Congratulations to the Winner of
the Disciples
Escoffier Young Talent Trophy 2013 Hong Kong Pre-Selection
Disciples Escoffier is an
association of top chefs dedicated to the transmission of knowledge within the
kitchen and to the evolution and understanding of gastronomy.
The Disciples Escoffier
Young Talent Trophy (DEYTT) has established itself
over the past six years as the leading culinary competition for young
Asian chefs. Former winners have become leading culinary celebrities in their
own right.
DEYTT is open to anyone under the age 25 (as of 30th September 2013) with a maximum
of five years’ experience in kitchens and registered in a
vocational education program. The candidate must be a permanent residence of
the country from which they have applied.
Together
with leading home appliance maker, Miele, who is a proud supporter of the event,
Disciples Escoffier launched the DEYTT Hong Kong Pre-Selection at The Miele
Private Lounge on 22nd July 2013.
Seven young and talented chefs
competed by
preparing a themed dish – Pan-fried Duck Breast with Bigarade Sauce.
Their
goal was to impress the four judges with
their own creative
elements and style. The judging scores were based not only on taste and presentation of
the dish, but also kitchen methods such
as cooking techniques, organization skills, product utilization,
professionalism, sanitation and timing.
After
the full-day competition and professional judging, we are excited to announce the winner of DEYTT 2013 Hong Kong Pre-Selection is Chris WONG from G7
Private Dining! As the official Hong Kong
representative, he will compete with seven other
contestants from Macau, Singapore, China, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and
the Philippines. Together they will appear in the Asian Final of DEYTT at “Restaurant & Bar
2013” on 3-5 September
2013.
