MOST OUSTANDING CHEF & TOP MALDIVIAN CHEF
Shifana Saeed – Executive Sous Chef
Oishii – The House of Sushi
Partaking in the 15th Edition of Hotel AsiaExhibition & International CulinaryChallenge was a golden door of opportunityfor me. It was my first time grasping at suchan olive branch and it was a moment I’dcherish forever to walk away from thisexperience with as many accolades as I did.
As noteworthy as my time in thiscompetition was, I feel it could stand toimprove greatly if categories pertaining toyoung chefs were given more importance aswell as the rest too.
Furthermore, it would be more productive to have gifts being awarded that aremore of a culinary nature, for instance chef knives and the like, as the recipientsare all professional chefs who’d never turn down anything that adds to theirgrowing passion for cooking.
I also feel the winning chefs should have their way paved for competitions heldabroad with access to masterclasses in different destinations as this would be anopportunity to cultivate and hone the talent they’d displayed in the competition.
This challenge was the place to be for up and coming chefs like myself to show
