One of the very first attendance of the new Yangon State Prime Minister, U Pyo Min Thein, handed over the first certificates of CVT graduates. At the historical Strand Hotel over 500 people in attendance from Industries, students, lectures and parents.

Today we saw Myanmar young chefs graduate from CVT, Center for Vocational Training in Myanmar as MCA members after a three years next to their job weekly vocational school practical ( by lecturer Daw Ni Ni Aye Nyo ) and theory. Specially the second part the theory comes mostly to short at vocational training in Myanmar with just having a year plus the first and still very view 1 to 3 vocational training standards and schools for the hospitality industry and young Myanmar. So the future and professionalism in job education looks still grim in Myanmar.

 

MCA Chefs graduate at CVT

Vice President Mr Stefan held the opening speech,—not without a good highlight to the founder the late Max Owey …..

MCA Chefs – members went through all the past three years weekly training and school next to the daily job at Hotels & Restaurants

– Naing Tun Aung

– Hein Nay Kyaw

– Mg Zarni Way

– Phyu Aung Zaw Htun

CVT trains for Commercial Assistant, Cabinet Maker, Electrician, Hotel & Gastronomy Assistant, Metal Worker and education for the youth.

In remembrance to Mr Max Owey the founder of CVT over 15 years ago, set that long time ago already an international standard, – where others just now come in as they believe young Myanmar during the past 20 years were not able to be trained – the EU even thought in the old days that the best was that education and vocational training should be sanctioned and boycotted ..

We welcomed the former CVT President Mr Kari,- at present working on a self financing live Hotel & Restaurant school in Hpa An, south Myanmar to establish a vocational training center there for the young people of a most remote and rural area. The concept is done and soon the building starts.

A system which is in Asia known from SHATEC Singapore, live Hotel and live restaurant and Kitchen ….. a system well to transfer to several rural area running and potential Tourism Destinations … MCA and we support Mr Kari and will be of help once the school starts.  

Good these days are over and more and more institutes come up , CVT soon will enter into a new own building with sure more and higher quality trainings in dual system to the existing Jobs a  win win for the young people here which can not afford a three years education without pay or even cost.

To the above MCA chefs members all the best we are proud as chefs that you choose a smart way to upgrade your knowledge and follow an international best standard,—sure your future is bright and positive regardless of a countries situation or place you are, it is what you learnt and carry for live which makes you the best among many competitors , all the best until soon .

Park Estate Seasonal Emerald Green – a Seasonal Flush story

The result of a fleeting climatic phenomenon where wind, sunshine and the terroir of the land join hands to produce conditions that are conducive for this creation process, Seasonal Flush teas are extremely rare and unique. Dry winds that fan the valleys and slopes, supported by chilly nights and bright, dry days with infrequent light afternoon showers, cause flavour in the leaves to become concentrated as the tea plant undergoes stress and prepares for drought. The ten days preceding the January Seasonal Flush showed a constant difference between the temperature during the day and night; between 24° – 8 °. That combination offers the perfect conditioning for tea leaves to produce ‘seasonal character’.

On the 25th of January at precisely 08 am the leaves of the Limited Edition Seasonal Flush were plucked and processed at our very own Park Factory Estate, at an elevation of 6,500 ft. above sea level the highest factory in the island manufacturing Green Tea. To drink a cup of the Park Estate Seasonal Emerald Green OP1 is to experience the peak of natural harmony between the weather and terroir. Park Estate Kandapola, is located 12 km from Nuwara Eliya town, on a tea covered plateau on the eastern slopes of the Pidurutalagala massif. It was selected for the project on account of the availability of green leaf from the highest elevations in the country.

This limited edition tea is reminiscent of springtime by the sea with hints of seaweed, herbs and grass. The perfect January weather produces a tea that is soft on the palate and yet marked by fine astringency that sparkles in the finish, accompanying the spring vegetal notes. The Park Estate Seasonal Emerald Green OP1 is an elegant wiry green leaf which yields a bright infusion, while being soft and lightly astringent on the palate and is a true tea connoisseur’s dream.

The kouign-amann, the breton it pastry

Who would have thought that this Armorican specialty (Britanny, France), which literally means Butter Cake, would inspire the greatest pastry Chefs in the world? Who could have imagined that this caramelized galette would one day arouse enthusiasm in Japan and across the Atlantic where June 20, 2015 marked the celebration of National Kouign-amann Day? Surely not its creator Yves René Scordia, a baker from Douarnenez who imagined this very rich galette in 1865 by mixing 400 grams of flour, 300 grams of butter and 300 grams of sugar. Such proportions could be explained by a flour shortage that the baker tried to compensate with… butter – which he had plenty of! Other sources talk about ruined bread dough.

This deliciousness and sweetness concentrate leaves room for many different interpretations. Philippe Conticini makes it in the form of a baguette and even Pierre Herme has his own take both revisiting the Kouign-amann in a lighter and crispier version of itself. US 2012 best pastry Chef Neil Robertson developed it in another version by filling it with a delightful chocolate ganache in his Seattle pastry shop Crumble and Flake. There is a Kouign-amann for each taste: apple, salted butter caramel, pistachio, coffee, vanilla, peanut butter… There even are savory options! Famous for his cronut, Chef Dominique Ansel of the Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York imagined an exuberant burger kouign-amann during the 2014 South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin. At the CiÇou Brasserie, Cyrille Soenen features on his menu the “KA by CiÇou” with bacon and cheese, chorizo, sundried tomato and basil…

But what do the Bretons think of all this? In Douarnenez, an organization was created to protect the “real kouign-amann”. The French do not mess around with tradition!

20th World Gourmet Summit plays host to the best of Scotland

It’s a little known fact that once a year, for four weeks in Spring, there is one place where the world’s top gourmands gather. And this year, at the 20th World Gourmet Summit in Singapore, the best palates on the planet will be celebrating Scottish seafood, the official seafood provider to the festival, which runs from Monday 28 March to Sunday 24 April.

World-class and Michelin-starred chefs from top restaurants will fly to Singapore to show off their skills, and experiment with cutting edge culinary ideas. Dedicated foodies will take the opportunity to sample the best cooking in the world; and influential buyers from the Asian market will gather to judge produce from all over the world – making decisions on what will appear on diner’s’ plates according to what they taste during their visit.

The Scottish contingent is set to impress the Asian market with the best fresh seafood handpicked to excite the discerning audience, dominated by Michelin-starred chefs (see notes). Scottish cod, salmon, scallops and langoustines are taking centre stage in a bid to encourage these influential chefs to get behind Scottish seafood – which serves as a massive boost for the industry.

Natalie Bell, Trade Marketing Manager for EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Asia) at Seafood Scotland, said “Where the top chefs go, other restaurants, and eventually consumers, follow. Scotland has some of the best seafood in the world, due to our clean air and crystal clear waters, and the World Gourmet Summit is about getting it in front of, and in the mouths of, some of the most influential chefs and buyers in Asia. These four weeks in Singapore can dictate the future of a product in the market, and our presence there is key to the Scottish industry’s growth.”

As well as supplying a number of individual chefs, Scottish Seafood will take pride of place at the WGS Opening Ceremony and Awards, which, to mark its 20th year, will be the biggest and most extravagant yet. Then, in mid-April, Scotland takes centre stage with a Highland Park Whisky and Seafood Dinner, at which celebrated chef Glenn Bowman will prepare the Scottish seafood for an audience of 100 influential guests. The Scottish catch has a final outing at the WGS ‘Sunset Celebration’ a cocktail event that brings together all the WGS key partners.

Peter Knipp of A La Carte Productions, creator of the World Gourmet Summit, said: “The World Gourmet Summit would just simply not be the same without Scottish seafood being included in our events. Over the past couple of years, the chefs we work with have consistently told us it's some of the best seafood they have ever worked with and as a result, we're seeing more Scottish salmon, cod, scallops and langoustines on some of Asia's finest menus.

“I'm confident that this year's event will continue to raise the profile of Scotland and the quality of its produce amongst what are some of the most influential people across Asia's thriving food and drink sector.”

Gulf Gourmet Scholarship: Empowering the future of our industry

CCA Dubai Culinary Scholarship, the One Million Dirham continuing education award for UAE young industry chefs, a first-of-its-kind industry scholarship programme has now progressed through 70 per cent of its journey of knowledge, empowering its first batch of 25 deserving upcoming culinary talent.

The scholarship is being executed in strategic partnership with the Emirates Culinary Guild, World Association of Chefs Societies (WorldChefs ) – Young Chefs, and City & Guilds, London.

The 52 week ‘Day Release Programme’, which is ICCA Dubai’s International Chef Training Program (ICTP) with City & Guilds, International Vocational Qualification (IVQ) Level 2 Diploma in Food Preparation & Culinary Arts (8065- 02), is progressing well and empowering candidates to move to the next level in the world of culinary, by providing a unique learning experience through hands-on training delivered by the most experienced Chefs in the industry.

This comprehensive and intensive training program focuses on training and equipping the scholarship student Chefs with the knowledge, skills and best practices aligned to industry needs for quality delivery.

Chef Andy Cuthbert, Chairman ECG & Young Chefs Development Team for WorldChefs and Chef Uwe Micheel, President of ECG are delighted with the impact that the programme is having on the candidates. The evidence is clear from the passion and commitment that the candidates are showing towards the programme and from the increased levels of confidence that has changed their outlook towards their profession and themselves.

This hands-on and dedicated scholarship programme has not only broadened their opportunities, but has also uplifted the quality of output at the work environment. “When I started my scholarship programme, I thought I knew it all, as I had worked with so many hotels before and was now getting to learn the very basics of culinary at the school. It has been very beneficial for me to have a walkthrough the basics, it makes me feel more confident to put things to work in the kitchen now,” says Abdul Hamid Raddawi, Sous Chef, Marriott Courtyard Hotel.

The programme started right from
the very basics, with most candidates expressing the immense benefits of learning the fundamentals of culinary.
It is helping them to deal with their current work, with a lot more application of knowledge and also giving a clear understanding of what is being done. “Learning while I am working is helping me a lot, especially when I am going through the basics again. This opportunity, is not only building up my confidence but I am also able to help my colleagues in the kitchen,” says Pradnya Nikam from Radisson Blu Hotel, Deira Creek.

The program has provided a tremendous source of knowledge support to the candidates, as most of them are not from a culinary school background and have learnt or are still learning on their jobs from senior chefs and colleagues.

Michelle Asiddao Gabay from Emirates Flight Catering says, “I have never been to a culinary school before and I started working in the kitchen by peeling potatoes and onions when I was doing the job of a waitress. As I never had a chance to get a qualification in culinary before, it is great to have this opportunity to earn my professional qualification now while I am working. I feel so blessed that I have been selected for this programme by the selection panel and thankful to my Executive Chef for nominating me for this scholarship programme.”

For some, the scholarship programme is a great way to earn a qualification while working, but for others it’s a lifetime dream come true. “The scholarship programme has changed many things in my professional life. I got promoted at work after joining the course, and the best part is the senior chefs have trust in my work and ask me to share my knowledge with my fellow kitchen mates. This is nothing less than a dream come true,” says Jennah Sanchez from Atlantis The Palm.

The training is application focused with emphasis on commercial cookery skills, product creativity, presentation, multitasking abilities, interpersonal skills, supervisory and leadership strength required for the industry.

“Every Tuesday when I come to ICCA Dubai for the scholarship programme classes, I get to know something new which I did not know before. I am more confident now when I am in the kitchen by gaining more knowledge in a systematic way,” says Chammika Perera, Radisson Blu Hotel, Deira Creek.

The candidates driven by passion for food and for the industry have been further strengthened by this programme. “My mom’s cooking skills inspired me to choose culinary as my career, and also I think ‘Chef’ is a very small word but at the same time it’s very powerful and I feel really proud when someone calls me ‘Chef’”, says Ajit Paste, Demi Chef De Parte, Media One Hotel.

If it is mom for Ajit, then it is Dad for Mithun Chamika, Demi Chef De Parte, Radisson Blu Hotel, Deira Creek. For Mithun, cooking came naturally. His father being the first chef in the family, he followed in his father’s footsteps.

Chef Mithun Chamika, ‘Best Chef of the Year’ at the La Cuisine Du SIAL Abu Dhabi 2015 sees this scholarship programme as the best opportunity he has got in his life, which he thinks will open many more doors for him around the world.

Top of the line guest lecturers and trainers from the industry who have taken classes for the candidates so far include; Christian Gradnitzer (Madinat Jumeirah), Sascha Triemer (Atlantis the Palm), Michael Kitts (Emirates Academy), Sebastian Nohse (JW Marriott Marquis), Osama El Sayed (Celebrity Chef), Harald Oberender (DWTC), Thomas Haller (Nestle Professional Middle East), Patrick Bischoff (Cleveland, Abu Dhabi), Marco Torasso (Grosvenor House), KAC Prasad (Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort), Nugraha Wardhana (Banyan Tree), Dirk Haltenhof (Madinat Jumeirah) and Suriya Abeysekara (Radisson Blu), along with ICCA’s Chef instructors
Daniel Hiltbrunner, Aziz Rajab, Vinod Radhakrishnan, Ashwini Kumar, Francois Giussani and Marco J Morana.

The programme is now gathering more momentum as the candidates are feeling more confident about the application of their knowledge and skills, and are dreaming big about their future as great industry chefs.
