The Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates welcomes a brand new executive chef at the helm of its constantly evolving F&B operation. With the formidable experience of a 20-year career in the culinary world – six of which have been spent as part of the Kempinski group in properties across the Middle East – Chef Sudqi Naddaf exemplifies the high calibre of talent that makes up Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates’ multi-award winning team.
Named the Champion for Middle East and Africa for “Kempinski The Spa Cuisine” and a popular TV celebrity back home in Jordan – where he hosted and dispensed cooking tips on the call-in cooking show ‘Baity’, Chef Naddaf is a well-recognised authority in his field. His TV background and broad understanding of the F&B landscape also makes him a savvy marketer and he has been responsible for putting properties on the culinary map with high-profile stunts such as creating the highest cake – a 65-tier creation baked to celebrate Jordan’s 65th National Day – displayed in the lobby of Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea.
