After sitting many times opposite at Butchery Shop & Grill, it was again time to visit the neighbour,Chop Chop Teahouse & Restaurant.
Nice view from the ski piste and nice easy food with excellent tea’s,
mostly i go for their Nasi Goreng,which is excellent executed the way i know already for years.
Nice vegetable fried rice with shrimp,fried egg on top,”kroepoek” some sticks of sateh and of course peanut sauce!
Would it be back home (Netherlands) then expect some warm ham and some sour pickles and of course “Atjar” a pickled cabbage.
Enjoy and regards Sebastiaan

My friend,inspiration, and definitive the best pastry chef i ever had the chance to work along side with,master pastry chef Gianluca Fusto.
I met chef Gianluca 2 years ago when he was Executive pastry chef Mediterian area for Valrhona.
He really over whelmed me with new techniques, flavor combinations and a absolute unique style which is extremely clean and elegant.
I really enjoyed so much working with chef Gianluca Fusto,and i still benefit from the chance i had to work along side with him.
Now a days chef Gianluca started his own consultancy company which provide technical assistance for pastry all over the world and in many different forms,such as restaurant,hotel, pastry shops ,chocolaterie etc.
As you can see in the photos below and above it’s a absolute joy see his creations!!
Best regards Sebastiaan

Every year on 2nd of December,we celebrate UAE National Day,a huge fest were all the flags got hanged out,lights got lid and even prisoners got released!!
For this event we prepare every year a “date cake” which get placed in every room for our guests.
A very moist cake made with dates,prunes,dried pineapple,cashew nuts,brown sugar etc.
Dates of course we use because of the huge popularity here in the Middle East and the Arabic people see the date as a “gift of god”.
After the date cake is baked we glaze it with caramel and decorate it with,prunes,dates,dried mango/pineapple,gold leaf and a small chocolate plate with the UAE flag.
Best regards Sebastiaan

Many times i visit this great top notch hotel nearby Emirates Mall.
A beautiful entree with golden horses waiting for you while you drive up the lane of the hotel.
Spectaculaire fountain in front of the lobby and a beautifull view over the water wadi’s and DAM villa’s.
Absolute recommended for a stunning night out or a overnight stay.
Enjoy and regards Seabstiaan
