Bahrain This Month - March 2014

132 March 2014 www.bahrainthismonth.com diningf&bhappenings GOLDEN TULIP HOTEL New Tastes Kent Brothwell came from a family who were in the restaurant business; so it was a natural choice to follow their path. Since he was selected by chef Anton Mosiman at the Dorchester in London to do his apprenticeship at the age of 16, he has lived and worked as a chef in more than 30 countries “I am now in my 38th year in the hotel industry, with the last 18 as executive chef. I’m still learning new things every day. I have been fortunate enough to work with some great chefs like Billy Gallagher and Marco Pierre White,” Kent says. Although he enjoys cooking fusion dishes, this executive chef feels at home with most cuisines. Having been in the Middle East for many years, he has specialised in Mediterranean fare. “At the moment, we are upgrading our seafood night and introducing an Arabic evening. Utilising my years of experience, I would like to make the Friday brunch and other theme nights more enjoyable for my guests,” he notes. The Golden Tulip Hotel has been a landmark in Bahrain for many years. Kent plans to expand its reach by opening a Korean restaurant and steak house in the hotel in addition to a patisserie. “In a competitive market such as Bahrain’s, you must strive to be different. With the introduction of different themes, we aim to please clients with a great dining experience,” he notes. As in most parts of the world, people in Bahrain want fresh healthy food. You can expect to see this presented in a different way as well. E Call 17 535-000. This five-star hotel has a new chef to lead its kitchen brigade. We find out what changes the menu will see in the coming month.
