Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is once again ready to dazzle taste buds and delight diners with the return of its highly anticipated event: the second edition of #DinewithChef. This month-long dining celebration promises to be a culinary extravaganza set against the backdrop of the vibrant city centre.
DinewithChef is more than just a series of meals; it’s an opportunity to experience a culinary journey curated by the talented head chefs of Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur (Chef Grzegorz Odolak), Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur (Executive Chef Stig Drageide and Executive Pastry Chef Holger Deh), and Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur (Executive Chef Vincenzo Carbone).
This group of chefs will work alongside culinary mavens from Indonesia, Poland, Japan, and Malaysia to create a brand-new, never-before-seen festival of culinary exploration. Each dish is a masterpiece crafted with passion, creativity, and the finest ingredients, promising to tantalise even the most discerning palate.
Highlighting the many areas within the hotel, the 2024 #DinewithChef series will feature the semi-alfresco POOLHOUSE, the recently opened event space on Level 5 of Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, and popular restaurants THIRTY8 and JPteres.
