March 20, 2018

Singapore chosen for debut.

JW Marriott debuts “Taste of JW”, a pan-Asian gastronomic journey highlighting the brand’s passionate chefs.
 
Taste The Moment is a culinary festival offering experiences that include workshops, chef masterclasses, and an immersive supper featuring chefs from across the portfolio’s Asia-Pacific properties. The inaugural festival will be launched as the first of its kind at JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach on March 24 and will run for two days.
 
“Singapore is an ideal destination to launch this culinary festival because it is both a gateway city to Asia-Pacific and a culinary capital in its own right.”  says Bruce Ryde, Vice President, Luxury Brand Management and Marketing, Marriott International. 

Experential Supper

Chef Thomas Liang (JW Marriott Hotel Hangzhou), Chef Pieter Fitz-Dreyer (JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong), and Pastry Chef Chotiphat Laisuwan (JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok) will take you through this unique five-course supper – an interactive experience of sights, sounds, and smells, and feature live performances and visual arts that express the inspiration and personal culinary journey of each chef.

Chef Masterclasses

Chef Sidharth Bhardwaj (JW Marriott Mussoorie Walnut Grove Resort & Spa, India) will share his passion for well-being by translating culinary nutrition into delectable and flavourful dishes in his masterclass, Nourish to Flourish.
