We are all here for a F&B family photo.

Photo taken on our roof garden on the 9th floor of the Howard Johnson ITC Plaza Chongqing. This is the key people, chefs & managers from B2 level to A1 level. The most important of the 208 associates of the F&B department.

Here only the western kitchen team a few days before the grand opening. We have got the red bags given by our Hong Kong Investors.....everybody is so happy !

In China, what we look first on the buffet ?
How many hot dishes, how many kinds of seafood and dessert.

It's sometimes difficult to get a nice selection of fresh seafood for the middle size city. They are far away from the coast and the cost is high. Not only high but simply very hard to find.

Anyway we have to guarantee a minimum to our customer, using half fresh and half frozen in a reasonale cost.

During the pre-opening time, we had quite a lot of team building.

In Chongqing, the best place for a dinner with associates if you want the dinner to be long with beers and make everyone happy is the hot pot.
F&B had team building every week with others department or internal within the different sections, such as Chinese restaurant, western kitchen, stewarding......

Christmas French Style must be with Foie Gras, buche de noel, oyster....

Here I take pleasure to cook it by himself for the 3 days we did christmas.
