In May 2007, a team of Filipino chefs won the Gourmet Team Challenge held in Hong Kong. Under time pressure, the Philippine team prepared a cold buffet of 27 different “contemporary” dishes from soup to dessert before a team of international judges in the biennial Hong Kong International Culinary Classic at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.
The all-Filipino team was composed of Makati Shangri-La’s Virgilio Timola and Anatolio Bleza, Mandarin Oriental’s Arnold Guevarra, and pastry chef Salvador Trinidad, with Ariel Manuel of Lolo Dad’s as team captain and J Gamboa of Cirkulo and Milky Way as team manager.
Guevarra also won the bronze medal for the individual live cooking in the Western cuisine (professional) red mullet and prawn category.
