On 28 October, Chef Blondet will host "The Art of Savoir-Faire" at La Locanda, offering a refined set menu. The following evening, he will collaborate with Chef David at Summer Pavilion for "A Dialogue of Flavours," blending French and Cantonese cuisines.
The week concludes with the Phoenix Carnival on 31 October at Recreation Beach, featuring live entertainment and festive flavours.
