What a day! Besides a number of workshops, an open day, and the finale of the "Power Chef cooking competition", the 9th of April also was the day when the 4th Hot Cat Tour hit KDU College.
Our Hospitality Race alludes to Hotel, Catering and Tourism, the main pilars of hospitality.
Sixteen schools from around Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley, a total of 57 teams (i.e. 171 participants), came to KDU College to race against one another in a treasure hunt, that demanded stamina, knowledge of the world and the hospitality industry and - more than ever - strong team spirit.
We had twelve exciting tasks prepared for the teams. The race took them all through the college, end even to the car park area, where they solved puzzles, prepared dishes, identified foreign countries and almost teared down the Student Service Centre. Sweat dripping and out of breath they were chasing for more clues. At around 11:15am, the first team had completed the final activity, our “Minefield” (an obstacle course, that has to be tackled blindfolded), and crossed the finish line. It was almost ten minutes later, that the next teams entered the minefield and the outcome here could not have been any closer. It was only a split second - literally - that decided between second and third place.
So, here are the results:
2nd Runner Up: SMK Bandar Utama Damansara 4, B
Runner Up: SMK Bandar Utama Damansara 4, D
Champion: SMK USJ 12, Rainbow
The champion team took home a cheque over 1000 RM and of course our challenge trophy.
We're sure, to see many more teams from all those school for the next installment of this event in 2010!
And underneath are some pictures of all the events, Hot Cat Tour, Power Chef, an also of some workshops we had on as part of the open day.
