Team Maldives shows ‘Most Promising Talent’ at Asian Pastry Cup
The Asian Pastry Cup, the most important pastry competition in Asia, was held on the 24th and 25th of April at the Singapore Expo. Team Maldives, comprising of two Maldivian pastry chefs, Chef Aminath Hameed from Conrad Maldives Rangali and Chef Ibrahim Fareed from Soneva Fushi Resort along with Chef Indra Kumar Limbu (Team Coach) from Hulhule Island Hotel were amongst 12 countries competing.
Competitors had to prepare and present a chocolate showpiece, a sugar showpiece, 18 plated desserts and 2 chocolate pastries and the creations of Team Maldives impressed the highly acclaimed judges so much that the accolade of “Most Promising Talent” was bestowed upon them. Team sponsors, Bestbuy Maldives (BBM), and Maldives Exhibition & Conference Services (MECS) are very proud of the team and their achievements.
”Congratulations to our Chefs who recently participated in the Asian Pastry Cup 2018 and were named the Most Promising Talent after competing with over 12 countries. We are delighted regarding this achievement and will keep on supporting the promising Maldivian Culinary Industry” says Mohamed Mazloom, Director/CEO of BBM.
“We are extremely proud to be in Partnership with BBM to allow the talented chefs in the Maldives to participate in the Asian Pastry Cup 2018. It truly was a delight to witness our Chefs receive the “Most Promising Talent” at such a renowned competition” says Husnie Rauf, General Manager of MECS.
BBM & MECS takes a very keen interest in furthering the culinary skills of chefs in the Maldives and their regular events to impart knowledge, skills and latest techniques to Chefs in the island nation certainly seems to be paying off. A series of Masterclass Workshops by the topmost figures in the culinary world such as award-winning Michelin Star Chefs, Bocuse d’Or Winners, Culinary Olympic Champions and Professors in Gastronomy have been instrumental to the rising talent of the Maldives on the world culinary stage.
