Contestants present their culinary creations at the Laos-China Youth Entrepreneurship Competition.

Laos-China snack cooking competition hailed a great success

The Laos-China Snack Cooking Competition, which took place in Vientiane last month, attracted lots of enthusiastic participants and public interest.
The event was organised as part of the Laos-China Youth Entrepreneurship Competition, aiming to encourage creativity, innovation, and business potential among young participants while promoting cultural exchange between Laos and China.
The competition attracted a number of contestants, who showcased a wide variety of snacks highlighting the rich diversity of local food culture. Participants presented pre-prepared snacks and also gave live cooking demonstrations on stage, allowing judges and the audience to experience the cooking processes firsthand.
The judging panel evaluated the entries based on several criteria, including taste, presentation, creativity, hygiene, food safety, and overall quality. Many contestants successfully blended Chinese and Lao culinary traditions, creating unique snacks with distinctive flavours. Several of the snacks demonstrated strong commercial potential and were considered suitable for further development in the Lao market.
Beyond the competition itself, the event served as an important platform for food entrepreneurs, young innovators, and food enthusiasts to showcase their talents, exchange ideas, and learn from one another.
It also helped to strengthen cultural ties and cooperation in culinary arts between Laos and China, fostering deeper mutual understanding and collaboration. The Laos-China Snack Cooking Competition not only celebrated culinary creativity but also played a meaningful role in promoting youth entrepreneurship, cultural exchange, and sustainable development within the food sector.
