Culinaire Malaysia FHM 2009 will be on 11-14 August 2009 Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, and taking back for me the first time or may be last time since its debut in 2005. Because from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Lumpur is even costlier. The cost escalates in competitions with airfares and accommodation as well. Use own money to compete.
Preparing for competition is very arduous. Many hours are spent in training. Dedication to their craft is what will make an extraordinary competitor stand out from the average one. To be fair to the employer, me cannot practise during working hours. It is equally important for the chef's employer to supportive, as practice for the competitions is usually done at the place of employment and time off will be needed to compete. It is quite normal for me to sleep at work in order to have more time practise.
Why are competitions important? Competitions keep chefs learning, by picking up new ideas from each other. Competitions are windows for the public look through to the other side of the chef's world and what it is all about. It also for me is a personal exam, I participant competing in 3 categories,- Dessert, Showpiece and Petit Fours or Pralines see what i learning before this. Personal creativity and flair also helps, plus little bit luck too.
