The students were supervised by lecturer Chong Wei Tzeh and chef instructor Soon Pau Voon in the cooking demo. Head Chef Patrick Siau, originally from Tawau, who did an elaborate sugar sculpture managed to impress the students and staff at the Le Cordon Bleu.

Hotel Management, Events Management and Culinary Arts diploma students at Sunway are encouraged to participate in competitions and external events as such experiences expose students to the real world. The experience of the students in France was invaluable in enhancing learning and skills and widening the knowledge of the students.
