World Sushi Cup 2018
Chef Sky Tai, the Malaysian head sushi chef at the popular Standing Sushi Bar in Singapore, won this year's World Sushi Cup.
For the uninitiated, the World Sushi Cup is an annual competition help in Japan, open to non-Japanese chefs with at least 5 years of sushi making experience both in and out of Japan. The competition is broken down into two categories: edomae sushi and creative sushi, requiring participants to have passed a test held by the All Japan Sushi Association and World Sushi Skills Institute to qualify.
We caught up with the Malaysian-born winner at a recent event held by The Norwegian Seafood Council here in Kuala Lumpur and got to learn more about the chef and his accomplishments.
