 As part of the cultural exchange, activities scheduled for their week-long visit, the students of the Republic of China Taiwan participated in a culinary showcase at Mani's Bakery on Monday, September 4. National culinary champion Louis Cichien, who represented Taiwan at the World Skills Competition in the area of bread-making, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to interact with local bakers in St. Lucia, as well as to enhance his culinary skills. Because St. Lucia is really far from Taiwan, so there are different ingredients and knowledge in the bread-making here, so he wants to come in here and he wants to know more about the culture, the food and the cuisine outside of Taiwan, and he wants to know how to make the ingredients and how they use them, so that he can enhance his knowledge and skills and to interact with locals. Secretary of the Embassy of the Republic of China Taiwan, L. C. Tsai, announced that throughout the week, the students will engage in activities which will demonstrate their skills and areas of expertise to the youth of St. Lucia. Today, they have the 40 undergraduate and graduate students come into St. Lucia for one-week visit, and they will do a lot of cultural exchange and summer camp and also the bakery workshop, as you can see right now. But for this year, what's special is that they have four culinary champions coming to St. Lucia. This is the very first time. So now we are introducing them to open up a bakery workshop, two bakery workshops actually. Today in Monday and also on Wednesday, they will have the three-hour bakery workshop to the local bakers to teach them how to make the new items like the earl grey bagel or the mango cheese bagel, I think, and also the pastries, the chicken patties. So they were going to bring the new experience and also the new items to the local bakers and also to interact and learn some skills from them. So that's a cultural exchange and also a culinary exchange they are making here. She added that the group of 40 students will be displaying Taiwan cuisine at the St. Lucia Community College and the farmers' markets later this week.
