ARE YOU READY FOR THE BIG BREAK?

                                                

Are you a fan of TV reality shows?  I am, especially those culinary shows, like MasterChef, Hell’s Kitchen, Top Chef and of course, Junior MasterChef!  Well, now the Asian Food Channel (AFC) together with Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) will be bringing you a brand new series called “The Big Break”.

In this exciting AFC Original Production produced in partnership with Resorts World™ Sentosa, 12 underprivileged youths from 6 different countries in Asia are offered an opportunity to transform their lives by learning invaluable skills needed in the kitchen. The final winner will be offered a one-year scholarship (worth S$30,000) at the prestigious At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy in Singapore!

Watch them travel the distance as they visit local charity organizations to find worthy young culinary candidates who exemplify drive, commitment and passion that are needed to excel in the kitchen. It is not easy searching for one shining star, but the result is well worth the effort!

To assist the youths on their journey, RWS and AFC have also assembled an all-star line-up of international and distinguished guest chefs to take on the role of judges and mentors. Featured chefs include the world’s most Michelin star-decorated Chef Joël Robuchon, Australian Celebrity Chef Scott Webster, RWS’s Executive Chefs Alan Orreal, Edmund Toh and Ron Cheng, as well as Unilever Food Solutions’ Regional Executive Chef Yen Koh. These world-class chefs ensure that each contestant receives first-class culinary and food and beverage training throughout the programme, exposing them to a myriad of different cuisines and flavours from around the world. The Big Break will also give them an immersive cross-cultural experience, while teaching them invaluable application techniques.

The challenges of poverty and a lack of education have always been a prevailing issue faced by disadvantaged youths in Asia. With so few opportunities available to those in need, many children grow up unable to reach their full potential.

Though the road to success for everyone is paved with hardship and adversity, these youths are willing to face it all with determination.
