KITCHEN HERO OF THE YEAR:
Chamara Segera, Iberotel Miramar Al Aqah, Fujairah
Chamara Segera, commi one, at the Butchery, Iberotel Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort beat off extremely tough competition to win the coveted Kitchen Hero of the Year Award, which is designed to recognise the ‘unsung hero’ of the kitchen.
He shone out to the judging panel for the professionalism and innovation he has shown far beyond expectation. Against all the odds, Segera has continually progressed, has stepped in to work countless hours of overtime; and learned as much as possible to support his seniors.

On receiving his trophy from award sponsor Gavin Dodd, managing director of A.Ronai, Segera said he “didn’t have the words” to describe how delighted he was.
“I cannot believe it,” he said. “This is the best of the best.”
Segara was nominated by Miramar Al Aqah’s executive chef K.A.C. Prasad, who says Segera is the perfect kitchen hero for his “dedication, honesty, willingness to learn and attitude”.
“He takes any training and advice seriously and he implements it in his best possible way,” explained Prasad, who is confident that Segera will achieve his dream position of sous chef within the next eight to 10 years.
