Professional butchery is not just about cutting meat, it also showcases the butcherโs skill in deboning, breaking down primals into an assortment of cuts like grill or pan steaks ๐ฅฉ, stir fry strips ๐ฅ, cubes, yakiniku, shabu-shabu ๐ฒ, sukiyaki ๐ฅ, burgers ๐ & sausage ๐ญ making, marination & value-adding ๐๐คค
Retail butchers would need to present & display meat attractively in the meat chiller counters, applying price tag ๐ท๏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 ๐จ 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 ๐ง๐ปโ๐ณ๐ช The goal is to ensure the meat is cut & prepared for the chefs to cook to precision, tenderness & customersโ satisfaction ๐๐ป
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 2023โโ๏ธ What have you observeโโ๏ธย
This competition encouraged plus set a benchmark & ๐ 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 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 ๐ธ๐ฌ are constantly sourcing for skilled butchersย
There are 24 participants from Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ, Singapore ๐ธ๐ฌ, Taiwan ๐น๐ผ & Vietnam ๐ป๐ณ in the competition, all of whom have at least 1๏ธโฃ 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 ๐ฅฉ๐ฅ & 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 ๐ฝ๏ธ๐
From this media attendance, SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป๐ has observed how each of the participants carefully prepared their tools, especially knife ๐ช to cut & set up including display tools for this challenge at the hall prior to the exact challenge timing โฑ๏ธ
The competition was in 4๏ธโฃ sessions over 2๏ธโฃ days, with the winners disclosed on 22 Sept ie. The last day of FHM 2023 during the FHM Closing dinner ๐ฝ๏ธ
The butchery champion Liao Ci-Hong of Yun Chang Beef Restaurant, Taiwan received RM3๏ธโฃK & a trophy ๐
The 1๏ธโฃst runner-up Lai Chih Lun ofย Gourmetโs Partner, Taiwan won RM2๏ธโฃK & a trophy ๐
The 2๏ธโฃnd runner-up Mohd Zamri Bin Mohd Ramli of TFP Retail Sdn Bhd, Malaysia received RM1๏ธโฃK and a trophy ๐
โThe competition is to promote butchery as a profession,โ said Rose Yong, Malaysia Country Representative, Meat & Livestock Australia. โItโs 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.โย
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

So, what has changed in the New ๐ JOHNSONโSยฎ ๐โโ๏ธ
Purposeful ingredient choice ~~ JOHNSONโSยฎ ๐ carefully considered every single ingredient in the range, rejecting over 400 ingredients during the reformulation. Ingredients portfolio have been reduced by over 50%, with naturally-derived oils like coconut ๐ด๐ฅฅ & cottonseed replacing ingredients like mineral oil.

2 Parabens, phthalates & sulfates are not added to all the New ๐ JOHNSONโSยฎ๐ range of products. Dyes are not used in all products except for JOHNSONโSยฎ๐ Active Kidsโข Clean & Fresh Bath
Fragrances designed with mom ๐ฉโ๐ฆ๐ฉโ๐ง๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ง & baby ๐ถ๐ป in mind ~~ Smell, memory & emotion are intimately connected, with decades of research showing that multi-sensory experiences are a key part of happy ๐ , healthy baby ๐ถ๐ป development.

To help Malaysian mothers ๐ฒ๐พ๐ฉโ๐ฆ๐ฉโ๐ง๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ง understand why newborns ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ป & toddlers need gentle skin care, Datuk Dr. Zulkifli Ismail ๐จ๐ฝโโ๏ธ, Consultant Paediatrician & Secretary General of the Asia Pacific ๐ Pediatric Association lends his presence at the New ๐ JOHNSONโSยฎ ๐ launch to answer some FAQโโfrom moms ๐ฉโ๐ฆ๐ฉโ๐ง๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ง Datuk Dr. Zulkifli ๐จ๐ฝโโ๏ธexplained that infantsโ ๐ถ๐ป skin is under-developed & is therefore delicate and requires gentle cleansing & care. โA newbornโs ๐ถ๐ป epidermis or the outermost layer of skin is 30% thinner than adultsโ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ,โ Dr said ๐จ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
โBabyโs ๐ถ๐ป thinner skin means it cannot absorb & retain moisture in the skin & is prone to moisture evaporation & dry skin,โ Dr continued ๐จ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
With baby ๐ถ๐ป skin already vulnerable to losing moisture, strong cleansers will only disrupt the skin barrier even more, causing further dehydration e.g. parents ๐ช๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ง need to select โ gentle cleansers that do not disrupt babyโs ๐ถ๐ป delicate skin & keep the skin barrier hydrated & in healthy condition with moisturizing ๐
