After four
successful editions with encouraging achievements within the chef community,
the national cooking competition had ceased its operation since 2017 to
re-evaluate and re-assess its influence as well as crafting a more effective
media plans for Vietnamese cuisine to present more to the world. In light of
such preparation, the organizer aims to make crucial changes to the competition
rules book. In the meantime, a longer interval is meant for participating chefs
to rebuild their anticipation, sharpen their skills and extend their signature
list of healthy and delicious dishes for more challenges ahead.

Despite
having been delayed, the Golden Spoon Awards still took part in several
promotional activities nationwide and abroad such as displaying and introducing
local herbs and spices at ASEAN – India Expo and Forum in Bangkok (Thailand) in
August, 2017, having its awarded chef showcasing and presenting signature
dishes at Ambiente in Frankfurt (Germany), sponsoring other cooking
competitions such as Vietnam Culinary Challenge 2017 hosted by Saigon
Professional Chef’s Guild and the Future Chef 2017 by Hoa Sen University, etc.
Besides,
during this interval, GSA would be able to focus on a more ambitious project
namely Vietnamese Food Lovers (see more at here: website http://vietnamesefoodlovers.org and
Fanpage https://www.facebook.com/Vietnamesefoodlover). This is a forum for foodies and
culinary experts who are fond of Vietnamese cuisine. The debut also strengthens
the organizer’s attempt to introduce and promote Vietnamese cuisine and culture
to local and international friends.
Also, the
Awards launched its eponymous professional chef’s club (GSA Chef’s Club) with
more than 100 members who used to be 15 finalists of previous editions,
culinary experts and prestigious chefs nationwide. Since its inauguration, the
Chef’s Club has succeeded hosting professional workshops with multiple topics:
Euro-Asia Cuisine, Wine & Dine, etc.
On the way
to revamp this reputable competition, the organizer came across both objective
and subjective obstacles. Therefore, the Golden Spoon Awards 2018 cannot return
at full strength to meet the community’s expectation. Thanks to a longer
interval, the GSA organizer commits to broader publicity for the Chef’s Club
and participation in more culinary events to promote the national food heritage
to the world.
On behalf of
the organizer, we look forward to your continued companionship, support and
kind understanding in order for us to achieve more with the one-and-only
mission: Vietnam to be “Kitchen of the World”.
