UP
CHE-TEAROOM
In 1961,
the Board of Regents of the University of the Philippines
approved the installation of the Tearoom in the new Home Economics
building in order to “serve as a laboratory for students
majoring in nutrition and dietetics”.
The Tearoom,
since then, has undergone a lot of changes. It functions as
a resource unit to all programs of the College and as a training
laboratory of Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management
and Nutrition students. Actual work experiences as the Tearoom
provide excellent opportunities for students to apply management
principles in planning, preparation and service of food which
are nutritious, safe and high quality.
Nevertheless,
with or without the class functions, the Tearoom continued
its regular service hour operations and consequently was accomplishing
financial statements which are used by commercial food service
establishments. The Tearoom also undertook off-premise catering
contracts.
The Tearoom
has served for forty (40) years already and has prove to stand
beyond the tests of time. Still functioning and gaining income,
Tearoom has not failed to provide the needs of its customers
and has catered to many students, faculty and staff.
The Tearoom
offers a casual dining experience with a seating capacity
of 75, that features fine food and service, but devoid of
the stiff formalities of formal dining, with the menu executed
in the context of Asian culture, incorporating modern and
western influences. |
