You could find yourself in Italian gastronomic heaven from January 11 to 14 at Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur, as visiting Michelin-starred executive chef Mario Cittadini presents the fruits of his travels and experience on the Mandarin Grill table.
Malaysian lovers of Italian food are in for a treat. From January 11 to 14, Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur’s Mandarin Grill is hosting Michelin-starred Chef Mario Cittadini in his sophomore presentation of carefully-curated Italian menus.
Currently executive chef at Mandarin Oriental Singapore, Chef Mario’s epicurean sense is dictated by a flair for turning everyday products into delectable fine cuisine. He is guided by the belief that ingredients and diners come before the chef and his techniques. Chef Mario’s sensitivity shines through his dishes with a playful tone that honours simplicity first and foremost, representing the skill he refined over two decades in kitchens around the world.
Following the encouraging response of his KL debut last year, the soft-spoken Tuscany native is back to excite Malaysian palates with new flavours and ingredients. Here are eight selections Chef Mario treated us to from the lunch and dinner menus available now.
