Cafe' Balaclava

Once again, a new group of students have been selected for Café Balaclava and have made some great meals again!

From chicken snitchels to ice cream food cannot get any better.

The first week, the group made pasta, brownies and milk shakes. The milkshakes were perfect, as were the brownies. Judging by all the comments, the pasta was prepared to perfection.

The next week, Café Balaclava made chicken parmigiana, fried rice, orange slushies, chocolate ice-cream in a cup and lamington. The chicken parmigiana was a little undercooked, but despite this, many students had taken the risk of contracting salmonella and ate the chicken which they said tasted very nice. The fried rice was under salted, however the chicken was prepared perfectly and the vegetables complimented the dish perfectly. The orange slushy was very well made, many had descried it as a 7-11 slurpy and the crushed ice was greatly adored by the tiered students eager for refreshment. It is evident that their chocolate ice-cream was home brand, yet it did not stop any students in eating and greatly enjoying it. The lamington was very sweet, making it an absolute pleasure to eat.

The third week of Café Balaclava, the students made Teriyaki Chicken wraps, orange juice, milkshakes and brownies. The Teriyaki Chicken smelt as though it had been made in a restaurant, it was precisely salted and the vegetables were yet another bonus. The drinks group made the most tasteful orange juice many had tasted, despite all the pulp. The milk shakes were an absolute delight to drink and were very refreshing. The brownies were soft and had been made very well; however, they did not beat the brownies made by the first group this year.

The most recent Café Balaclava dishes were: “The Lot” burger, Malteser muffins, strawberry smoothies and potato chips. All the dishes looked great and were very tasty and not to mention very refreshing. The burger was great but cooled down very quickly and that was the only down side to that. The malteser muffins tasted great; in fact it was one of the best desserts that the café Balaclava team have created. The strawberry smoothies tasted great and were very refreshing and the potato chips were good but a little soggy and they cooled down really fast. The café Balaclava team did great and finished the term strong.

The new Café Balaclava team has put a lot of effort into preparing the food and have created a beautiful impression of all the staff and students in the Balaclava campus all on a plate!!!
