The first stage of Professional Skills Challenge among chefs and cooks of 47 hotels (and their restaurants) to accommodate the ASEM delegates was held on April 8 in “Ikh Tenger” Complex. 40 participants from 12 hotels competed with breakfast set preparation in this initiative of ASEM’s Catering, Entertainment and Safety Working Group.
“We asked the chefs to use materials common in Mongolia, and make an innovative dish that represents modern Mongolian breakfast,” reported D. Buyandelger, President of Mongolian Master Chefs’ Association (MMCA). He said, “Chefs can contribute immensely in impressing the delegates and promoting Mongolia.”
This skills competition followed a 5-day intensive training on multicultural cuisine dishes, and is part of an effort to condition the cuisine skills in high quality. The training was co-organized by MMCA, Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA), and Center for Food Production and Service Development (CFPSD).
“The previous training comprised of modules on breakfast, Asian-European cuisine, Mongolian cuisine and Seafood cuisine. The next three stages will be on Mongolian cuisine, International cuisine, and Seafood cuisine, respectively,” said Sh. Erdenekhuu, President of CFPSD. He also reported the hotels have been covering the training and competition costs for their chefs.
The next stages of the competition are expected in May, June and July. The final winner of the competition will win a prize of 10 million MNT ($5,000).
