Le Petit Chef: The World’s Smallest Chef Lands In S’pore For An Immersive Dining Journey Like No Other

Grand Hyatt Singapore has always been known for introducing fresh F&B concepts, such as when plant-based Beyond Burger first arrived in Singapore. This time around, Grand Hyatt’s mezza9 plays host to an immersive dining journey like no other by the world’s smallest chef—Le Petit Chef.

It’s not the first time the Le Petit Chef experience came to Singapore, but this time, we’re getting a much longer run with more opportunities to try this much raved about dining sensation.

Themed after Marco Polo’s travels through Asia and the silk road, this Singapore rendition of Le Petit Chef takes diners on a two-hour adventure following the little chef’s footsteps mirroring the famed merchant.

Precise 3D digital projections bring Le Petit Chef to life as he recounts his quest for gastronomic excellence across oceans and continents.

Get ready for a carefully-orchestrated, theatrical dining experience in mezza9’s exclusive wine cellar La Cave from 5 September till 30 December 2019. Only 16 guests can be catered for during each session, making this a truly intimate affair.

Grand Hyatt’s kitchen team have curated a six-course menu that pairs precisely with the whole story-telling narrative of Le Petit Chef. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but dishes will comprise of Middle Eastern, Indian, and Chinese influences, attempting to match the narrative as best possible.

Four different menus will be available, including a kids’ and vegetarian option. The visual projections will remain the same while diners get served their respective menus for each session.

Looking to elevate the Le Petit Chef experience?  Three alcohol pairing packages are available as well, starting from S$88, offering a selection of six wines and champagnes to go along with each dish.

The final dessert dish presents the closest synchronised dish with its digital counterpart and is a signature scene from Le Petit Chef not to be missed.

It is indeed not an easy task to pull off such intricate hosting, theatrics and food all in one. Expect some minor hiccups here and there due to the complex nature of Le Petit Chef, but this unique food and entertainment combination is one rarely seen in Singapore.

Don’t expect a gastronomic epiphany, but I daresay Grand Hyatt’s team have executed this demanding dining experience with a service level exceptionally well—the projection mapping itself is a visual feast worth a visit.

Three sessions of Le Petit Chef Singapore are available daily at 12.30pm, 6pm and 8.30pm. You can book your experience online here.
