GL Events and LN Garden Hotel event teams worked together to create this epic event experience. The theme of the evening was "Starry Night,” inspired by the plethora of Michelin star chefs and upcoming culinary stars who participated in the contest. The lobby was transformed into a street in France’s iconic city of Lyon on a starry night, and the luminous ballroom warmly welcomed the chefs and the guests.

A special handcrafted feast was presented by five Michelin star chefs for the evening. 3 Michelin Star Chef Paul Pairet presented an innovative ‘Very-Sea Sea-Scallop’ dish which combined the freshest flavors of sea including scallops, sea urchin, seawater and soya sauce base - a hint of Asian flavor. The peculiar characteristic of scallop shell in this dish is that it melts in just few minutes of serving. The LN Garden Hotel's service team showed excellent coordination in presenting this dish to the guest so they could enjoy it before it got melted.
