There has never been a more maligned ingredient than FAT. But as a cook, I will tell you that fat is where all things delicious begin. This dinner explores fat, as a vehicle for flavour, whether animal (lard, chicken fat) or vegetable (coconut, olive oil)
8 courses of delightfully rich, creamy, lemak goodness with hints of tartness, boldly balanced. Vegetables to dessert , you will enjoy the various flavours of fat.
