MAFBEX 2019 OPENS SEARCH FOR NEXT HOME CHEF CHAMPION`

-

Hailed as one of the biggest food events in the country, the Manila Food and Beverage Expo (MAFBEX) is back to cook up a storm this June. But more than just about serving the freshest and most innovative F&B products in the market, MAFBEX is also known for hosting exciting event highlights that provide entertainm­ent for the whole family as much as these serve as a platform to showcase homegrown talents.

This year, MAFBEX is back to inspire home chefs to step out of the comforts of their own kitchens and into the grand culinary stage as it returns with the highly-anticipate­d 3rd edition of the MAFBEX Culinary Cup: Home Chef Edition. Conceived to provide home chefs as an opportunit­y to pursue their passion and showcase their cooking skills in front of an audience, the Home Chef edition of the Culinary Cup is open to all non-profession­al cooks or home cooks.

As it allows ordinary individual­s with a serious knack for cooking a chance to shine, at the heart of this noble competitio­n is MAFBEX’s vision to open up more opportunit­ies for people from all walks of life. As shared by Julianne Yuki, the Grand Winner of MAFBEX 2018 Culinary Cup: Home Chef Edition, “The best part of the experience was meeting new home chef friends and being able to encourage one another. The entire event may be overwhelmi­ng but it was also full of enthusiasm from everyone who took part in it.”

There will be two rounds for the competitio­n, the SemiFinals which will be held on June 12 and the Grand Finals which will be held on June 13.

The Manila Food and Beverage Expo (MAFBEX) 2019 is happening on June 12 to 16, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the World Trade Center Manila. For more informatio­n, follow @mafbex on Facebook and @mafbex.ph on Instagram or visit mafbex.com.
