Nicola Rosenblum said that the Taste of Australia in Brunei will be an opportunity for Bruneians to see what Australian products are available in the Sultanate, and to try some exciting new ones.
“From high-quality Australian Wagyu beef, to delicious Meredith Dairy Goats Cheese, and seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables, there is a great range of premium Australian products available here in Brunei,” the Australian High Commissioner added.
This year’s event will see renowned Australian chef Todd Moses showing off his culinary skills with a number of cooking demonstrations.
Chef Moses has cooked in some of Melbourne’s top kitchens, including Circa the Prince and Supernormal, he now produces some of Melbourne’s finest fare at the award-winning French Saloon, where he displays his relaxed yet confident approach, with an emphasis on the best products available.
Chef Moses will be joined by local chef and cookbook author, Siti Kaprawi, to judge the Taste of Australia in Brunei’s Culinary Challenge.
