Tuaran: A dozen people took part in the Quail-based Cooking and Processing Technical Course organised, here, recently.
The course was organised by the President of the Sabah Entrepreneurs Association, Dayang @ Jessie binti Ambukon, who is also a local entrepreneur at the Tuaran Farmbay premise.
The two-day programme was also attended by participants from neighbouring country Brunei with special appearance by Chef Zaha Iron Butcher.
Among the content of the course are “How to cut Quail and Duck” and “Quail Deboning”.
The menus included Quail Chrispy, Quail Soup, Quail Spaghetti and Spicy Quail Fried Rice, among others.
Jessie is the recipient of the Sabah Industrial Excellence Award (Akis) for 2020/2021. She is also one of the recipients of the Salted Egg Category High Achievers 2016.
She hopes the course can produce more skilled workers in meeting the demands of the livestock industry in Sabah and at the same time hopes the Farmbay product brand can be more widespread.
Also present was Research Officer and Head of the Monogastric Unit of the Sabah Veterinary Services Department, Kennedy Juani.
“I hope this course can help further expand Farmbay’s products and brands not only in Malaysia but can even be exported abroad,” he said.
“On behalf of the Veterinary Services Department, very much welcome industry players to be active and involve themselves in such initiatives.
“We will try our best to help and provide good inputs for the purpose of improvement,” he said.
Farmbay, a local brand famous for their salted egg and quail products, is now in the process of producing food-based products.
Jessi answered when asked, “Farmbay is currently in the process of preparing to launch our new products.
“I hope that with our menus we can provide different choices to consumers, especially food lovers not only in Sabah but throughout Malaysia in general.”
