Chefs Makes Music + Culinary Delight

MALACCA: Rennaissance Melaka Hotel chefs showed their guests and patrons at the hotel's 22nd anniversary celebrations recently that they could “stomp” out music as well as whip up culinary delights.

Armed with knifes, woks, chopsticks, pans and cutting boards, the chefs gave a series of performances that appeard to have been inspired by stomp, a new genre of music where performers use kitchen utensils as percussion instruments.

Renaissance Melaka general manager George Varughese, who came on board two years ago and who was musically outfitted with a saucepan and ladle for the event, said the management team had introduced many changes and upgrades in the hotel's interior design, bedding, services and restaurants throughout 2006.

“I hope everyone will continue to work harder to strive for excellence and continue to be the market leader in occupancy and rates in this historiccity,” said Varughese.
