Rockpool Trial Report

Well woke up early for the first time in a long time, But was raring to go none the less. It was also really hot last night so i didnt get too much sleep, But anyway get to rockpool bit before 9am and report for duty. First off i make their homemade 'tomato ketchup' which was tasty mmmm then i do some work for larder section and then im moved into the 'fish room' which is the most badass thing for a kitchen.

Basically they get all their fish in whole and break it all down in the 'fish room' Plus in this room there is fish tanks for lobster, abalone, scallops and clams which is just awesome. And is really well setup plus everything is obviously brand new so more awesome-ness, so yeh cleaned up a whole bunch of fish which i hadnt done too much of before and then watched some service and saw some food go out, and then went home. It all went really well and everyone seemed cool and id really love to work there, Soo many possible oppurtunities in the kitchen and so much to learn.

Also in rockpool melbourne and sydney they have installed big plasma screens with cameras showing each kitchen to the other, So whilst im chopping onions for the 'tomato ketchup' im watching myself on a plasma screen, How balla is that! Kinda like the runner who watched himself win a sprint race or the guy who watched himself run in a touchdown except im not that balla but on my way.

So yeh i find out in a week and a half if i got the job as they still have people to trial as they had a massive response to the ad.

Wish me some more luck please.
