This spring, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa is set to host an extraordinary culinary experience with the arrival of renowned Hong Kong chef Grace Choy. From April 1 to 15, 2025, guests will have the rare opportunity to indulge in artfully crafted Cantonese cuisine, presented under the glow of torchlight at Pool Island.

A Taste of Cantonese Excellence

Chef Grace Choy, celebrated for her innovative storytelling through food, has redefined Cantonese flavors at her Tokyo-based ChoyChoy Private Kitchen. Named one of CNN’s “Hong Kong's 10 Best Private Kitchens,” her intimate dining approach transforms humble ingredients into flavor-packed masterpieces.

At Kuda Huraa, she will craft a specially curated menu featuring:

• Hong Kong-style char siu – expertly caramelized for a perfect balance of sweet and savory
•  Double-boiled dried cabbage and fig soup – a traditional dish packed with depth and nourishment
•  Fresh-caught Maldivian seafood – elevated with Cantonese culinary techniques
•  Delicate handcrafted desserts – paired with a rare 1998 Ripe Pu'er Lao Cha Tou (old tea)

A One-of-a-Kind Experience

Guests can immerse themselves in Chef Grace’s culinary philosophy beyond the dining table. Intimate cookery classes offer insights into her techniques, while a Maldivian fishing excursion using traditional handline methods allows guests to cook their own catch under her guidance. Both experiences are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

A Chef’s Inspiration Under the Stars

Reflecting on her upcoming residency, Chef Grace Choy shares:

“The kitchen is where I can completely focus my body and mind. Wherever you can focus your body and mind, it is heaven, and time stands still. I can’t wait to explore that sense of presence under the starlit Maldivian skies, with access to the freshest seafood and an inspiring location.”
