A group of 35 selected culinary students from SHATEC had the unique opportunity to attend Master Classes conducted by well-known celebrity chefs Elvin Chew and Eric Low. These classes were conducted on June 6, 2018 at SHATEC’s Discovery 8 Hall.
The students have recently completed their first semester, covering the poultry curriculum classes. The Master Classes, coincided with the completion and highlight of the poultry course, provided some thought-provoking ideas for students to experiment with various ingredients, which are locally available. Students were taught step-by-step procedures in the preparation of specialty dishes like chicken roulade, turkey confit with kiam chai ingredients (salted vegetables), and Asian ravioli.
The poultry course covered the fundamentals and principles of Western and Asian cooking, as well as essentials in food knowledge in poultry and eggs. The theory and practical classes in the poultry curriculum course and Master Classes will provide the culinary students the appropriate skills and knowledge in handling and preparing poultry in their post-graduation careers.
