Star Chef Anton Mosimann Returns to Malaysia at The Datai Langkawi from 24 to 27 September 2012

LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA, July 03, 2012 (Press-News.org) Langkawi, Malaysia - Star chef Anton Mosimann returns to Malaysia this September as Guest Chef at the award-winning resort, The Datai Langkawi, from 24 to 27 September 2012. Guests will soon have the privilege of indulging in the tantalising temptations of fine culinary arts, as presented by Mr. Anton Mosimann. The chef will also grace another top-rated resort, The Club Saujana in Selangor from 17 to 22 September.

The Swiss-born chef rose to fame in the UK while cooking at The Dorchester where he witnessed the restaurant being awarded Two Michelin Stars. He is widely regarded as the founder of Cuisine Naturelle, a style of cooking he invented that highlights the flavours of individual ingredients. Mosimann followed the halcyon Dorchester years by opening his own Private Dining Club, Mosimann's, in London's Belgravia.

In 2011, he was chosen to display his culinary expertise for 300 guests at the grand reception in honour of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Ms. Catherine Middleton's wedding at the Buckingham Palace.

Apart from that year's grandest Royal Wedding, Mr. Mosimann has catered for most of Europe's Heads of State as well as the British Royal Family, 4 British Prime Ministers and 4 US Presidents. His presence at The Datai Langkawi is an opportunity for discerning Malaysian gourmands who are quick to seize it to enjoy a taste of Chef Mosimann's exemplary cuisines.

For Chef Mosimann's return visit, he will showcase his exclusive lunch and dinner menus at the 2 resorts, with optional wine pairings available with each sublime course. Guests can expect such specialities from the award-winning Chef, such as Chicken Liver Parfait with Pistachio Brioche, Marinated Scottish Salmon with Fresh Crabmeat, Coriander and Lemon Sauce, Roasted Saddle of Lamb, Herb Crust English Cheese, and Mille-feuille of Red Berries with Raspberry Sauce, among others.
