An armed police brigade in Shenzhen held a cooking contest Wednesday, bringing together chefs from the Shenzhen Military Supply Station and the armed police brigade. The contest was to bolster logistical support capabilities and guarantee that armed police officers are provided with nourishing meals to sustain their combat readiness in the field. A panel of seven experts from both military and civilian backgrounds served as judges, while over 100 armed police officers were present to observe the culinary creations, sample the dishes and assign scores based on the dishes’ taste and presentation.
