Enriching the culture of Northern Mindanao (region X), Cagayan de Oro Hotel and Restaurant Association (COHARA) as a chapter member of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of the Philippines (HRAP) presents the KUMBIRA 2010 – a culinary festival featuring various food and beverage competitions, cooking demonstrations, and trade exhibits.
This 3-day event, August 18-20, with a theme of “Local Flavors for Global Competitiveness” will be held at The Atrium, Limketkai Mall. Celebrating its 14th year, it will again hold MINDANAO CHEF WARS, a regional competition divided into two categories: the professional category and the student category. The winners will then be representing Mindanao in the CHEF WARS NATIONAL COMPETITION in Makati city on September 10-11, 2010. This will be sponsored by ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation.
Last year’s professional category was won by Pryce Plaza Hotel, followed by Café Laguna. While St. Michael’s Iligan and Christ the King Gingoog won the student’s category as 1st and 2nd, respectively. On the other hand, this year’s competition will be participated by 18 hotels, 13 restaurants and 57 schools according to Ms. Josephine H. Roque, the Senior Tourism Operations Officer. May it be COHARA or non-COHARA member, all in one big event.
