Kurumba Maldives Welcomes Chef Andre Chiang For A Unique Culinary Event

Renowned Chef Andre Chiang from the famed Restaurant Andre in Singapore will be visiting Kurumba Maldives to offer an exclusive menu, as part of his World Octaphilosophy Tour, from 14th to 16th August 2016, at the waterside Thila restaurant.

Chef Andre was born in Taiwan and trained in Michelin starred restaurants across France, before settling in Singapore. Restaurant Andre closes every time Chef Andre travels, in order to be part of every experience of his current “World Octaphilosophy Tour”.

The concept of Chef Andre’s Octaphilosophy revolves around a multi-course cuisine, with no starters or main courses; all dishes are regarded as equally important. Each finds its ultimate expression in the dining experience, which is centered on eight elements of gastronomy that inspire Chef Andre Chiang: salt, texture, memory, pure, terroir, south, artisan and unique. Dishes are highly seasonal with a Southern-French influence and combined with the technical precision of the Asian gastronomy.

Glen Cooper, Executive Chef of Kurumba Maldives stated: “Kurumba Maldives is very excited to welcome Chef Andre Chiang and his team for this truly innovative and unique experience. Aside from the variety of restaurants available in our resort, we always look at special and memorable collaborations that result in something simply amazing and out of the ordinary for our guests.”

Restaurant Andre’s most recent accolades include:

• Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2016 – Restaurant ANDRE #3 Best Restaurant in Singapore
• World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2016 – Restaurant ANDRE #32

This unique culinary event will consist of a dinner on 14th and 15th August, as well as a cooking demonstration on 16th August. Limited space is available.
