Volkswagen's Merdeka Customer Appreciation Event 2015

Volkswagen Malaysia organised the first cooking lesson for VW customers as part of Volkswagen's Customer Relation Management Campaign for Malaysia Day. It was held at at 19 Culinary on the 12th, 13th and 19th Sept. We were lucky to be selected for the 19th slot. We were taught 2 dishes; a typical German potato salad (Kartoffelsalat) and a popular Malaysian grilled chicken (Ayam Percik). These 2 recipes created a very well fusion meal!

Classes were kept small, no more than 20 participants. We worked in teams and had a lot of fun learning with Chef Khairil. Everyone was rewarded each meal after, with a sit down dining. Overall, a great and relaxed experience and a great initiative by Volkswagen. :)
