The "Kangaroo Bun Cha" event was a culinary competition between four talented chefs from renowned 5-star hotels in Hanoi, including the InterContinental Hanoi Westlake, Daewoo Hanoi, Sofitel Plaza, and the Hanoi Cooking Center. With the theme "Kangaroo Bun Cha," the chefs were tasked with preparing traditional Vietnamese bun cha using kangaroo meat.

What made the program particularly special were its two distinguished judges: the Australian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Vietnam, Mr. Hugh Borrowman, and MasterChef Vietnam judge, Mr. Luke Nguyen. Both judges were very impressed with the kangaroo-style bun cha prepared by the four chefs. Hanoi Cooking Center was honored to be the winner of the competition.
