This is another stage for culinary arts award seekers, namely the FHC China International Culinary Arts Competition, which has been held for 25 consecutive years. Run in the city of Shanghai in China this year, the event has the objectives to cultivate culinary skills in young chefs and reinforce the development of Western Chinese cuisine. It is one of the most challenging international cooking competitions in the world.
Of course, Dusit Thani College, a leading educational institution under Dusit International recognized for its prominent culinary arts education, sent a team of 4 chef students to participate in the competition, including Ms. Nithikarn Paothuey, Mr. Nakarin Jaroonpunvanich, Mr. Thanakon Chuangrattanawan, and Ms. Bunyarat Tanpeng. Trained by Chef Jatuporn Juengmeesuk, the student representatives had to compete in 8 programs, while their training assistant Mr. Apisit Jitprasong joined one of the challenges as well. The result showed that the competitors from Dusit Thani College won a wide range of awards as follows: 1 gold medal, 2 silver medals, 5 bronze medals, and 1 diploma.
Dusit Thani College aims to create and develop the next generation of chefs to enter the culinary and hospitality industry by developing intensive education that is constantly updated to be in line with global trends. Sending students to compete on various stages, both domestic and international, will provide opportunities for students to learn about new global trends and also help develop their skills to be on par with or exceed other countries.
