Gold for New Zealand Youth at International Culinary Classic

June 3, 2011

Gold for New Zealand Youth at International Culinary Classic


GOLDEN COOKS: Three New Zealand apprentice chefs proudly display their Gold Medals from the prestigious Hong Kong International Culinary Classic II in mid-May. The chefs, Nolan Murray, Allen Truong and Touvai Poloniati, all aged 20 years were part of The Dream Team Challenge between international teams comprising a chef, a waiter and a bartender. Together they present judges with a full food & beverage experience. The teams’ inspiration was to showcase New Zealand produce. They wowed the judges with an entrée of re-constructed Caesar Salad with Regal Salmon roe and smoked salmon slices, a main of Hangi lamb, and Flambé hei lala (Tongan Vanilla Flower) for dessert – topped off with a rousing haka for good measure.

From left to right: Judges Mr. Kong, Chef Philippe Derrien, Chef Jocken Kern, Chef Lee Loong Sheng and Mrs. Deborah Kong, with The Dream Team: Nolan Murray, Allen Truong and Touvai Poloniati.
