Growing up in Amman, the capital of Jordan, Ameer finished high school and soon enrolled at the Swiss International Management Institute in Kuala Lumpur to become a professional chef.
Once he was qualified he joined the Four Seasons as a management trainee in Kuala Lumpur (where he finished his City and Guild diploma in Kitchen Management ) before moving to the Maldives.
During his management training with the Four Seasons, Ameer was a part of a group doing task force management in East Asia, and visited Shanghai, Indonesia, and most of East Asia as a part of that.
He also worked for hotel chains Iberotel in Egypt and Kempinski in Jordan. Now the Mövenpick Resort & Spa Karon Beach Phuket’s Executive Chef, Ameer is in charge of six restaurants and 80 staff across the resort.
His food at Mövenpick is “modern, with a surprise touch” and says a chef must be able to cook every type of cuisine in order to satisfy resort guests from around the world.
And he certainly created a delicious meal when The Phuket News visited – the mixed grill with red wine jus, with the meat cooked perfectly.
