Monday, October 20, 2008  Singapore Junior Chefs Clubwishes all Members & Chefs a Happy International Chefs Day May you find a special meaning in this day! International Chefs Day Singapore 2008 International Chefs Day Singapore International Chefs Day 2008 will be celebrated with a slight twist in Singapore – instead of going down to homes and cooking at old folks homes, the Singapore Chefs Association (SCA) has decided to hold a series of cooking classes at At-Sunrice. The guests: more than 100 children from Andrew & Grace Home, Northlight and Care Corner FSC Woodlands. “We wanted to share our skills with the under-privileged kids, and teach them that eating well may not be an expensive affair. With the right culinary skills, such as how to handle meats or cut vegetables the right way, they can be empowered to whip up a delicious, healthy meal at home anytime at a low cost,” said Eric Teo, president of SCA. Held on 20 October, International Chefs Day will see chefs from SCA and junior chefs from the Singapore Junior Chefs Club leading four three-hour cooking classes. The program line-up will start with a spice tour upon the arrival of the young guests, followed by a chef demonstration and a hands-on session where the kids will be able to put into practice the dishes they’ve been taught. The day will end with a communal meal with the chefs. “It is our hope that we will be able to create an experience that will be memorable for the children. At the same time, we hope to be able to share with them a little more about the chef profession, and hopefully inspire some to join the future chefs’ generation,” said Teo For more about ICD: http://wacs2000.org/icd/icd2008/ Friday, October 17, 2008 SCA Membership Card Privileges  Dear Members,As a member of our esteemed association, the SCA Committee is continuously and tirelessly striving to bring privileges to all members.

Labels: SCA Wednesday, October 15, 2008 SCA Invitation Gardenia Factory SCA Invitation Gardenia Factory Dear Members,EDUCATIONAL TOUR TO “GARDENIA FACTORY” We wish to invite you to Gardenia Factory – with its slogan “so good… you can even eat it on its own”. Gardenia first started as a small in-store bakery in 1978 at Bukit Timah Plaza producing variety bread with the help of experienced American baker, Horatio ‘Sye’ Slocumm, who had 35 years experience in the bakery business. Gardenia expanded extensively throughout the year into the neighbouring region such as Thailand, Malaysia, China, India and Philippines. Gardenia acquired Bonjour in 2001. Gardenia uses the traditional American Sponge and Dough bread-making method to bake that soft-textured loaf with a tender crust and distinct taste. This unique method ensures that Gardenia's bread stays fresh longer and tastes so good you can even eat it on its own. Gardenia's Research & Development team constantly strives to come up with new products through a careful process of rigorous adaptation and trial with in-depth taste testing and feedback from the public. Despite a competitive environment, Gardenia has remained the market leader till today. Currently, Gardenia has 33 varieties of freshly baked breads and buns that cater to every need.
