Dinner At Datai

After a US$60 million, 12-month refurbishment, the Datai is set to re-open its doors on the Malaysian resort island of Langkawi.

As part of its grand opening, it's planning a show-stopping dining event with the iconic cooking duo of Michel and Se´bastien Bras from the restaurant Le Suquet in Laguiole, France, as well as Toya in Hokkaido, Japan. Le Suquet has held on to its three Michelin stars for 19 years, while the two-starred Toya marries the cuisine of their hometown of Aubrac with the produce of Hokkaido. They will host an eight-course cocktail dinner on Dec 19 and 20, featuring signature dishes such as Gargouille, a back-to-nature inspired medley of vegetables, root purées and edible plants, and L'Aligot - decadent creamy mashed potato whipped with cheese and infused with truffle. After all that food, retire to your luxurious villa set within natural rainforest for a fitting end to this luxurious getaway.

The Chef Series Dinner is priced at around RM860 (S$284) for the dinner and RM345 for the wine pairing. For more details go to www.thedatai.com
