  • Tunisian Hospitality Leader Earns Global Recognition

     

    Celebrating Excellence: Sami Ben Mohamed Zid Awarded Executive Diploma in Restaurant Management

    The World Association of Master Chefs (WAMC), in collaboration with the Hospitality and Tourism Industry Accreditation Authority (HATIA), is proud to spotlight Sami Ben Mohamed Zid, a highly respected Food & Beverage professional from Tunisia, who has been awarded the Executive Diploma in Restaurant Management as part of the WAMC Global Classroom Initiative.

    Sami is currently the Food & Beverage Manager at the prestigious Hôtel Méhari Hammamet Thalasso & Spa – Golden Yasmin, where he has dedicated 24 years of service, contributing to the excellence and elegance of one of Tunisia’s premier hospitality venues. With more than 28 years of experience in the restaurant industry, Sami represents the very best of commitment, leadership, and professional integrity in hospitality.

    About HATIA

    The Hospitality and Tourism Industry Accreditation Authority (HATIA) is a global accreditation body formed to recognise, validate, and enhance the skills and experience of professionals working in the hospitality and tourism sectors. Developed through an exclusive partnership with the World Association of Master Chefs, HATIA provides structured pathways for individuals to achieve formal qualifications based on their real-world experience, professional development, and contributions to the industry.

    HATIA plays a key role in raising standards across the industry by offering:

    • Executive-level qualifications and diplomas based on evidence of competency.

    • A framework for skills development, training recognition, and career progression.

    • Access to professional benchmarking, ensuring global relevance and prestige.

    • Support for lifelong learners who have gained skills through hands-on experience rather than traditional academic routes.

    Through initiatives like the Global Classroom, HATIA and WAMC together are transforming how professional excellence is recognised – providing experienced chefs, restaurateurs, and managers a formal pathway to be acknowledged for their invaluable contributions.

    This new qualification program recognises the wealth of experience professionals like Sami bring to the industry. The Executive Diploma in Restaurant Management provides global recognition for seasoned individuals who have built their careers through years of hands-on leadership, dedication, and skill development.

    When asked about what drew him to a career in restaurant management, Sami said:

    “I entered the restaurant industry in 1997 and have worked my way up from clerk to restaurant manager with a lot of love and commitment, both moral and physical. It’s a dynamic job, full of creativity and human connection. I’ve grown through learning from great chefs and restaurateurs. The elegance of representing the face of the establishment is something I carry with pride – always with a smile.”

    On the value of education in hospitality, Sami added:

    “This industry offers exceptional opportunities worldwide. But it’s important to stay up to date – hospitality in the 1960s is not what it is in 2025, especially with AI and new technologies. Education improves skills and allows professionals to meet modern customer and management expectations.”

    To younger people entering the field, Sami offers wise and heartfelt advice:

    “Love the profession. Have self-confidence. Be patient. Surround yourself with good mentors. Never stop learning. Spend time with the best, stay close to training, and always stay present and curious.”

    Sami also acknowledged WAMC and its leadership, saying:

    “I know WAMC through your Vice President Evan Carlo. He has a great reputation in the culinary field and works with the Ministry of Tourism. I had the pleasure of participating with him in a culinary demonstration – he is very professional. I am really proud to be among you. Thank you very much, Mr. President.”

    We are honoured to have Sami as part of the WAMC community. His story exemplifies the purpose of the Global Classroom Initiative – to recognise and accredit excellence, experience, and lifelong dedication in hospitality and tourism. Congratulations, Sami, on this well-deserved recognition. Your journey is an inspiration to the next generation of leaders in our industry.

  • WAMC meets with HSL: A Fiery Delight in Malaysia

    On their recent trip to Malaysia, the WAMC Delegation WAMC had the distinct privilege of visiting HSL Foods, an identified future partner in manufacturing the WAMC branded range of sauces and pastes.

    HSL Food Malaysia has created the perfect solution to the rising demand for good, convenient and affordable foods. They are proud to offer our series of ready-to-use curry and sambal pastes and soup concentrates under the brand name Mama’s Delight to introduce the authentic flavors of Asia using spices and ingredients of the highest quality.

    Chairman Sunly Lo was in his element as a lover of chilies and the flavors of Asia, even getting a chance to get his hands in on mixing the chilies.

    Mr Koh Keng Kok the Owner and Managing Director gave the WAMC delegation a personal tour of the massive facilities where HSL produces its brands.  The facilities were well-developed and it was evident that everyone working for HSL had a passion and commitment to quality.

    The reason for the visit was to explore a working relationship with HSL to produce a range of sauces for WAMC under their own unique brand.  These sauces would encapsulate the flavors of certain areas of the world and be produced under license via companies such as HSL.

    The visit was made possible because of WAMC Senior Brand Advisor Master Chef Chin Chee Sing (Chef Sun).  His experience, knowledge, and skill in knowing who is at the forefront of product manufacturing meant that WAMC was meeting the best possible company for their sauces project.

    “HSL has the capacity to research, develop and deliver a quality product that meets the client’s expectations each and every time.  It is their professional approach to manufacturing that has led WAMC to this point in the hopes of forming a working relationship with them. ” Mr Ferguson said as he tried to hold back tears for the chile oil being produced.

    After the visit to the HSL factory, all parties had the privilege of having lunch together at the newly opened Restaurant, inspired by the HSL brand.  Mr Kok wanted to create a branded restaurant using his sauces and pastes, giving people a flavor journey that excited the pallet and inspired the taste buds, and WAMC was not disappointed.  The food was exceptional and the flavors really brought home the importance of having the right taste and texture.
