Feature Story of International Chefs Day
Coming together to share and appreciate food is an
activity enjoyed by everybody around the world. To
celebrate the 2nd International Chefs Day, the Hong
Kong Chefs Association is proud to have organized
a Charity Event for the Hong Chi Association.
Everyone, including the disabled, enjoy good food.
So what better way to spread goodwill than to do what
we do best – prepare and share good food, laughter
and fun with students of the Hong Chi Association!
Hong Chi Association is dedicated to helping those
with disabilities learn to be independent and they
provide vocational training to help students learn
skills to support themselves. They perform a needed
and important service to the community.
So early on International Chefs Day, we traveled
in a convoy of coaches and delivery lorries to the
Hong Chi Pinehill Advance Training Centre in Tai Po,
New Territories to serve 1,000 intellectually and
physically disabled students. Along with fine cuisine,
the students and staff were entertained by performers
from a local television station. The result was a
feast befitting of International Chefs Day. There
were trays of salads, soups, hot dishes, desserts
and beverages, all donated by generous sponsors. No
one was left out. Those remaining in their rooms received
special lunch packages in nicely designed boxes.
Although we had to serve two rounds of service in
a short time, everyone had an enjoyable time. We were
so touched that some students recognize and remember
us from last year’s event. By 3:30 pm, we had
finished and were on our way back to the city. Was
it a worthwhile event? The smiles of the students
say it all and as we ride back, we are already thinking
about next year.
