Chef Steve Allen is my hero. Not only because his food is terrific, but because he also managed to survive, working more than 10 long years in the Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen at Claridge’s. Talking to the new chef of Dish Kuala Lumpur, we found Steve to be down to earth and a really calm, cool [...]
The Glenmorangie’s Soundform Fluid bar Event at the Gardens last week, was a real eye opener, to say the least.
