Kitchen Duel at the Kandawgyi Palace Hotel
You thought the job of a hotel Chef in a posh hotel may become a boring routine, preparing the same dishes over and over? Not quite, if the employer is innovative and comes up with ideas, born on extensive travels through all continents, to challenge the skills and creativity of his Chefs to make cooking an art form. That is what, U Tayza, Chairman of Htoo Group of Companies, had in mind when he came up with the idea for this very special event.
The musketeers of high class cuisine in the hotel kitchens of the Hotel Business Unit of Htoo Group of Companies are crossing their cooking ladels in an exceptional affair of honor. The two-day competition will take place at the Kandawgyi Palace Hotel on the 31 Mar from noon to 5.30pm and on 01 Apr from 9.30am to 4pm.
11 Teams consisting of 03 Chefs each will participate to win the top 3 prizes. The task on day one is to prepare a menu of 1 appetizer and 1 soup in 4 equal portions for each creation. Well, we all know many moms are facing the same challenge every day. But can she do the job if she was given only 2 minutes to find the right ingredients and bring a mouth watering dish to the table in just a wink of an eye later? The cooking facilities will only be in full gear for 2 hours. However, while most of us are just capable of preparing scrambled eggs in this short period of time, judges will see swirling knives like drum sticks at a rock festival, fiery woks and steaming pots at this event.
Experts consider the second day of the completion is not a walk in the park either. The professionals will have to prepare 2 main courses, 1 vegetable dish and 1 dessert in 4 equal portions for each creation. This time the teams will have 5 minutes to gather their ingredients and are given 10 minutes to prepare their menu.
Judges specially handpicked, will give their notes after the Chefs have explained their creations and tasting of the dishes. They may even discover some of the Chef's secret ingredients and tricks normally hidden behind closed kitchen doors.
At the end of day two, we will see the beaming smiles on the faces of the winning teams and probably some future rising stars of haute cuisine in Myanmar. However, the idea of U Tayza does not stop here. Plans are to have another cooking duel in September, stay tuned to find out what's brewing………
