Chef Garcia demonstrates his innovative techniques in preparing avant-garde cuisine in this culinary theatre. Guests also get a chance to meet and interact with Chef Garcia up close.
After the “sublimotion” room, bask in “The Little Prince landscape.” Be transported in a contemporary recreation of the Sahara desert and mountain area with a showcase of Impy Pilapil’s modern abstract sculptures representing nature.
