The theme for this year’s SCA Family Day on 15th June was back to revisit some of activities of many of us had fun with in our childhood years. Growing up, many of us now work in urban concrete jungles and our kids are surrounded by modern environmental landscapes and technologies. The location of our Family Day Program at Bottle Tree Park in Sembawang was to give all a chance to reconnect the same kind of fun and educational insights to farms and nature in “countryside” Singapore. It was a day where many SCA members brought their families, some with three generations in tow to re-experience life in a “kampong” as they knew in their earlier years. Being kampong means to have fun catching fish in long kangs or little drains, fishing for fresh water prawns and collecting fruits and learning how vegetables are cultivated.
Bottle Tree Park sits on an area that was once a village with prawn farms in the Lower Yishun/Sembawang area. Now beautifully landscaped yet still retaining the characteristic of kampong outdoor activities, many SCA members and their families had a chance to see how simple vegetables like the leafy greens we eat everyday and tropical fruits are grown. Being the month of June where many local fruits are in season, there were longans, jackfruit, guavas, durian, mangoes, starfruit and rambutan trees around all beaming with fruit. The kids also had an educational time seeing how cabbage, corn, ladies fingers, tomatoes, spinach and many other local vegetables are grown. Still the main attraction was to be able to have fun learning how to catch long kang fishes with the adults, waddling in ankle high waters. Others also had a go at prawn fishing and some of the lucky ones manage to land quite a few numbers within an hour or two.
With so much activities going on, the scrumptious lunch break at 12pm was much welcomed by the hungry crowd and everybody feasted on a spread of burgers, pasta, laksa, nasi lemak, chicken rice and for the kids, in addition there was ice cream, pop corn and candy floss to go around too! Entertainment was provided with games on stage and some of our very sporting members were edged on to go upstage and have a go with the skits. There were also prizes for prawn fishing and for those with unique collections of long kang fishes caught. Overall everyone had an enjoyable day of fun filled and educational activities that was made possible with generous sponsors like Foodxervices, Nestle Professional, Ng Ai Poultry, Kiom Kee, Angliss, Wan Kee Trading, Sunfresh Singapore, Convotherm Singapore, Matilda Nonya Kuih Pte Ltd.

The
results of the much-awaited Singapore chapter of Bocuse d’Or culinary
competition are finally out!
After five hours of grueling competition in the training kitchen at
ITE Clementi, Chef Jason Tan from Le Saint Julien Restaurant in Singapore
beat the other six candidates and emerged winner. He will represent
Singapore at the Asia selection of Bocuse d’Or in Shanghai from 29 till
31 may 2008 , where he will once again compete against six other chefs.
Four finalists will represent Asia in the bi-annual gastronomic event
in Lyon in January 2009.

The
25 year old impressed the judging panel with his dish of slow cooked
Norwegian salmon. The judges included chefs such as Otto Weibel (Regional
President of Bocuse d’Or Singapore committee), Christophe Megel (Singapore
President of Bocuse d’Or Singapore Committee) and Tony Khoo (Co-ordinator).
According
to Christophe Megel, “Jason got it right in terms of cooking techniques
and respecting the product. He also displayed through his dish that
he understood the full concept of Bocuse d’Or.”
The
other finalists who were vying for the chance to represent Singapore
in this culinary competition included Edward Voon (Executive Chef, Aurum),
Robin Ho (Executive Chef, The Marmalade Group) and Yong Bing Ngen (Executive
Chef, Majestic Restaurant). The Bocuse d’Or competion, named after the
great 3-Michelin star chef Paul Bocuse, was conceived in 1987. The idea
was to have chefs prepare a meat and fish dish over a period of five
and a half hours in separate equipped kitchens. Although the basic ingredients
are pre-determined, the chefs have a free hand in the preparation and
the choice of all the side-dishes and sauces. Meanwhile, spectators
are cheering and blowing their foghorns on the grandstands while facing
the kitchens elevated on grandstands.
In
the past, finalists from Singapore were automatically qualified to enter
the Bocuse d’Or competition in Lyon. This year, the new structure requires
Asian countries to compete in Bocuse d’Or in Shanghai, where the best
four will go to Lyon. Finalists who have represented Singapore in the
past include Ivan Yeo, William Tan and Benton Toh. The team of experienced
chefs from Singapore Chefs Association is all geared up to train Chef
Jason Tan to ensure that he will be in tip-top form.
As
Christophe Megel shared, “Now is the beginning to excellence. This will
be an example of how if one trains intensively, they will be able to
master the art and craft of the culinary arts.”
