From november 20th to december 3rd, I realised an italian promotion at the grand-view cafe, the revolving restaurant of the Ramada Tianlu Plaza on the 28th floor.

Wuhan is a sensible market and not totally open to the western mind. When the local customers are coming to our restaurant they are expecting to find more local food in a good quality with nice presentation and welcoming atmosphere. For that reason, we had to keep 50% of chinese local food, otherwise our client won't undestand that we are doing a promotion and won't really enjoy the western food.The traveller people knows for sure what is a good pizza, a tomato mozzarella salad and a beef carpaccio. But for more local people, the pizza should be as thick as the "pizza hut" one, the spaghettis will be fried with peanut oil, balck pepper crashed, garlic and sliced beef. Don't talk about gorgonzola or salami....you will let them leave right away !

Anyway we did good and sufficient to satisfy local mouthes and experienced foreigners in house guests.


For attract the people to the show kitchen and catch their eyes, we made fresh pasta. I designed a "pasta tree" .Thank you to Bruno, french trainee to help me in this matter.
