To continue to build awareness of the culinary experience offered at the properties, the Divi & Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusives hosted an exclusive, one-night-only dinner on Saturday, June 9 at Fusion Restaurant Wine & Piano Bar featuring a menu created by celebrity Chef Tiffani Faison.
“It was an honor to welcome Chef Tiffani to our properties to host this special cooking demonstration dinner for our guests,” commented Alex Nieuwmeyer, Managing Director of Divi Resorts Aruba. “The night was a great success as we had a sold out crowd that was comprised of our guests and local Arubaians. When you combine cuisine and music, it only makes our events more positive. You could feel people’s energy throughout the crowd when they were engaging with Chef Tiffani and the Pasta e Basta of Amsterdam musical performances. We look forward to hosting more events like this in the future.”
The dinner featured a prix-fixe menu created by Chef Tiffani. The four-course menu consisted of a Thai Tomato Salad, Lobster Curry, Shaking Beef and Whipped Coconut Cheesecake. For each course, Chef Tiffani presented a live cooking demonstration on stage on how each dish was prepared and cooked. While each course was served to the guests, Pasta e Basta singers performed hit songs for the crowd that included Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars, ABC & I’ll Be There by the Jackson Five, Royals by Lorde and This Time I want It All by John Legend. Pasta e Basta is a very popular restaurant in Amsterdam specializing in fine Italian cuisine and incredible performances by passionate wait staff who sing everything from opera to classics and current songs.
