Pullman Maldives Maamutaa invites Chef Sylvain Royer from the Scarlett Wine Bar and Restaurant at the Pullman Bangkok Hotel G as this year’s Food Week ambassador. The collaboration brings the cosmopolitan vibe of Bangkok to the Gaafu Alifu atoll through a week-long series of special dinners, cooking and cocktail classes, and an Iron Chef competition.
Since 2021, the resort has been staging annual Food Weeks as part of the Pillar Week series; four yearly events that celebrate the brand pillars of sustainability, fitness, art, and food. This year’s Food Week will be held with special guest Chef Royer, the General Manager and Chef de Cuisine of R&B Lab that owns and operates a number of multi-awarded and popular restaurants and bars worldwide, including Scarlett Wine Bar & Restaurant; awarded a Michelin Plate in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and 25 Degrees; awarded the Best American Burger by the US Embassy in Thailand. Both restaurants are housed in Pullman Bangkok Hotel G.
From August 12th to 18th, Chef Royer will treat guests to a number of special dinners, such as a vegan/vegetarian tasting menu at Phat Chameleon, a four hands collaboration with Pullman Maldives’ executive chef Nyoman Suandari at Souq Oven, and a wine dinner on the beach, for which Chef Royer has exclusively curated a menu.
Highlights from Pullman Bangkok Hotel G’s restaurants 25 Degrees and Scarlett, will be featured daily in Mélange, the resort’s all-day dining restaurant. Chef Royer will also be conducting exclusive cooking classes where guests will have the opportunity to learn directly from him.
The Iron Chef competition, where the resort’s chefs pair off into teams and participate in a contest of skill and creativity, will be judged by Chef Royer himself. With Chef Royer conducting masterclasses for the resort’s culinary team days ahead of Food Week, the competition will begin a week before the actual contest. Chef Royer will also bring his star mixologist, Khun Ploy, for a Scarlett Bar Take Over at Saffron Affair. She will be mentoring the bar team as they prepare for the Bartender Battles.
