The Fine Art Of Flavours, Midsummer Nights Feast 2010 @ Starhill Gallery

I was invited to Starhill Gallery on behalf of FoodStreet once again for the press conference on Midsummer Nights Feast which will be held from 2 July till 9 July 2010. As stated in their press release, Starhill Gallery Midsummer Nights Feast is inspired by Group Managing Director of YTL Corporation, Tan Sri Dr Francis Yeoh CBE. It is an annual “Starhill Gallery experience” that brings together the art of good food and wine, paired with music and entertainment to create convivial, festive experience that celebrates life by engaging all the senses and the intellect. In its third year, Starhill Gallery Midsummer Nights Feast continues to excite the culinary scene with world class dining experiences under the leadership of YTL Corporate Executive Chef Kevin Cape together with Chef Johann Ong of Shook! Kuala Lumpur and Chef Jacqueline Qiugiong of Shook! Shanghai. A host of international celebrity chefs like Celebrity Chef John Burton-Race, Stephen Mercer (winner of the Australian Golden Chef's Hat Award) and Master Chef Massimo Martina will be flown in specially to Kuala Lumpur to showcase their signature dishes for the celebration of “The Fine Art of Flavours”.

There will also be fashion shows while you savour the finest in haute cuisines on the runways of Shook! and live performances by Najwa Mahiaddin and Syafinaz Selamat, delivering catchy rhythms to add on to the dining experience. During the 8 day Midsummers Nights Feast, specially created menus using seasonal ingredients are specially created for all-day dining from Breakfast, Luncheon, Afternoon Tea, Dinner and Supper! Now, this is what I truly call a FEAST! This time round, the media folks were taken on a walkabout around Feast Village to sample the different fare at the many restaurants that will be participating in this year's event. There were just too many samplers to try out, here's some for you all to feast your eyes on!  Click on "Read More" to see the many pics!
