The topic on Art of Corporate Entertainment 1 has taught me all the important things to take note, as a guest and as a host. It also educates me on the correct dining etiquette. Even cutting a meat takes knowledge and skills, and that is to not saw the meat, lumber mill which is cutting the meat into several smaller pieces. I find this so useful, now I am able to present myself professionally while dining in a formal restaurant.
I have also learnt when to drink wine, and what wine to pair with what food, as well as how to order a wine if I’m not sure of the taste. This would be useful, as it would keep me away from having awkward moments with my dining partner.
Hence, through learning this topic, I would be very confident in hosting a meal, being a good guest, as well as to know the right things to do at the right time. I strongly believe that dining etiquette is highly relevant in this world, be it for normal office gathering, friend’s invitation to a meal, or a formal business dinner.
Now, I am also clear about the different styles of eating, e.g. Continental Style and American Style. This would help me by using the correct style of eating when I’m with different groups of people. Furthermore, in this tourism industry, food and beverage is essential and thus this topic is very critical. This would also prevent any awkward situation occurring during the meal.
Well hey! Check this out: My dining task with Cindy and Freya. They are really great guests, and I am sure that I did a good job as a host too! :)
