In the Makro competition Chef Alaa’s delicious creation featured salmon tartar, pan-fried escalope and anchovy with mango salad and a butter sauce. The main dish was a gorgeous feast of chicken breast stuffed with goat cheese, plus sweet potatoes, sautéed vegetables and shiitake mushroom sauce. The judges awarded Chef Alaa a commemorative shield and certificate from Makro.

In the Al Wataniya Chicken Dish competition, Chef Alaa took inspiration on more of the delectable treats from the Filini menu to create ‘Trio Chicken’. This features three different presentations of chicken, served with three flavours of risotto, sautéed vegetables and shiitake mushroom sauce.
