PENANG FOOD FEST

One of the problems I’ve had is time but then hasn’t everyone. However the other is more genuine – I’m not very good at this technical stuff, and as my sons are away they haven’t been able to offer much guidance. The last few I’ve tried to post have all disappeared and I cannot get them back!

Anyway I’m definitely going to try to be more vigilant now, and promise sincerely to write more often.

Last year I was honoured to be a judge at the Penang “Chefs’ Challenge”, and this year they have asked me once more, but this time in the 12th “Battle of the Chefs”.

It promises to be exciting, especially as we have (to date) over 400 registered participants - students, cook, chefs and F & B service staff from 97 organisations (restaurants, hotels, colleges, associations, individuals) from Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, and first time entries from Taiwan and South Korea.

There will be more than 30 international Judges coming from various countries: Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea, Myanmar and even the US.

There are many classes of competition, from fruit and vegetable carving to live cooking, a total of 639 entries have been registered so far.

It should prove to be exciting and entertaining.

There will also be an i-Foodex exhibition, with over 144 stalls demonstrating the latest in cookware, and in the evening, over 100 stalls cooking up a storm – all the favourite foods from around Malaysia.

The event will take place in PISA from 13-15 March.

Look forward to seeing you all there!
