Tatler Dining presents the second instalment of popular food festival Off Menu with a brand new line-up of chefs
From November 5-6, Tatler Dining Malaysia is bringing together 12 of the country's top chefs under one roof to showcase their culinary chops for the second installation of Off Menu Kuala Lumpur at Pavilion Hotel Kuala Lumpur, Managed by Banyan Tree.
The chefs have been paired up to learn and take notes from each other’s cuisines to create one dish each. Each team of chefs will develop dishes the public has never seen before. Something off menu.

The pairs will work together to invent dishes that fuse cuisines, techniques, and flavour profiles. At Off Menu, you’ll get a taste of Italian-inspired Japanese sushi, modern Malaysian vegetarian bites, bespoke pastries and desserts, and more.
“It’s the only time I’d get to cook with another 11 chefs, so I just want to have as much fun as possible!” says Chef Daniel Yap of Gooddam.
Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks will be available throughout the weekend, so you’ll have something to pair with your bites at the event.
