Launch of Gourmet Fest 2013

Tonight is the opening night of the Sutera Harbour Resort & Winecellars Gourmet Fest 2013. The event is by invitation only, accommodating a maximum of 200 guests including Press. I will be there with friends and some of us are pretty excited, seeing that this will be the first time that Kota Kinabalu is having such a glam event.

Two Italian chefs, one a Michelin Star and two award-winning chefs based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia will highlight during the fest period. Tonight, the chefs will showcased their signature items for guests to savour.

We heard the evening's agenda has been kept simple with light food complemented by selected wines, provided by the event's partner, Winecellars belonging to Ms Meng Tan.

Initially the event was planned at The Magellan Sutera Resort's Club Garden but because the ground is rather soggy due to the constant rain over the past few days it has been moved to the Resort's Tariks Lobby Lounge instead.

Well, it's just a few hours more to the opening and the sky looks dark. Let's see if everyone is in high spirits because we are!
