Washoku World Challenge Result of Singapore Qualifying Tournament
Singapore Qualifying Tournament was held on 1th October 2019 at SHATEC and 9 chefs competed for their technical expertise and passion for Japanese food.
The first section was cooking technique (basic knife skills) test for 15 minutes.
