4-6 June 2010
Penang International Sports Arena
Summary Report:
This year competition was endorsed by World Association of Chefs Societies as an WACS Approved Regional Culinary Competition with 47 teams (17 Professional & 30 Student) turn up for Battle! There were 3 oversea teams, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand. The rest was from north to south of Malaysia. I noticed that there was a trend of only ladies teams; at least there were 6 of them!
After 3 days of intense competitions, right from the early round to the knock out stage, all the competitors were tested with different proteins (meat, poultry, seafood & etc) and combination of secret ingredients (finger ginger root, ginseng, fresh nutmeg, fresh whole durian, dry mint, etc). The competition was so robust and very challenging. I even heard from the competitors that this must be the most challenging and tough fess competition in the world! I trust our Chief Judge, Chef Otto Weibel will vogue for it.
Our panel of judges comprised of qualified World Association of Chefs Societies approved judges and local celebrities which had amassed many winner medals amongst the lot.
Over the 3 days of competition cum iFoodex Food Exhibition, more than 60000 food enthusiast and chefs thronged the alleyway, concourse of PISA. Some have to squeeze the way thru especially when our PCC in full swing.
My sincere appreciations, “Thank you” to Internasionale for sponsoring the venue, Penang Global Tourism – Official Transport Provider, MAH Pg Chapter, MATTA Pg. Chapter and Penang State Tourism Exco for endorsing our event. Not forgetting our staunch partners, F & B Facilities – Official Kitchen Equipments, Quality Associates - Convertherm Combi-oven, Nestle Professional – Maggi & Nestle products, West Metric – Official KitchenAid, Petronas LPG gas, Hospitality Asia, Junichi – Official Tableware and many more product and service providers.
