Come 16 and 18 March, experiential dining will be taken to a whole new towering level at The Gourmet Towers of the World gala dinners at Equinox Restaurant. Founded by chef Otto Koch, from one Michelin-starred Restaurant 181 at the Olympic Tower in Munich, Germany, the culinary series features cross promotions between the veteran chef and numerous gourmet-restaurant partners around the world. Swissôtel The Stamford is the first Asian partner in the series, kick starting a string of exquisite dinners to follow in Bangkok, Las Vegas, Dubai, Paris, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai and Taipei.

The stage, which will be shared by chef de cuisine of Equinox Restaurant, Lee Bennett, is set for a seven-course extravaganza ($298 with wine pairings), featuring Koch's Falsche Prinzregententorte (False Prince Regent Torte), Interpretation of Turbot, Braised Beef Cheek in Wasabi Tempura with Tenderloin of Angus Beef, Roasted Foie Gras, Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Glazed Baby Carrots, as well as a surprise 'Honeymoon' dessert.
