They all got to know the present items on the kitchen spot. <\/p>\n<p>The jury tasted each chef\u2019s dishes on Saturday and announced on Sunday that Mr. Sindayigaya Ramadhan had emerged the best chef.<\/p>\n<p>Chef Rama as he is widely known had also won the second prize at the same competition in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with IGIHE prior to the competition, Sindayigaya, who usually specialises in Italian cuisine at the Marriott\u2019s Cucina Restaurant, had expressed confidence to win the competition adding that besides the appreciation accorded to the winner, the competition also helps them showcase their abilities and build up their fame.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThis competition puts us in touch with other chefs from different countries to share skills as we learn from one another. It also markets us broadly because it attracts many people,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Gorilla Highlands Managing Director, Miha Logar, said the competition which had come to Rwanda for the first time intends to bring together chefs and other tourism practitioners in the three countries in order to build up synergies and develop the industry. <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Logar said much as every country has its specific activities in tourism, they all share gorilla population, therefore bringing together DRC, Rwanda and Uganda will showcase the region\u2019s tourism potentials and attract many visitors.<\/p>\n<p> All other chefs were recognised with certificates of participation. Those include Mukungu Akimu from Grand Legacy Hotel in Kigali and Jean Bosco Birindwa from Ihusi Hotel in Goma, DRC, who were recognised as the best Ugandan and Congolese chefs respectively.
