were also able to visit the kitchens and have a chef speak to us about how the kitchens operate. At the end of our tour we enjoyed lunch in the buffet restaurant and got to see the beautiful views of Sydney. As Sydney Tower is a main tourist attraction the buffet includes over 30 international dishes including seafood and desserts while you take a 360 degree revolving tour of Sydney 82 floors below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student reflections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The excursion was an experience you wouldn’t ever get, to go underground to the kitchen and observe how they store the food, their techniques, and the preparations for the buffet and dining experience upstairs. The food was delicious, a whole hour of all-you-can-eat. Such a fascinating yet fun experience.<\/p>Anabell David<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the excursion was a wonderful and interesting experience and I learned so much about a day in the life working in the hospitality industry. I especially enjoyed going under the restaurant, into the kitchen, to see how the staff operate behind the scenes. I also loved sharing a meal with my friends at the revolving buffet, the view was spectacular!<\/p>Raqul Abdallah<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed looking behind the scenes of the famous revolving restaurant, and the layout of the kitchen. I loved eating delicious food with a view of the city.\u00a0<\/p>Emily Gilmore<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
