On 07-09 December 2022 at SECC, Food and Hotel Vietnam hosted the most anticipated competition for talented chefs across the country as well as the globe – Vietnam Culinary Challenge 2022 (VNCC) took place, attracted 344 candidates from 128 organizations in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Malaysia.

For years, Vietnam Culinary Challenge has been one of the anticipated events at Food & Hotel Vietnam. With the stewardship of Chef Norbert Ehrbar and the patronage of the UNESCO Center for Vietnamese Gastronomy Culture (VGC), FHV & VNCC foster a vision of celebrating dedicated innovation in the food & restaurant community, enabling better product sourcing through the exhibition, and training the next generation. It is the ideal platform for chefs to build and expand their professional network with the key players in the F&B industry, and above all,  obtain respected certificates. 

The competitions occurred for three days in 14 classes, from national cuisine, meat, seafood, dessert to fruit and vegetable life carving, together with real California milk pizza challenge. After three continuous days of competing, VNCC distributed 177 medals: 28 Gold Medals; 61 Silver Medals; 88 Bronze Medals and 132 Diplomas. Besides the awards given to the winners of each class, VNCC selected special prizes for food safety & hygiene, grand champion, best craver or best culinary establishment. Through all its sections, participants can embark on a challenging journey, test their limits and be inspired to come up with dishes of the highest standards, presenting the best accomplishment to the jury.

It is no wonder that Vietnam Culinary Challenge is named the most appreciated competition among professional chefs as well as rising stars. Chefs are encouraged to display their passion & creativity.
