Ho Tram Project Company Brings Macau's Finest to Koto

On July 29 in Ha Noi, Ho Tram Project Company, in partnership with MGM MIRAGE, has brought two of Macau's leading chefs to Hanoi to lead a training program for culinary students from underprivileged backgrounds at Hanoi's Know One Teach One (KOTO) training facility in West Lake.

 

Mr. David Subotic, General Director of Ho Tram Project Company said: “Building one of the largest hospitality developments in the history of Vietnam, we have a responsibility toward the development of the talent pool, and as active corporate citizens, nothing excites us more than to be able to contribute to the Vietnamese community.”

 

Two chefs from MGM GRAND Macau - French chef Antoine Perray and Vietnamese Chef Dao Thi Hong Trang led the training session in French cuisine over the course of two days, from 7 to 8 July 2009 at the KOTO Vocational Training Center.

 

“When KOTO was established, we set the ambitious goal of turning at-risk kids into hospitality professionals of an international standard and this depends on world class training for our students; but we also wanted to change the perceptions about street kids," said Jimmy Pham, KOTO Founder & CEO.  "The Ho Tram Strip and MGM MIRAGE teams understand and support this goal, and we greatly appreciate the time that the two chefs have volunteered this week to share their knowledge and experience with our students."

 

MGM MIRAGE is one of the world’s leading and most respected companies with significant holdings in gaming, hospitality and entertainment, including the award-winning MGM GRAND Macau, a joint venture with Pansy Ho. MGM MIRAGE is bringing its expertise and international brand strength to Vietnam’s Ho Tram Strip as the operator of the first of five luxury integrated resorts to be built by Ho Tram Project Company- the MGM Grand Ho Tram.
