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.”

With only eight tables available per night, this is an exclusive dining affair not to be missed. To secure a seat, email: reservations.mal@fourseasons.com or call: (960) 66 00 888.
