The foundation provides Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>’s culinary students access to the best knowledge and exposure to cutting-edge techniques through a variety of programs with local, national and internationally recognized chefs and food experts.<\/p>\n

The students participated in tastings of beef, goat cheese, chocolate, passion fruit juice and coffee as Wong reviewed the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Regional Cuisine and ethnic influences. He was assisted by his team, including Vice President of Development Leigh Ito, Marketing Manager Nicole Ng, Pastry Chef Michelle Karr-Ueoka, Sous Chef Gilbert Arangure and Restaurant Manager Cherie Yuen.<\/p>\n
