IPOH, July 29 — Some 270 of St John Ambulance of Malaysia (SJAM) Perak chapter members turned chefs for a day when they took part in a cooking competition.
The competition was held in conjunction with the non-governmental organisation's 40th Cooking and Flag Signalling Competition.
In a statement, SJAM Perak honorary secretary Chew Hoong Ling said the one-day event yesterday was held at SMK St Anthony in Teluk Intan that saw SMJK San Min winning most of the awards.
“It emerged as champion in two cooking categories and four flag signalling categories it contested while the SJAM southern region bagged the overall champion's award,” she said.
The cooking competition also saw renowned chefs — Alan Wong, Kenny Low and Khiew Kok Chin — rendering their expertise.
While Wong has nearly three decades of experience in the industry, Low has eight international awards under his belt and Khiew, a Teluk Intan native, has won three international culinary awards.
The winners received their prizes from state SJAM commander Dr Chan Tong Meng.
