This year’s contest brought together 25 teams, each consisting of two members, who are students majoring in culinary arts at the college and intermediate levels from Hue Tourism College.
Within 60 minutes, each team prepared one Hue dish to serve four guests, meeting criteria on quality, presentation, food safety, and environmental friendliness. Dishes could be presented in either traditional or contemporary styles, combined with presentations and storytelling to highlight the cultural and heritage values of Hue cuisine.
The organizing committee encouraged contestants to use local ingredients and explore traditional dishes and regional specialties, especially those at risk of being forgotten, while also promoting creativity in culinary storytelling linked to tourism development. In addition to one First Prize, the organizers awarded two Second Prizes, three Third Prizes, one Potential Prize, and five Consolation Prizes.
This year’s contest also featured the participation of culinary artisans and professional chefs from Hue, Da Nang, and Quang Tri. The judging panel consisted of reputable culinary experts with extensive experience in training and professional development, ensuring fairness, expertise, and quality in the competition.
The contest serves not only as a professional platform but also as a bridge connecting the school, businesses, artisans, and the community. It offers students an opportunity to hone their skills, express their passion, and contribute to promoting Hue cuisine - an enduring cultural heritage of the Ancient Capital.
