Chef Malek El Safadi is probably one of the best new additions to the
New World Hotel in Makati City. Having been the general head chef and nutrition consultant of no less than the The Royal Family, The King Of Saudi Arabia, for 5 years back in 1989-1994, then executive chef of different hotels after, Chef Malek has brought his knowledge and expertise to create a successful authentic Lebanese or Middle Eastern Mediterranean cuisine to New World Hotel's M2M Cafe buffet and ala carte menus.
I was able to try out New World Hotel's Halal Certified Middle Eastern Mediterranean Menu last week. Chef Malek specially cooked up a menu for us that night complete from soup, salads, cold appetizers, hot appetizers, main course, and dessert. It was a relatively new eating experience for me because I was not very familiar with Lebanese Cuisine, but nonetheless, it was a great foodgasmic experience.
