THE Gulf Hotel Bahrain yesterday welcomed New York-based celebrity chef Anita Lo until Saturday.
The culinary journey of the trailblazing first-generation Chinese-American chef spanning from Birmingham, Michigan to Paris and New York City, has been an evolution of innovation and mastery, writes Jayne Houghton.
Notably, her culinary prowess soared when she became the first female guest chef at a White House State Dinner in 2015. Crafting a sumptuous four-course meal for the visiting Chinese President and his wife showcased her finesse and innovation on an international stage.
During her limited engagement in Bahrain, guests can indulge in a selection of plates curated by Chef Lo, showcasing her global culinary journey.
Alongside a variety of à la carte options, a tasting menu priced at BD35 will offer a tantalising journey through her signature dishes. Among her celebrated dishes, the spiced red-cooked short rib with rice chip, Shanghai bok choy, and goji berries, priced at BD12.5, proved to be a standout, lauded for its melt-in-your-mouth perfection during a sneak preview.
Chef Lo spoke warmly of her return to Bahrain.
“Bahrain’s rich culture and diverse palate offer an exciting canvas for culinary exploration. I’m truly thrilled to bring my flavours and experiences to life here at The Gulf Hotel Bahrain,” she told the GDN.
Hotel food and beverage director Sunuj Deen underscored the importance of Chef Lo’s return.
“The visit is a direct response to our guests’ desires and appreciation for her cuisine,” he said, adding, “Yesterday’s kick-off leads to an exciting finale on December 2, with Chef Lo hosting a masterclass priced at BD38 with taxes. This exclusive opportunity allows our guests to learn her techniques and recreate her culinary magic at home.”
Chef Lo’s presence at The Gulf Hotel Bahrain promises an unparalleled culinary experience. Her culinary journey, celebrated achievements, and the upcoming masterclass offer enthusiasts a chance to immerse themselves in her world of culinary innovation.
