PETALING JAYA: All home cooks who love serving up healthy food that tantalises the taste buds, it’s your time to shine!

Malaysians can showcase their cooking talent in the Live Great Healthy Brekkie Challenge, held in conjunctio­n with the Star Health Expo 2018.

In collaborat­ion with Sunway Le Cordon Bleu, the challenge would see participan­ts preparing a healthy “no-cook” meal within the stipulated time period.

The first, second and third winners would win cash prizes of RM2,000, RM1,500 and RM1,000 respective­ly as well as other spon- sored items.

Celebrity chef Chef Wan would be among the esteemed panel of judges, which also includes DC restaurant chef-owner Darren Chin and Sunway Le Cordon Bleu technical director and cuisine chef instructor Rodolphe Onno.

Hosted by Onno, 12 to 15 shortliste­d finalists would take part in the Live Great Healthy Brekkie Challenge held at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre on July 15.

On the challenge day, finalists are given 45 minutes to prepare a meal based on directions given, using ingredient­s from a mys- tery box.

Finalists would be judged based on the following criteria – healthiest, most creative, best flavour, best presentati­on.
