I was invited to help judge the winners for this year’s King Chef Challenge!
This was held last week at the new Ayala Malls Manila Bay, beside Solaire. It is a gigantic mall! There’s a newly opened King Chef branch on the third floor. At the moment, PARKING IS FREE at Ayala Malls Manila Bay.
King Chef organizes this event to find the best dishes to include in their next menu updates. King Chef regularly updates their menu, and this is one of the ways they come up with new dishes 🙂
KING CHEF CHALLENGE 2019
There are 3 teams competing. Each team is composed of 2 King Chef chefs. Each team has prepared 2 dishes for everyone to try.
Guests were given sample portions of all six dishes:
All the invited guests were given a voting stub to drop into the ballot box of the dish we liked the best. One vote per guest. The dish with the most votes wins!
Entries:
Group 1
- Fisherman’s Prawn Ball
- Golden Tower with Plum Glazed Chicken
Group 2
- Cheesy Breaded Prawns
- Meatball Crepe in Milk Tea Sauce
Group 3
- Prawns Soya Cake with 4 Treasures Sauce
- Chinese Chicken Roulade with Three Kinds of Mushroom
And the winner is…
Golden Tower with Plum Glazed Chicken!
Woohoo! This was the dish I voted for, too. While all the dishes that the chefs prepared were unique as well as scrumptious, overall, this was the best one.
I really liked the idea of the Milk Tea sauce, though 🙂 If there was a category for thinking-out-of-the-box, this would be the one I would have voted for.
The contestants with King Chef owners Marites and Mike Ang:
While we enjoyed the food, we were also shown a video of Kwentong King Chef, where the people of King Chef narrated how their lives had changed for the better because of King Chef. They work with heart and are very happy with the trust they are given as they rise through the ranks with hard work and good work attitude. King Chef also sponsors bible studies for its staff.
I look forward to seeing these dishes on King Chef’s menu soon!
Congratulations to the winners and congratulations to King Chef for a successful King Chef Challenge 2019!
