Italy meets Malaysia - First collaborative cross culture Supperclub

Yeap you read right! Both Backdoor Kitchen and moi will be collaborating this November in London for one night only.

First of their many collaborations, we have joined forces to represent what both our supperclubs represent. While I represent a very varied cuisine of choice (Malaysian offerings in London while I cook my way through Europe in Malaysia), Backdoor Kitchen have been what I would say the tour-de-force in any Italian supperclub based in London. Rob, the headchef takes you through an epic journey round and across Italy with his traditional dishes derived from inspirations from his family. He even hosted a supperclub in Singapore last September to raving reviews. 

Yes, some of you who do catch up with this blog know I used to host the Budaya Kusina supperclub together with Baz of The Paleo Larder (formerly cheapeatsblog). We of course intend to continue it once we both actually are in the same country for a longer period of time. Lol!

Anyway... this one night only collaboration is on the 15th November somewhere in Bermondsey, London.
