Sponsorship drive for Charity events and International Chefs Day
Hong Kong, September 14, 2007

Dear Sponsor
Greetings from the Hong Kong Chefs Association and we need your help on the 18 October 07 at noon at the Hong Chi Training Center for mentally challenged children and the Fu Hong Society at Pokfulam
The World Association of Cooks Societies (WACS) had declared October 20. as the International Chef’s Day. This event was called into life at the last WACS conference in Dublin, Ireland April 2004 and is the brain child of our honorary WACS president Bill Gallagher.
On that day, chefs from every corner of the world organize and participated in some special event in order to the recognition of our trade. And to celebrate and promote our colorful profession.
Also here in Hong Kong; the Chefs Association is a member of WACS; was contributing to this event for the 4rt time already in a special and rewarding way.
The committee had decided that we the chefs from different hotels, restaurant, clubs and caterings come together and would cook for about 600 to 700 mentally challenged children of the Hong Chi Association, which runs the Hong Chi Pine Hill Advanced Training center and relays mainly on donation to run and maintain its facilities.
Since the response in the last 3 years was over whelming, we decided also to sponsor a Lunch to the 600 mentally challenged adults of the Fu Hong Society in Pokfulam.
We will again create two buffets simultaneously and we asked all the professional chefs and supplier for help.
The response over the years from our friends in the industry is beyond our dreams and resounding.
It was a great pleasure to had received so much help from everyone in the hospitality industry in the past,
Now we would like to ask you for your help in 2007 on that special day.
This can be done trough cash or food donation, please have a look at the attached list and quantity. If you some of those items or something in comparison we would very much appreciated. Please send e-mail to rudolf.muller@disney.com
I return we will have your company’s logo on our website and give you due recognition for you deed
This will be again a very rewarding and heartwarming experience for all of us, if we are able to make a small difference in the everyday lives of those children’s.
We the Hong Kong Chefs Association hope; that you can confirm your help and attendance.
A big thank you from the bottom of the heart. We shall count our blessings everyday.
Rudy Muller
President of the Hong Kong Chefs Association

The Great American BBQ
The US food community held its Great American BBQ event on September 27th, highlighting US beef, pork and lamb, and many other specialty US foods prepared by a range of Hong Kong Chefs. International blues recording star and Hong Kong resident Henry Chung provided some serious Texas blues to pulsate this annual event and round out the Texas theme. Supported by the Texas Beef Council, and the American Consulate General, and organized by the US Meat Export Federation, the Great American BBQ featured eight cooking stations operated by Madison's (Chef Ringo Lee), Shooter's 88 (Chef Lee Kwok Leung), En Japan (Chef A Wah), Tsui Wah (Chef Ho Ting Chi), The Hong Kong Jockey Club (Chef Bruno Burg), Lee Fa Yuen Korea House (Chef Seo Wan Seock), and Viceroy (Chef Ravi Lal Bhandari & Amo). Steak Expert Corporate Executive Chef John Wingertsahn slow-smoked brisket and other US beef and pork items on a automobile-sized Texas smoker. Other specialties included hundreds of dozens of fresh oysters provided by Oriole Food Company Ltd., Sunkist freshly squeezed orange juice, and wines provided by E&J Gallo, Blackstone Winery and Wente Vineyards. Ice cold Brooklyn Lager was provided by Liquid Assets, along with Haagen Dazs ice cream. This year's event also included a selection of American specialty cheeses. The event took place under an unusual cloudless sky on the deck of the Happy Valley Race Stand of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. The event's estimated 350 attendees included Hong Kong's meat importing establishment, members of HK F&B and retail establishments, and foreign consulate officials. Information on how to hold a Texas-themed event can be obtained by writing hongkong@usmef.org.
