He’s like the Anthony Hopkins of the gastronomic world- much acclaimed- and some say he resembles actor Kelsey Grammer. We’re talking about legendary chef Joël Robuchon, who not only opened one, but two restaurants at Resorts World Sentosa.

While the movie industry award their best with shiny Oscar statuettes, the culinary world recognizes their finest with Michelin stars. And Robuchon has 26 Michellin stars under his belt, making him the most Michelin-star decorated chef in the world.

Chefs-in-the-making?

July 25, 2011 rwscooper

In the inaugural aRWSome Apprenticeship mentorship programme launched in June, we saw students from different walks of life coming together with the same goal – to learn the ropes of becoming a chef. Over the course of three days, the young ones picked up a myriad of culinary tips from a team of Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) chefs who, aside from imparting their skills, were also present to assess the students’ performance. The top student chefs, selected at the end of the course, would walk away with the grand prize of 2 pairs of tickets to Universal Studios Singapore each, with express passes included.

Graded based on several factors like professionalism, team work, safety and their ability to whip up a hearty meal, the winning team emerged in the form of two infectiously bubbly female participants – Nurul and Rosie.
