Invitation to Dine with the Best - The Kuala Lumpur International Gourmet Festival 2005
Thursday, December 15, 2005
Proud that Me, Jerry(my brother) & Elvan (my partner) was invited to The Grand Finale Dinner of KL International Gourmet Festival, as its strictly by invitation basic and per pax quoted RM550 above. Its really open our eyes, from the decoration of the event, food, wine, people & program.they even use thousands of candle light up the Shangri La Grand Ballroom…… It is Spectacular……….
What really got the crowd cheering was the Chef’s Charity Auction, where 17 of the 23 Chefs were auctioned off for a good course. The most interesting part was the inclusion of new "Chefs", namely
Hong Kong
cum Hollywood Superstar "Jackie Chan" and Malaysia Prime Minister’s Daughter, Nori Abdullah and her husband, Khairy Jamaluddin.
The night itself raised RM500,000 which break a new record for the Chef’s Charity Auction.
