They will be later posted in social media before & during Ramadan & Hari Raya ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ to generate awareness of the availability of the Australian lamb & beef products ๐Ÿฅฉ

Professional butchery is not just about cutting meat, it also showcases the butcherโ€™s skill in deboning, breaking down primals into an assortment of cuts like grill or pan steaks ๐Ÿฅฉ, stir fry strips ๐Ÿฅ“, cubes, yakiniku, shabu-shabu ๐Ÿฒ, sukiyaki ๐Ÿฅ˜, burgers ๐Ÿ” & sausage ๐ŸŒญ making, marination & value-adding ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿคค

Retail butchers would need to present & display meat attractively in the meat chiller counters, applying price tag ๐Ÿท๏ธ labelling, reducing meat wastages, increasing yields & most importantly providing convenience & practical meat products for consumers

For foodservice butchers, there are not many being hired in the hotel industry ๐Ÿจ now due to rising costs.ย  However, if a hotel has many restaurants to cater to, the butchers will be required to have skills like meat cutting, deboning, marinating, sausage making, dry aging & preparation for oven roast, grill & creative cooking ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿ”ช The goal is to ensure the meat is cut & prepared for the chefs to cook to precision, tenderness & customersโ€™ satisfaction ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

These butchery skills were called upon in the Ultimate Young Butchers Competition organised by the Aussie Meat Academy at Culinaire Malaysia 2023

The butchery event was part of FHM 2023. Did you pay a visit to FHM 2023โ“โ‰๏ธ What have you observeโ“โ‰๏ธย 

This competition encouraged plus set a benchmark & ๐Ÿ†• platform to promote the butchery profession, a sense of belonging to professionalism & to support the foodservice & retail industry

Most people may think butchery has โŒ future career path, but this is untrue as many butchers have become Executive Chefs & Store Managers. The butchery skills set is recognisable & the demand for butchers is high โฌ†๏ธ especially in the retail industry & neighbouring countries like Singapore ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ are constantly sourcing for skilled butchersย 

There are 24 participants from Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ, Singapore ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ, Taiwan ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ & Vietnam ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ in the competition, all of whom have at least 1๏ธโƒฃ year butchery experience & are aged 38 & below

Part of the competition requires the candidate to demonstrate by breaking up a Primal of an Aussie Lamb & Beef cut into different sub-primal cuts ๐Ÿฅฉ๐Ÿฅ“ & submitting ideas within the given time frame that are applicable to foodservice or/and retail requirements. Participants will also have to cook a western or an Asian main course, to be presented in western style ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‹

From this media attendance, SiennyLovesDrawing ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘€ has observed how each of the participants carefully prepared their tools, especially knife ๐Ÿ”ช to cut & set up including display tools for this challenge at the hall prior to the exact challenge timing โฑ๏ธ

The competition was in 4๏ธโƒฃ sessions over 2๏ธโƒฃ days, with the winners disclosed on 22 Sept ie. The last day of FHM 2023 during the FHM Closing dinner ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

The butchery champion Liao Ci-Hong of Yun Chang Beef Restaurant, Taiwan received RM3๏ธโƒฃK & a trophy ๐Ÿ†

The 1๏ธโƒฃst runner-up Lai Chih Lun ofย  Gourmetโ€™s Partner, Taiwan won RM2๏ธโƒฃK & a trophy ๐Ÿ†

The 2๏ธโƒฃnd runner-up Mohd Zamri Bin Mohd Ramli of TFP Retail Sdn Bhd, Malaysia received RM1๏ธโƒฃK and a trophy ๐Ÿ†

โ€œThe competition is to promote butchery as a profession,โ€ said Rose Yong, Malaysia Country Representative, Meat & Livestock Australia. โ€œItโ€™s a good career, working in big supermarkets & hotels. Some big hotels hire butchers not only to cut meat but also to make sausages, roast meat in a combi oven, do sous vide & smoking.โ€ย 

Hence the competency, versatility & skills of the butcher are invaluable in the foodserviceย  industry.ย  The competition showcases practical ideas, efficiency & competency as a benchmark for butchers. Following the competition, Meat & Livestock Australia will continue to upgrade butchersโ€™ skills and knowledge with specific training under the Aussie Meat Academy framework
