Chef Training Course for Resettlement Village of Myitsone Hydropower Project Opened

To improve the employment skills of villagers in the resettlement village of Myitsone Hydropower Project and help them master some skills, ACHC has organized a series of training in conjunction with Yangon's special chef training institution. On the morning of July 17, the first chef training class was officially started, with 30 villagers from Aung Myin Thar and Maliyan Resettlement Villages attended.

Opening Ceremony

At the training kick-off ceremony, Zhang Huangui, director of the Sustainable Development Department of ACHC, explained the purpose and significance of the training, encouraged the trainees to learn cooking techniques seriously and complete the training as soon as possible, and wished the training course a complete success. U Kyaw Myint Oo, the instructor, made detailed requirements for the training and showed on-the-spot the cooking skills of Sichuan-style Stewed Chicken in Casserole and Thai-style Wok-Fried Pork with Chili.

On-the-Spot Teaching

After tasting the dishes, the trainees were full of praise and enthusiasm. They recorded every step in detail and raised their hands from time to time for consultation. Of the 30 trainees, 16 operate restaurants in the Jinkai River Scenic Spot. Through learning new dishes and improving cooking skills, on the one hand, they can provide better service to tourists. On the other hand, it will effectively increase family income. They said that such chef training is practical and effective.

Taste Dishes

The series of training is divided into 4 sessions, with 6 days each and a total of 18 courses taught. The class arrangement is compact and rich. The dishes are improved in combination with Myanmar's, Chinese, Thai and local traditional home cooking styles to meet local tastes and market demands.
