Held in conjunction with Food&HotelAsia (FHA) 2018, FHA Culinary Challenge (FCC) is the region's leading international culinary competition dedicated to the promotion of culinary excellence. With strong support from World Association of Chef Societies (WACS), Singapore Chefs' Association and regional chefs associations, it is the arena for budding culinary talents from around the world to display their masterly skills and be accredited by a panel of internationally acclaimed judges.

The Gourmet Team Challenge is open to National Teams, Regional Teams and teams from hotels, restaurants, culinary institutions, airlines or catering organisations. Held from 24 to 27 April, two to three teams will present their creation each day at Gourmet Restaurant, a purpose build venue located within FHA 2018.

Each team will prepare a cold edible buffet with one hot appetiser for 30 guests to be served to diners in a cafe setting, akin to the concept of off-site catering.
