F1 Singapore Grand Prix will descend upon our city in a few days’ time and there’s plenty of off-track entertainment for foodies to look forward to. A celebrity chef fuelled masterclass series will take place from 17-19 September.

For fans of Heston Blumenthal’s avant-garde cuisine, The Fat Duck Group’s masterclass is not to be missed. Representing his brand is Otto Romer, head of partnership development at The Fat Duck Group, and Peter Gray, head chef of The Hind’s Head. Romer spent a large part of his career developing dishes for the group at the Fat Duck Experimental Kitchen, while Gray leads the one Michelin-starred British Gastropub. Together, they will demonstrate two iconic dishes from The Hind’s Head: Pea Soup and Scotch Egg.

Nobu Restaurants

The Peruvian-Japanese fusion dishes of chef Nobu Matsuhisa have been dazzling the Hollywood set ever since his first restaurant in Beverly Hills in the 80’s. His current count of 40 restaurants over five continents is a reflection of the popularity of his style of cuisine over the past 30 years. Matsuhisa will be fielding executive chef Mark Edwards of Nobu London and Nobu Berkeley ST, and executive chef Phillip Leong of Nobu Kuala Lumpur to showcase three dishes. They include a Chilean Sea Bass with Black Bean Sauce; King Crab Ginger Salsa; and Salmon Tataki Karashisumiso.
