THE DANNA,
A LUXURY
ESPLANADE
By: Muhamad Shafiq Zarulail & Fatimah Abd Ghani
T
he Danna, a 5-star luxury hotel in Langkawi, the Jewel of Kedah tells a tale of a lifestyle getaway. It is enveloped by the immaculate
splendor of sandy beach, marina and lush tropical hills. This award-winning hotel embraces the architectural beauty from the Colonial era in a
Mediterranean ambiance, which offers travelers an experience of luxury vacation in Malaysia. The Danna is a place of my choice for internship
because of its luxurious characters and I believed that The Danna promised valuable experiences for everyone.
During the first day of arrival, warmest welcoming was given by The Danna’s Housing Coordinator, Mr. Hafiz. He was the person in charge who
picked me up at the Langkawi Ferry Jetty. He brought me to a restaurant nearby to grab a lunch together before we proceed to The Danna’s
hostel for checking-in. Upon check in at the hostel, I saw such beautiful place, which is a condominium with swimming pool opposite the
building. It is also included with a magnificent view of the sea and lush tropical hills. My accommodation was fully furnished and equipped
with an air-conditioner with 3 rooms plus an Astro decoder; such accommodations being given to every team member of The Danna.
On my first day of reporting duty as a trainee, I started my day by taking shuttle as early as 0700 am to The Danna. It took around 45 minutes
to reach The Danna from the condominium itself. Throughout the journey, everyone could enjoy panoramic views of the island itself, from the
busy town to the urban scape. Such magnificent and refreshing view of nature, it felt so peaceful. Upon arrival, I took a step into the Human
Resource Department and met Mr. Shahril, Training Manager of The Danna. He accompanied me for breakfast at the hotel staff café named
Tiffin Café before we proceed with the registration and hotel tour. We had an introduction talk and met all of the Human Resource staff,
including Mr. Muneshwaran, the Director of Human Resource department.
Next, Mr. Shahril brings me for a quick tour of
The Danna from the front house to the back
to the house. I met most of the staff and they
were very courteous and friendly, thus I felt
welcomed immediately. I was so amazed to
see every inch of the building. The ambience
is quite breathtaking. The decorations are very
luxurious with colonial themed building.
A white painted hotel with a garden landscape
will absolutely catch everyone’s eyes. It’s an
honor to be a part of the team of The Danna
to serve the best for the guests. Later, we
headed to the kitchen, which located near
to the security department. I met with Chef
Shafiq with the Pastry Team at The Danna, Langkawi (On the left hand side)
Zainal, Executive Chef and Chef Sapizal, Pastry Chef of The Danna. A brief
explanation was given by Chef Sapizal and I was placed under his supervision
throughout my internship here at The Danna.
Birthday Cake for General Manager (Blueberry Cheese
Cake)
I am thrilled to meet lots of new people daily, including my pastry team; Chef
Saufi, Chef De Partie, Abang Wan, Demi Chef, Kak Ju, Commis 1 and also Din,
Commis 3. I had personally requested and insisted to be stationed in only Pastry
Department during my entire internship. We worked together in a team to face
lots of challenges that arise every day. I will receive daily new recipe to write
and follow. I gained lots of new experiences that I had never dreamt of before
joining The Danna. The Pastry Chef also is a friendly and approachable guy. He
is generously willing to share his knowledge and skills for trainees and other
staffs to learn. Sometimes, I volunteered to do overtime to learn more from
the Pastry Chef himself on pastry skills and techniques at a more leisurely time.

ala carte and buffet menu.
The most unforgettable moment is when I was being assigned to
decorate a birthday cake of our General Manager. It was an honor
for me as the Pastry Chef has faith in me. I was very happy and felt so
fortunate to be part of team. Surely, The Danna is the best place to
undergo the internship and also a wonderful place to work in. All the
wonderful memories that I went through will be remembered deeply
in my heart forever.

TRIP TO
By: Miraidayu Mohd Mokhtar & Wan Nazriah Wan Nawawi
o
n Tuesday, 26th February 2016 students from HM110 UITM Dungun went
on a trip to Prinzpark Resort Terengganu for the yearly assessment. It is located
in Kuala Terengganu. We went there by 42-seater bus with 38 students and our
hospitality lecturer who organize this project, Madam Wan Nazriah. The head
project is our very own student, Shahril Bin Mohd Zabri.
At 12:30p.m., all HM110 students assembled at post A for a short briefing. During
the journey we saw quite few numbers of breathtaking scenery and outstanding
resort and hotel. After an hour, we arrived at Pantai Batu Burok where we had our
lunch and perform our prayers at Masjid Terapung Kuala Ibai. We continue our
journey to Prinzpark Resort at 2:15 and the journey is just a stone’s thrown away.
As we arrived at the hotel, we received a warm welcome from the front office
manager and he led us to seminar room. We were lucky because the general
manager of the Prinzpark Resort joined and gave some inspirational thought
about the hotel industry. He shared the history of the Prinzpark Resort, which
officially opens on 1st December 2012. The specialty about this hotel is located
right next to a Polo club and near to a jaw-dropping clean lake. It is very strategic
because the beach is just a walking distance away.
After the seminar, we got the chances for a tour of rooms that are provided. We
even got the chances to see the other seminar room in the hotel. Prinzpark Resort
has 207 rooms and each floor has 41 rooms. The things that Prinzpark Resort
provided for the guest is quite exclusive because they are using high international
quality mattresses, quality linens, duck feather pillows and duvets. Prinzpark also
provide a hall for their guests. There are 7 halls that have been provided by the
Prinzpark Hotel for their guests for
the event. They also bring us to their
best part of the hotel which is the
D’Lagoon floating restaurant. What
makes it interesting is the guest can
have a direct view of the lake.
We depart from the hotel at 6:30
pm. We stopped at Masjid Terapung
Kuala Ibai to perform our Asar
prayers. We continued our journey
and stopped at Kelulut to buy food.
We reached UiTM around 7:20 pm.
As the conclusion of this site visit, it
gave exposure to HM110 about the
reality of the hospitality industry.
Everything that we learn in a
hospitality management subject is
implied in this site visit.

Know Your Daily Calories
Intake
By: Siti Rapidah Omar Ali
T
he key success to lose weight is closely aware how many calories you should consume each day and how many should you have at each
meal. Choosing healthy food is a key success in realizing your goals and leaving you feeling energised and satisfied.
What are calories?
Calories are a measure of energy in food. Calories needed by the body to generate energy, but if it taken excessively it will turn into
fat. If the calories are not burned, weight gain will take place and eventually will cause health problems. A man needs around 2000-2500Kcal
while for woman 1600-2000Kcal a day to maintain weight. Remember that women have different calorie requirements to men. Men tend to
have more muscle and less fat on their bodies so they burn more calories throughout the day and so can eat more. Every 8000 unburned
calories or collected will raise 1 kg weight. We need to balance the amount of calories consumed through food and drinks with the amount
of calories burned through physical activities in order to maintain a healthy weight. If you are gaining weight, it usually means you have been
regularly eating and drinking more calories than you have been using through normal bodily functions and physical activity. Each of us can
use the calorie information to assess how a particular food fits into our daily calorie intake.

A Pleasure Excursion to
By: Nada Nadhirah Abd Rahman, Amanina Mat Ghani,
Norashikin Mohd Mokhtar & Siti Aisah Abas
I
t was a blithesome Friday morning on 23rd October 2015 and the
students were so excited for their trip to the Bukit Gambang Resort
City. Around 8.00a.m on that day, the bus and car came to fetch us after
everything was settled. We arrived there at 10.30a.m and the first place
that we go is Water Park. After a short queue and countless selfies, we
entered the pleasure ground. Inside the water park, we discovered
the activities that can be done in small groups. The weather was quite
disturbing due to slight rain, but we still enjoyed our time there. The
guys with their stunts and skills while the girls with the slides and tubes
were enjoying the moments. At 1.00p.m the Muslim guys, went to the
nearby mosque to perform Friday prayer. As for the girls, they changed
into dry outfits and went for lunch.
A
fter the boys were back from prayer and had taken their meal, we
decided to visit the beasties in the Safari Park. Some of us decided
to take the trams and the rest tramped. At the Safari Park, we discovered
different kinds of animals; the wilds, the reptiles, the mammals, the
underwater creatures, and the best of all, is the white lions. Some of
us were lucky to have the opportunity to pat and feed certain animals.
Between the ramble, we were entertained by a few animal shows.
After the last show by ‘The Tarzan Adventure’, curtain was closed. We
understood that it was time to go home. Talks and chats filled up the
bus before the tires roll. But as usual, on the road only the sound of
snores heard shows that everyone was so tired. We stopped for dinner
at Cherating and continue the journey.
R
eaching UiTM Dungun at 12.30a.m, we feel tired and worn out but
somehow the excitement still lingered. Although it was only a oneday trip, we had fun and learned lots of new things such as how to run a
resort and how to handle guests’ problems. Lastly, special thanks to our
advisor, Madam Amanina and Miss Aisah for the guidance and make us
able to experience this enjoyable trip.

POTENTIAL CARCINOGENIC
FOODS: CANCER CAUSING
CHEMICALS
By: Mohd Firdaus Mohd Zainudin, Muhamad Khairi Abd Haddi & Noorazlin Ramli
B
asically carcinogenic or carcinogen is a substance or
radiation that can cause cancer. This may be due to
the ability to damage the genome or to the disruption
of cellular metabolic processes. Several radioactive
substances are considered carcinogens, but their
carcinogenic activity is attributed to the radiation, for
example, gamma rays and alpha particles, which they
emit. Common examples of non-radioactive carcinogens
are inhaled asbestos, certain dioxins, and tobacco smoke.
Carcinogenic foods are a food that contains certain
chemicals that might contribute to the cancer during
consumption. The foods become harmful when it is going
to the cooking process such as prepare foods by using the
microwave. The microwave basically produces heat touch
to the foods and the heat is basic sources of radiation
in which the extensive use of microwave and over
consumption food that using microwave can cause cancer.
them, look appealing and fresh but are well known carcinogens. Smoking meats
seem to be particularly bad as the meat picks up tar from the smoking process.

urthermore, potential carcinogenic foods also can
be produce when the food being expose to the high
temperatures during cooking process such as grilling
methods or barbeque methods. This both method are
not using oil or other substance to make the food items
cooked but depends to the heat by using charcoal.
Therefore the method can lead to the process of charring
in which chemical process of incomplete combustion of
certain solids when subjected to high heat. The resulting
residue matter is called char. By the action of heat,
charring removes hydrogen and oxygen from the solid, so
that the remaining char is composed primarily of carbon.
The carbon when consume can effect human’s health.
T
hus, diet is thought to be a contributing factor in especially stomach and
colon cancer. The consumption of very salty pickled foods may lead to
the stomach cancer. Preserved meat such as bacon, sausages and ham also
will increase the risk. However, the diet high in fresh fruit and vegetables may
reduce the risk of cancer. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables have been linked
to a lower risk of cancer of the mouth, esophagus (food pipe), lung, larynx (voice
box) and some types of stomach cancer (Cancer Research UK, 2015). Fruit and
vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet and are an excellent source
of many vitamins and minerals, as well as fiber. Fruits and vegetables contain
a wide variety of nutrients that have many different effects on the body.
These nutrients include carotenoids, folate, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium,
flavonoids and various other phytochemicals (chemicals found in plants.)

ne of the most popular food item that is related
and have a close relationship with carcinogen is
processed meats. Processed meat is a large group of
food items including bacon, sausage, and hot dogs.
The excessive salts and chemicals that are used when
making processed meats are damaging to human’s
health. The study showed that 1 in every 17 people who
were involved in the study died and those who ate 160
grams or more of processed meats increased their risk
of early death as much as 44 percent within 12 years as
opposed to those who ate 20 grams or less. This study
involved people from 10 European countries and went
on for almost 13 years (Health Science Journal, 2015).
All these processed meats contain numerous chemicals
and preservatives, including sodium nitrates, which make

Halal Food
Adulteration
By: Mohd Aliff Abdul Majid
E
veryday we consume food, sometimes almost every hour. Food and its nutritional contents are among the topics that have been discussed
by many scholars. Fresh produce, processed foods, high in sodium, low fat, less trans fat, high in fiber, no cholesterol, you name it. We had
it all, and sometimes we did not even know what’s inside. But what’s important to us especially Muslim, we eat halal food. How to find it? It is
as easy as ABC. We rely on halal logo. You know what it is. Everyone does.
A
s more food products are available in the market and the increment of food supply by food manufacturers, Muslim consumers had raised
concern on its halalness. Recently, Malaysian was shocked by the news of food known to be halal, but unfortunately it was contrary. Issues
on halal food adulteration are serious matters in Islam and the term ‘halal’ is necessary to protect Muslim food consumptions. Adulteration
refers to food product that fails to meet certain standards. One of the examples is inappropriate labeling of ingredients. Ideally, adulterants
might be added into food products to enhance food characteristics or other deceptive purpose. Obviously, halal food manufacturers that
failed to meet the standards had violated the halal assurance system. Halal assurance system is established based on three zero concepts,
which are zero limit (no haram material used in the production), zero defect (no haram product is produced) and zero risk (no disadvantages
risk should be taken by the producer).
G
enerally, the definition of haram and prohibitions of pigs can be found in Quran, in surah Al-Baqarah verse 173. In the verse, the word
‘flesh of swine’ refers to pork and lard. Indeed, its derivatives should also be included. The derivatives of this animal can be derived in many
forms, especially modified foods that contain E-codes. Some E-codes are doubtful such as E422 (glycerine/ glycerol), E470 or E483 (emulsifiers)
and E542 (edible bone phosphate). Doubtful things are questionable in Islamic law and it is stated in the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad
(s.a.w):
“
Both doubtful things are evident but in between there are doubtful (mashbooh) things and most of the people having no knowledge about
them. So whoever saves himself from these doubtful things, he saves his religion and his honor, but who falls into doubtful matters fall into
that which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly every kind has a sanctuary, and truly
Allah (s.w.t.) sanctuary is His prohibitions.”
I
n point of fact, food should not contain pig and its
derivatives to comply with shariah law. Therefore, halal
food issues should not be taken lightly, regardless sides.
With manufacturers defy law to increase the product supply
and lack of enforcement by authorized organization, issue
of halal food will never find its way out. From consumer’s
point of view, look closely and choose wisely.
