Follow your epicurean heart’s desire to four of Asia’s culinary capitals with The Ritz-Carlton this autumn
It’s no secret that food rates highly when it comes to travelling: we’ve been known to fly a few thousand miles just because we’ve scored seats at an a near-impossible-to-book restaurant, or we’ve heard that a favourite market or food stall of ours is shutting up shop and we simply must visit one last time.
If, like us, you’re forever in pursuit of memorable wining and dining experiences, then you will hardly need an excuse to hop on a flight for your next bite. Nonetheless, The Ritz-Carlton is taking culinary tourism to new heady heights, and serving up temptations aplenty with the hotel’s latest initiative—the Stellar Dining Series by The Ritz-Carlton.
The exclusive month-long culinary journey will see six of the Ritz-Carlton’s most distinguished chefs guide food lovers through unique gourmet experiences in four iconic dining destinations: Singapore; Osaka; Hong Kong; and Beijing. On each stop of the tour, these six chefs will be presenting their own individual signature cuisines, as well as collaborating with each other to create new exclusive dishes in a series of special dining events. For the extra-dedicated gourmands, the programme also includes expert-led masterclasses and workshops focusing on chocolate and cocktails.
Each of the chefs head up six highly-acclaimed restaurants in the region, and register seven Michelin stars between them in The Ritz-Carlton’s properties in Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Singapore. The Stellar Dining Series serves as a platform for these illustrious chefs to share ideas and techniques, to take inspiration from each other as well as from the host cities to elevate their craft and create memorable luxury dining experiences for their guests. This exchange of ideas, combined with the chefs’ inherent passion and expertise is at the heart of The Ritz-Carlton’s approach to hospitality, and is a true celebration of their star team’s creativity, know-how and exceptional service.
