Malaysia wins first place at the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie

Malaysia has won for the first time the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie in Lyon. The contest was celebrating its 30th anniversary in the heart of Sirha

 

 

21 teams converging from all the world competed over 2 days to win the title of “World Pastry Champion”. Among the participating countries the team, composed of Wei Loon TAN (sugar specialist), Otto TAY (chocolate specialist) and Ming Ai LOI (ice specialist), impressed the jury and won over the judges thanks to a most creative and surprising performance.

For the 30thanniversary, the contest was keen to challenge the participants’ technical and creative skills by requiring for the first time the 100% vegan dessert. Wei Loon TAN, Otto TAY and Ming Ai LOI stood out among the other competitors under the watchful eye of Gabriel Paillasson (President founder of the contest), Philippe Rigollot (President of the International Committee), Etienne Leroy (President of the jury) and Gilles Renusson (President of Honour). Paillasson has particularly appreciated their work“It is the first time Malaysia is on the podium and it’s a new proof that in life when you are a good worker and you have a good professor, you get that kind of result. The presentation work was great and they followed the rules. It is important to me that the whole pastry world evolves and all teams have increased their level”.
