What was your background and journey of growth?
I always dream of becoming a chef in order to enjoy different cuisines and style of food. Before I decided to pursue a culinary career, I attended a management school. I realised my passion for cooking was getting stronger thus I moved to Bali, Indonesia to attend the culinary school. I did my internship with Bulgari Hotel and Resort Bali under Chef Andrew Skinner and Maurizio Bombini and then I was hired as a Chef in Bulgari Hotel ( Il Ristorante) under Chef Nicola Russo, Fabrizio Crocetta and Luca Fantin. I won some awards under the Bulgari Umbrella (Silver Medal in Salon Culinaire 2014, 1st Winner of Hello Bali 2015, 2 Gold Medals in Salon Culinaire 2016). Then in December 2017-March 2018, I went to W Maldives for a task force. In 2020, I feel the need to move back to Bali and started working in Flock, in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.
Why did you choose to use Pâtissier Chocolate?
I feel like Pâtissier Chocolate's range is very suitable for my and restaurant needs. It covers a huge range of variety and suits my style and my taste profile on dishes that i created. It has a balanced flavor and of very good quality overall.

What is your inspiration behind creating the above recipe?
I dreamt of being a pastry chef but i decided to join a fine dining kitchen instead. As i really enjoyed eating sweets and my favourite is choux/profiteroles! Choux can impress a lot of people (including me) when it is done right. For this recipe, I gave my own rendition of choux with crunchy croquelin with light yet flavourful filling, topped with liquid chocolate .
