Led by the highly-acclaimed Lebanon born Executive Chef Zuheir El Dika, the 2018 AMVCA menu looks pretty impressive. Though it's a fingermeal, Chef Ziheir promised nothing but excellence in all his dishes, you'd swear he's planning a four course meal.
The France-trained chef, who's worked in Dubai and Lebanon and currently responsible for the 11 restaurants at the Eko Hotels & Suites plus over 300 staff wasnt moved by the large AMVCA as to him, this is business as usual.
However, he insisted on 5 principles that always make for an awesome experience;
1. Quality of the product
2. Hygiene in the kitchen and personal
3. Efficiency from chef to waiters
4. Positive staff attitude
5. Love for the job - "that's the staff I work with at such big events".
"I picked a team that will interact with the AMVCA guests with love, not just because it's a job" - Chef Zuheir.
Chef Zuheir then took us through the numbers and this is what transpired:
- 2000 skewers
- 300 kg chicken fillets
- 300 kg beef fillets
- 120 kg chicken wings
- 800 kg mixed local vegetables
- Over 1500 litres of drinks
We can confirm that the menu looks really palatable and we can't wait to DIG IN! To quote the good chef; "Anyone can cook, but not everyone can be a chef".
