A benefit for us in tourism as well as in the establishment of new joint ventures that will bring in a lot of business especially here in Yangon. Another good piece of news for all chefs in Myanmar is that Renato Buhlmann is back, not as a chef, as he was in The Strand or as the co-founder and first president of the Myanmar Chefs Association. He has come back to work with Quarto Food Products, which I rate personally as a top choice for all chefs. The All Kind Food Competition will be the second one this year, the first was held in February at the International Business Centre in Yangon. We plan to ask all our Thai Chefs, such as Chef Packdee from Equatorial Hotel to have a Thai Food Show, maybe with live carving competition.
Preparations are underway.
We warmly welcome suggestions or sponsorship from around Asia. Our good friend, Pastry Chef Jean L Hess is finally in Japan at a small resort after he left Sri Lanka. We now have the chance to do cooking shows for Myanmar's new TV Channel 3, which broadcasts only in English. These are our plans during the rainy season. Finally after five years the Myanmar Chefs' Association has its own fax in Yangon.
