An Inconvenient Truth

We recently welcomed a production team from Australia, Forte Communications. The team were here from 15-20 May to do a filming for an international television series called “Chefs of The Great Hotels of the World”.

“Chefs of The Great Hotels of The World” is a popular television series on travel and food and featured the great chefs from the best 5-star hotels around the world. Brunei will be featured in for 30 minutes onto this travel and food guide TV series. Other hotels that have participated previously were Le Meurice Hotel - Paris, Savoy Hotel - London, Adlon Hotel – Berlin, Hotel Corvinus Kempinski – Budapest, Ritz-Carlton Hotel – San Francisco, Raffles Hotel – Singapore, Taj Resort – Mauritius and more. With the estimation of the ultimate total global audience in excess of 100 million viewers per episode, the series has been seen on television broadcast throughout the world including USA, Europe, Japan, Meddle East, Australia and Asia.

They spent two days filming on 'behind the scene' at the back of house of the hotel activities with first hand experience on daily meals preparation together with an exclusive interview with the Hotel’s Executive Chef, Thomas Walter where he shared his passion of cooking. (hehe... i loves the word 'passion' here)

Mr. Brown from Forte Communications also saying that although Brunei is a small country there are a lot of interesting things and places that can be offered, he is truly amazed with the friendliness of the local people. ** I agreed with this! so proud to be a Bruneian :) **
