KUALA LUMPUR – The Saigon Professional Chefs’ Guild (SPC) that represented Việt Nam at the third Global Culinary Challenge Malaysia, has brought home the championship title and many other prizes.

The record haul of 13 golds, 27 silvers and 28 bronzes earned by the 40 Vietnamese chefs demonstrates their professionalism as well as international diners’ love of Vietnamese cuisine, said Lê Thị Kiều Oanh, a member of the delegation.

Oanh expressed her hope that Vietnamese chefs will have more opportunities to promote traditional foods to international friends in the time ahead.

This is the second contest the SPC has participated in Malaysia following the 2024 Penang Culinary Competition from June 27-29, where they also won a record number of prizes, including 18 golds, 26 silvers and 24 bronzes.

The Global Culinary Challenge Malaysia took place from June 25 to July 5 with the aim to promote Malaysian culinary skills and food culture and, at the same time, provide a platform for the participating chefs from all around the world to interact and share experiences. VNA/VNS
