W Doha Hotel & Residences has promoted its resident sous chef, Chamil Balasuriya to the role of Chef de Cuisine at Market by Jean Georges.

Armed with 15 years’ experience as an accomplished chef, Chamil has worked across leading hotels and resorts.

Post the completion of his Diploma in International Cookery at the Asia-Lanka Hotel School, Sri Lanka, Chamil got his first major break at Kandalama Hotel Dambulla, Srilanka, before moving to the UAE a year later to join Airport Hotel (Millennium Hotel).

Since then, Chamil has worked across Sheraton Jumeirah Beach Resort & Tower, and Shangri-la Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa – Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, before joining W Doha as a part of the preopening team as a sous chef.

During the last decade, he has earned valuable experience along with a number of reputable accolades.

In his new role, Chamil will focus on training the team, as well as improvising operational standards. He will also ensure that the restaurant continues to maintain its reputation of delighting the sophisticated palates of cosmopolitan gourmands, and cater to the local audience while reducing the carbon footprint. – TradeArabia News Service
