WACS Global Chef Asia & HOFEX 2013

Every two years, chefs from around the world gather in Hong Kong during HOFEX, the largest food and hospitality tradeshow in the Asia-Pacific region.  This year’s HOFEX 2013 was held from 7 – 10 May. Hong Kong International Culinary Classic (HKICC) and WACS Global Chef Asia Competition were being held.

 

 

And every time, the HKCA and the Hong Kong Young Chefs Club (HKYCC) organize a Chefs Corner to welcome local and international judges, local professionals and competitors and serve great food and drinks with the support of generous sponsors.

 

 

At this year’s HOFEX, more than 80 students and members assisted to sponsors to prepare food at the Chefs Corner.

 

On behalf of the HKYCC, we’d like to extend our sincere gratitude to the different institutions that loaned us their students to run the Chefs Corner, namely Institute of Vocational Education (IVE ) Chai Wan and Haking Wong, Hospitality Industry Training and Development Centre (HITDC), the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

As well, I’d like to thank the many sponsors that provided food, support and logistics to make this a welcome corner for all chefs.
