Bobby Chinn to Perform One Night of Culinary Magic at Anantara Veli Resort in Maldives

Celebrity TV Chef Bobby Chinn is to make a special guest appearance at 73 Degrees restaurant at the Anantara Veli Resort in Maldives for one night only, on 11 May 2016.

In association with Fine Dining Lovers, the event is a continuation of an exclusive series at Anantara resorts across Maldives, featuring culinary collaborations with San Pellegrino’s Fine Dining Lovers and award-winning chefs from the 50 Best restaurant series and beyond.

Food lovers will be able to enjoy an evening of exotic flavours and shared conversation on 11 May with Bobby Chinn as Guest Chef. Over the following two days guests can then join Bobby on fishing trips and celebrate the catch with Anantara’s signature Dine By Design experience on the beach front, hosted by Bobby at the table.

Half Egyptian and half Chinese, Bobby Chinn established his restaurant Bobby Chinn in Hanoi and his profile quickly rose on the culinary scene. Over his career, he has cooked for a number of personalities, including Bill Clinton in 2011 and Bob Dylan on his Asian Tour. In 2013, Bobby moved to London to open his new restaurant, the House of Ho.

Coetzer Deysel, General Manager of the Anantara Veli, said, “The team at Anantara Veli is tremendously excited to welcome Bobby Chin to the resort and we are particularly excited that he will be working with our resident Ayurveda doctor from our Sundari Ayurvdic Spa. Together they will create a brand new addition to the Anantara Spice Spoons Cooking Class series, focusing purely on Ayurveda cuisine. This collaboration takes healthy eating to a whole different level and fits our luxury offering, with some items being incorporated to our daily culinary choices.”

Among the signature dishes showcasing just why Bobby Chinn is a master of combining flavours into new dishes, the six-course menu served on 11 May will include oyster brûlée, sake sabayon, foie gras wrapped fig port jus, sake steamed lobster risotto, seared scallops braised with edamame truffle pea jus and a rack of lamb with Asian ratatouille.

Additionally, a menu of the finest spirits and wines will be selected by Anantara’s Wine Guru and Executive Chef Walter Butti to complement the event.

Filippo Cassabgi, Area Manager for San Pellegrino, said, “As part of our ongoing partnership with Anantara, collaborating with the skilled and entertaining chef Bobby Chinn on healthy cuisine, fine dining and bringing him to the luxury resort surroundings of Anantara is a perfect match for S.Pellegrino and Acqua Panna. It will be a unique Fine Dining Lovers event in the Maldives that really highlights how healthy cuisine can be indulgent too.”

Available to guests at Anantara Veli Resort, Anantara Dhigu Resort and Nalahdu Maldives, as well as those staying at other resorts near South Male Atoll, this month’s one-of-a-kind offering is priced at US$ 165++ per person for the dinner on 11 May 2016, including wine pairing.
