There are starters, soups, a selection of main courses, and desserts – from all corners of the globe – and a variety of drinks that harness ingredients, tastes, textures from many different sources.
Now that I own A Perennial Feast, I will find time to ‘travel’ and cook in the comfort of my own home. I don’t often cook but it’ll be a challenge to try a recent favourite, Steamed Fillet of Saltwater Barramundi served with bird’s eye chili, roasted baby eggplant and pumpkin sauce, that I got to taste after the launching of the book.
Simply delicious! Takes me right away to Fisherman’s Cove, overlooking the sea front of Pangkor Laut Resort. OK, I have never been to this resort but at least this cuisine takes me there.
Here are more photos from my international culinary journey through a four-course artful dinner at the private Third Floor Gallery located at JW Marriot Kuala Lumpur. Led by Chef Wai, chefs from various restaurants of YTL Hotels came together to prepare the dinner.
