- The winner will receive a 9-day educational trip to Hotel Okura Amsterdam
Back by popular demand, The Okura Prestige Bangkok is pleased to announce its 2nd cooking competition with an educational trip to Hotel Okura Amsterdam up for grabs. The first cooking competition was organized last year in the celebration of hotel’s 5th Anniversary and proved to be a huge success.
Once again, this year The Okura Prestige Bangkok invites students studying in the hospitality, kitchen and tourism industries to take part in the 2nd cooking competition by sending in their application, accompanied by a short cooking video, to the organizing committee. Applicants must be Thai nationals aged 18 - 25 years old. Only 5 qualified applicants will be selected for training with Master Chef Shigeru Hagiwara at Yamazato restaurant. At the end of the training course, applicants will prepare signature dishes for an invited committee and distinguished guests at the Judges’ Panel Night, following which the chosen winner will receive a 9-day educational trip to Hotel Okura Amsterdam. The prize includes round trip air tickets to Amsterdam, 8 nights’ accommodation at Hotel Okura Amsterdam, a luncheon and dinner at Michelin Starred restaurants Yamazato and Ciel Bleu, a day trip in Amsterdam, plus visa arrangements, travel insurance, pocket money and a training course with two-star Michelin Chef Onno Kokmeijer. Chef Onno has been awarded the title SVH Meesterchef (master chef) by the Dutch hospitality organisation Stichting Vakbekwaamheid Horeca. SVH strives to retain and expand professional knowledge in the hospitality industry and awards ‘master’ titles in five categories including chef, host and sommelier. The SVH ‘master’ title is the highest honour awarded by the Dutch hospitality industry. The educational trip is valued at more than Baht 100,000.
“Our first cooking completion went very well and it offered a great opportunity for students studying in the hospitality, kitchen and tourism industries. We actually found many talented applicants and I was very impressed with their passion for the culinary arts. This initiative is not just a competition to win an oversea educational trip, it is also an opportunity for The Okura Prestige Bangkok to share our knowledge with students who want to become part of the hotel and food and beverage industry. I can’t wait to welcome applicants to The Okura Prestige’s cooking competition this year,” said Mr. Edward E Snoeks, General Manager of The Okura Prestige Bangkok.
Interested applicants should submit their application with relevant documents to the Human Resources Department at The Okura Prestige Bangkok before 30 March 2018 and post their cooking video by 6 April 2018.
