Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta has always been one of AnakJajan favorite hotel in Jakarta. If you read our last blog post about Afternoon High Tea at Lobby Lounge – Shangri-La Jakarta you might know why we love it so much.
Since we have fallen in love with Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta, we immediately said yes when we received an invitation to spend a sweet afternoon at Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta. The sweet afternoon activity include cooking demo by Chef Frederic Scailteur and afternoon tea at Lobby Lounge (my favorite!!).
AnakJajan met Chef Frederic Scailteur, he is the new Executive Pastry Chef at Shangri-La Hotel.
Chef Frederic Scailteur has become a pastry chef since the age of 15. He has travelled and worked all around the world as executive pastry chef and executive pastry director.

As mentioned earlier, AnakJajan love the food and ambiance at Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta, but there is one more thing that we love, we love to see the team work, solidarity and familial atmosphere of the Shangri-La team. Everyone had so much fun and a great time both participants and Shangri-La team that day.
