The 13th Penang International Salon Gastronomique

With over 800 participants competing in 44 classes of events and more than 1000 entries, this had to be the biggest turn out of the series for Penang International Salon Gastronomique - Battle of the Chefs! In fact this was an increase of 37.5% over the last battle. We received entries from Russian, USA, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, Philippine, Singapore, China and many states of Malaysia. 

This year Battle of the Chefs was endorsed by World Association of Chefs Societies as the “Regional Culinary Competition” and our Penang State Government approved “Penang Signature Event”. Thanks to YB Danny Law, Penang State Executive for Tourism Development for the encouragement and support. 

After 3 days of Battle, 24 gold, 112 silvers, 238 bronze and 269 diplomas were given out by the Panel of 38 International Judges coming from USA, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia. 

In addition we have 35 exhibition booths promoting food ingredients and services with more than 6000 industry players and visitors throng the newly laid ground. Awesome was the word often heard thru out the 3 days.
