Surabaya — The first-year Culinary Arts students and the second-year Baking & Pastry Arts students at OTTIMMO International recently collaborated on an amazing small project event. Students were able to test their knowledge and practical abilities by organizing, preparing, decorating, and serving in a real restaurant-style setting at the event, which was held on the OTTIMMO International campus.

The project was divided into three main concepts: Fine Dining (Japanese food), À la Carte (Malay cuisine), and Buffet (French, Italian, and Spanish cuisine). In a real-world simulation that tested their culinary and hospitality skills, each group was in complete control of their own restaurant theme, menu design, room décor, and guest experience.

Based on the designated topic, students were encouraged to make their own meals and pastries. Additionally, they had to extend an invitation to dine at their restaurant and make sure that every detail, including the menu and table settings, was carefully considered and expertly done.

Each group was organized similarly to a front-of-house and professional kitchen crew. The Head Chefs, Chef de Partie (CDP) for the Culinary and Pastry departments, Service Leaders, and Team Members were appointed. By serving as serving staff and baristas and making sure that every plate and cup delivered complied to professional standards, the service crew was in charge of providing the greatest possible guest experience.

One of OTTIMMO’s signature academic programs, this modest project’s goal to develop students’ leadership, collaboration, creativity, and practical knowledge in a controlled setting that focuses inspiration from real life. The project was a huge success, demonstrating once more how OTTIMMO International continues to develop the next generation of culinary and pastry leaders with inventiveness evident in every dish and design.

In addition to developing students’ culinary and pastry-making abilities, OTTIMMO International supports their pursuit of interests outside of the kitchen. To assist this, OTTIMMO has established two student activity clubs: the Basketball Club and the Badminton Club.

Both organizations give students an enjoyable and interesting approach to stay active by holding practice sessions once a week. In addition to providing to students’ athletic interests, these clubs aim to strengthen connections between students and make the campus community livelier and closer.

By joining these clubs, students have the opportunity to balance their academic and culinary passions with physical activities that promote well-being and teamwork. OTTIMMO believes that a well-rounded student experience contributes to personal and professional growth, making these extracurricular activities an essential part of campus life.

Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events. Let’s stay active and connected!

Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka adalah program dalam dunia pendidikan yang sudah di galangkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia pada Januari tahun 2020. Apa itu program Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka?
Dikutip dalam halaman Harian Kompas, menurut Dirjen Dikti Ristek Prof. Nizam, kebijakan Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) yang diluncurkan Mendikbud Ristek Nadiem Makarim merupakan kerangka untuk menyiapkan mahasiswa menjadi sarjana yang tangguh, relevan dengan kebutuhan zaman, dan siap menjadi pemimpin dengan semangat kebangsaan yang tinggi. Nizam mengaku, Kampus Medeka memberikan hak kepada mahasiswa untuk tiga semester belajar di luar program studinya. Di program Kampus Merdeka, mahasiswa memiliki kesempatan 1 semester atau setara 20 SKS untuk menempuh pembelajaran di luar program studi pada perguruan tinggi yang sama. “Bisa juga paling lama 2 semester atau setara 40 sks menempuh pembelajaran pada program studi yang sama di perguruan tinggi berbeda,” ucap Nizam belum lama ini. Melalui program ini, terbuka kesempatan luas bagi mahasiswa untuk memperkaya dan meningkatkan wawasan serta kompetensinya di dunia nyata sesuai dengan passion dan cita-citanya. Dia meyakini, pembelajaran dapat terjadi di mana saja, tidak hanya di ruang kelas, perpustakaan dan laboratorium, tetapi juga bisa di desa, industri, tempat-tempat kerja, tempat-tempat pengabdian, pusat riset, maupun di masyarakat. Nizam menyebut, ada 9 kegiatan kampus merdeka yang bisa dijalani oleh mahasiswa, yakni kegiatan magang di industri, pertukaran mahasiswa, membangun desa, mengajar di sekolah, penelitian di lembaga riset, pengembangan kewirausahaan, studi independen/proyek mandiri, proyek kemanusiaan, dan bela negara. “Ini kita lakukan (meluncurkan Kampus Merdeka) demi menyiapkan sumber daya manusia (SDM) unggul yang sesuai perkembangan zaman, kemajuan IPTEK, tuntutan dunia usaha dan dunia industri, dinamika masyarakat, dan mampu menciptakan inovasi dan melahirkan produk merah-merah putih,” kata Nizam.

Dalam rangka mendukung program pemerintah terkait program MBKM tersebut, Akademi Kuliner dan Patiseri OTTIMMO International mengadakan kegiatan yaitu berupa edukasi gizi untuk pencegahan anak stunting.

Hygiene and sanitation are two things that are closely related to each other. Hygiene is a health effort by maintaining and protecting the cleanliness of the subject, such as washing hands with clean water and soap to protect hand hygiene, washing dishes to keep the plates clean, throwing away damaged parts of food to protect the integrity of the food as a whole. Meanwhile, sanitation is a health effort by maintaining and protecting the environmental cleanliness of the subject, for example providing clean water for washing hands or providing rubbish bins to collect rubbish. Sanitation also has several other goals, namely improving, maintaining and restoring human health, maximizing production efficiency and producing products that are healthy and safe from various influences that can cause disease in humans.

Likewise, food must be clean and processed properly. In food management, there are 6 principles that must be considered, namely the condition of food ingredients, how to store food ingredients, the processing process, how to transport cooked food, how to store cooked food and how to serve cooked food. Food and drink equipment that can be used, such as plates, glasses, bowls, spoons or forks, must also be clean. Several things that must be paid attention to are that the shape of the equipment is intact, not damaged, deformed, cracked or has uneven grooves. Clean equipment is prohibited from being held in places where food or drink is placed or placed in the mouth because microbial contamination will occur through the fingers. Apart from that, equipment that is cracked, chipped or broken apart from causing accidents (injuring hands) is also a source of dirt collection because it will not be washed properly and we are not allowed to reuse equipment that is designed for single use only.

Seeing the importance of this, the OTTIMMO International Culinary and Patisserie Academy through food hygiene and sanitation courses conducted industrial visits for first year students. The aim of this activity is so that students can understand the standards for the process of storing and making food in a clean manner in accordance with five-star hotel standards. The activity which will take place on November 29 2023 will take place at the FairField By Marriott hotel. Around 61 students followed and listened to explanations from professional chefs at the hotel, starting from cleanliness standards in the kitchen, how to store food, ideal temperatures for food storage areas, restaurant rooms, to ballroom capacity standards at events. In this course, each student is required to make a report explaining what they learned during their field trip.

Our hope is that after students take the field trip class, they will be able to understand better and provide more knowledge about hygiene standards in the kitchen and how to maintain clean food, because everything will return to health for everyone who consumes it. Health is something that the body absolutely needs. Without health, humans cannot move and work. When you are sick, you really feel the importance of health for a person. So, let’s work together to maintain health, starting from the smallest things, namely paying attention to the cleanliness of the food and drinks we consume every day.
