MasterChef, the TV Experience: Family Day Brunch
For an Eid dining experience that will appeal to all ages – from little kids to food-loving grown-ups – the Family Day Brunch at the ever-popular MasterChef-inspired restaurant, is a fantastic option for the weekend celebrations.
The must-try menu features trendy sharing starters such as oxtail bao, tacos and dragon fruit ceviche. While indulgent main courses include a gourmet wagyu beef burger, salmon fillet in butter sauce and Josper-roasted beef ribeye. And that’s not all, two decadent desserts (truffle tiramisu and chocolate aero-mousse with honey ice cream) are set to round off an unbeatable meal.
A special selection of kid-friendly activities – think pizza making and a cupcake icing competition – will meanwhile keep children happily entertained all afternoon long, leaving adults free to enjoy their food accompanied. Better still there will be live music from popular vocalist, Natalie Siborro.
