Three talented chefs from Hong Kong and Macau have made it through to the North-East Asia regional final of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018 competition.
Making the cut are Eric Räty, chef de cuisine at Café Gray Deluxe at The Upper House; Noël Berard, chef de cuisine at The Ocean; and Zack Fong, commis at Sands Cotai Central.
The three semi-finalists are among 10 selected in North East Asia. They will present their signature dishes – their entries for the competition – at the North-East Asia regional final in Taiwan on November 6.
Räty will present “Glazed veal sweetbread, langoustine ‘XO’, crisped chicken skin and lemon thyme”. Berard’s dish is a “Hongkongese ‘Bouillabaisse’ with Tai O Seafood and XO Condiments”. Fong aims to impress with his “Ikan Bakar”.
Their dishes will be critiqued by a jury panel made up of top chefs in Asia: Andre Chiang, Gaggan Anand, Jason Tan, Ray Adriansyah and Margarita Forés.
The regional final will determine which contestants will advance to the grand finale, where 21 finalists from 21 regions will compete for the title of S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018. The grand finale takes place next year in June in Milan.
