The Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) celebrates the successful conclusion of its Youth Outreach Program, hosted at the esteemed Guru Nanak Institute of Hotel Management. This event illuminated the exceptional versatility and health benefits of palm oil as a star ingredient in culinary creations. By uniting budding culinary talents with seasoned experts, the event garnered widespread acclaim.
The competition, divided into “Amateur” and “Expert” categories, attracted up to 40 students. The “Amateur” category allowed participants to showcase their culinary skills for 1 hour and 30 minutes, while the “Expert” category was designed for 3rd and 4th-year students, requiring them to create a vegetarian starter, non-vegetarian main dish, and accompaniment.
The challenge emphasized the students’ ability to create a harmonious, well-balanced meal, with palm oil being a key ingredient. The Guru Nanak Institute of Hotel Management expressed their enthusiasm for their involvement in this event, stating, “The Master Chef competition showcased the knowledge and skills of the students who were using palm oil for the first time. It was a great learning experience for our students. Thank you once again Bhavnaji and Malaysian Palm Oil Council.”
