It was surprising us, which such this program also get an attention from another student from another courses. Four of hospitality students come and participate into INTAFF Society program to cherish the event and also applied their skill after they learn a lot of theories in cooking.

With the theme: pasta, all participates should cook and create a creative dish that related with the pasta. We can observe that they are really enjoyed in cooking and they pointed their skills in cooking.
