26 June 2025 - Cooking activity at VTC

On July 22, 2025, 25 students from S1 to S5 engaged in the Hospitality Engagement program conducted by the International Culinary Institute and the Chinese Culinary Institute under the Vocational Training Centre (VTC). This initiative aimed to enhance their cooking skills and deepen their understanding of both Western delicacies and Chinese dishes.

During the program, students learned techniques such as braiding bread and piping buttercream decoratively, including creating cupcake bouquets. They gained insights into the composition of ingredients in bread-making and the significance of each step in the recipe, such as resting the dough and massaging the buttercream, guided by professionals at the International Culinary Institute.

After lunch at the student canteen, prepared by students from the Chinese Culinary Institute, an experienced master chef led two student assistants to demonstrate dumpling-making skills and the key techniques for crafting red bean paste pastries (豆沙角), a traditional Chinese dessert, in a professional kitchen.

Both students and teachers found the workshop immensely satisfying and gained valuable knowledge from the experience. We are deeply grateful for this enriching opportunity provided by the VTC and look forward to participating in future workshops.
