Ever dream of a
Charlie and the chocolate factory themed Christmas? The Westin Kuala Lumpur
team is out to make that a reality this Yuletide season with chocolicious
highlights taking centrestage.
According to
Executive Chef Halim Chek Lah, the idea is to push his team to raise their
culinary game in working with chocolate. “Although the ingredient of choice is
focused mainly on dessert and sweets, everyone has to think creatively and
learn how to make the best use of premium Callebaut chocolate. We also experimented
with uniquely flavoured variants such as sea salt and dark chocolate, resulting in 30 different desserts for our festive menus.”
