Culinary Arts (SHTCA) as lecturers and students bagged 23 prizes at the recent Bali Salon Culinaire 2014 organised in conjunction with Food, Hotel and Tourism Bali 2014.
More significantly, the team’s triumph with 2 Gold Medals, 2 Silver Medals, 3 Bronze Medals and 16 Diplomas at this international challenge is once again a testament of SHTCA for producing students with outstanding culinary skills, creativity and presentation skills.
“This was the first international competition that so many of our final year students participated together. It was truly an amazing experience for them.” said Ms Cindy Loh, Academic Department Head of SHTCA at KDU College Penang.
“It is always good exposure for both lecturers and students to compete in an event with international standards and requirements. It proved to be an eye opener and gave our students the necessary experience to take part in more international events in the future.” Loh added.
Chef Muhamad Faizal, lecturer of SHTCA who is also the team leader of this competition said that the students’ successes have reflected KDU Penang’s commitment to provide quality education and a strong foundation in culinary arts.
“We competed with participants from Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam and Indonesia, and I was really amazed that our team actually came home with 23 prizes. It clearly shows that our students are well-prepared and are on par with the rest in the industry.” said Faizal.
One of the final year students of IMI Diploma in Professional Chef Training, Mr Waymann Cheong who won 1 Gold Medal and 2 Diplomas at the competition said that he began his preparation some 6 weeks before the competition.
“This was my first time participating in an international competition and it was a great experience for me to have faced unexpected challenges as the organiser changed some rules and regulations just 2 days before the competition. However, we managed it as we were trained
to be unruffled in all situations and to be flexible and creative!” Cheong expounded.

Excellent culinary facilities at KDU College Penang helped us to succeed

“I am also glad to have the opportunity to meet up with young chefs from different countries, to share ideas and information about the culinary industry in their home countries.” said Cheong who enjoys exploring traditional cooking of other countries.The
