There’s always something delicious going on at Prego, the Italian restaurant of The Westin Kuala Lumpur. This is partly due to the fact that its large open kitchen is right there at the centre and everything the chefs do can be observed by the diners. Another reason is because Chef Marco De Cecco is so passionate about his cooking and the passion rubs off onto the crew. Chef Marco is always bustling around the kitchen with efforts geared towards bringing back Italy to Bukit Bintang curating new … [Read more...]

Celebrity Chef Rosalind Chan – Cake Designer Extraordinaire

With awards and accolades in the field of cake designing a mile long, you can’t blame me if I had thought her to be a formidable character. Prior to interviewing her, of course I had done some homework and the more I read about her, the more awestruck I became. Rosalind Chan’s credentials are incredible. She is a world-class cake designer, international instructor, adjudicator and entrepreneur setting … [Read more...]
