In this instance, one senior and two junior U.S. Navy chefs will learn how to prepare exquisite Australasian -- Aussie, Malaysian, Indian, Fusion -- food and present to Acacia's guests. The U.S. chefs will also have the opportunity to purchase Chinese, Indian and Malaysian spices from Northbridge and bring their newly discovered recipes back to the submarine for the crew to taste. U.S. 7th Fleet Representative CDR Rich Tilghman said "this is a great program that started right here in Perth, Western Australia and has spread throughout the world. This is a win-win program for both local restaurants and hotels and the U.S. Navy."
