"I hope to contribute my specialised regional know-how and culminating trends of the wines & spirits industry of my origin - Malaysia & South East Asia
My favourite part of the competition is the Asian food & wine pairing, the getting together of fellow wine professionals in the region to keep abreast of industry trends, and the lively "Test Your Palate" consumer wine tastings where we get to share our experience with everyone!
HKIWSC is the abundance of Asia's wine heart, reflective of its diverse nuance of culture, taste and appreciation. Truly Asia's premier international wine competition: Asia's choice, Asia's voice!"
