Tatler Malaysia Magazine - July 2022

In this issue

In the spirit of delighting in good food made with love, Tatler highlights a few culinary stars in the local and international scene this month. Gracing the cover is Canadian celebrity chef, television host and cookbook author David Rocco, who tells us about the opening of his first global restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. Eight executive chefs from well-established restaurants are also featured in this issue, as they dish out what keeps their passion alive and how they got to be in this line of work. Up in Penang, we chat with two mixologists who give us some insight into the bar scene there. Last but not least, UK-based, Malaysia-born MasterChef champ Ping Coombes shares about her favourite eats from the homeland.
