Topped with custard, orange slices and full grapes, and filled with noodles amongst other ingredients, Mr. Jayarathne’s highly creative concoction won him a Rs. 10,000 cash prize and an in-store voucher for Rs. 5,000, whilst also earning him with the honour of being the first dish to be awarded in this year-long competition. According to organisers, the competition will also feature a grand finale, at the end of the year, wherein the grand prize will be two air tickets to Thailand, for a two night stay on full board basis.
As such, one entry per month will also be shortlisted to participate in this Creative Cooks cook-off grand finale. Receiving over a 100 entries for the first quarter’s competition alone, the Creative Cooks contest has the sole criterion that entries utilise ingredients showcased within the 2013 Perera and Sons calendar, to prepare a unique dish consisting of a base, a filling and a garnish. According to a statement by organisers, dishes are judged based on the “uniqueness of the dish, taste, appearance, originality, personal appearance and hygiene”.
