HK hosts Canberra Southern Cross Club Graduate Cooks Award Winner

By Christopher Gallaga

Each year the Canberra Southern Cross Club awards a young chef with a trip to Hong Kong for culinary education and enlightenment. This year’s talented young recipient was David Lockwood of Canberra. David spent the week interning in many of Hong Kong’s prestigious food and beverage establishments, and of course getting the plenty of cultural experience as well.

One of the traditions the HKCA has begun for this young guest chef is a Saturday morning tour of the Aberdeen wholesale fish market followed by a dim sum brunch in the nearby retail wet market. This year was no exception, and we had a great time showing David around.

David was especially lucky this year, as his visit just happened to coincide with the AGM. And so he was an honored guest at the event where he seemed to get along quite nicely networking with the many attendees from the HKYCC.

The HKCA hosts this award winner annually along with many other visiting chefs and trainees. If you want to get involved with this or other guest hosting events in the future please let us know.
