    Brash, bold and endlessly fun, Gaggan Anand  upends the traditional fine-dining experience. Four evenings a week, chef Gaggan Anand crafts 25-plus course menus with unmatched panache and energy. His dishes disrupt everything diners think they know about Indian cuisine, and the experience borders on theatrical. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself doing impromptu karaoke, using blow torches or even digging in “dirt” while enjoying this endlessly creative meal.

    At this Michelin-starred Hong Kong restaurant , Argentine chef Agustin Balbi serves deeply personal dishes that bring together his Hispanic heritage and Japanese culinary training. Embarking on a multi-course tasting menu, diners can look forward to innovative dishes categorised by cooking style – raw, cooked and sweet – and his signature seafood rice stew, “Sin Lola,” which is a beautiful tribute to his grandmother. And thanks to the open kitchen, you can see the chef in action as he marries the flavours of his youth and his life abroad.
