Peninsula Hospitality has named Harpreet Singh Bhatti as the new Head Chef of Waikiki, its contemporary dining and tiki bar in Mumbai. Waikiki, which recently launched, brings a taste of Hawaiian culture to the city, offering a unique blend of flavors and dining experiences.
Chef Harpreet brings over a decade of culinary experience to his new role. He started his career at the prestigious Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai, where he trained under renowned Japanese chefs, including Masaki Kobayashi-san, at the Wasabi by Morimoto restaurant. This early experience greatly influenced his approach to cooking, blending Japanese precision with Hawaiian flair.
At Waikiki, Chef Harpreet is set to innovate the menu by combining traditional Hawaiian flavors with modern techniques. One of the highlights of his culinary style is Robatoyaki, a traditional Japanese charcoal grilling technique, which he plans to integrate into the restaurant's offerings. His vision is to create dishes that capture the vibrant spirit of aloha while offering a dining experience that is both unique and memorable.
Chef Harpreet expressed his excitement about his new role, stating, "My journey began with a passion for creating memorable dining experiences, and my association with Waikiki is sure to enhance my culinary journey. I look forward to bringing the vibrant spirit of aloha to life in this exciting new chapter."
Waikiki, located in a lush, two-story setting, is known for its tropical ambiance and innovative menu. Originally crafted by Executive Chef David Cagle, the menu reflects a fusion of global ingredients and techniques while honoring the dynamic food culture of Mumbai. As the sun sets, Waikiki transforms into an enchanting paradise, offering an unforgettable culinary journey with its unique blend of Hawaiian and Japanese influences.
With Chef Harpreet at the helm, Waikiki is poised to become a culinary destination in Mumbai, where guests can enjoy a refined yet vibrant dining experience.
