Renowned Chefs & Food Establishments at Guinness Flavour by Fire in Sentul Depot KL

 Late last month, I had the opportunity to attend the Media Masterclass and Sneak Taste Preview with Chef Sherson Lian by Guinness Malaysia. The sneak taste preview is part of the upcoming festival Guinness Flavour by Fire which will be happening soon at Sentul Depot, Kuala Lumpur.

The preview took place at Gasket Alley's Makhan @ Kitchen Mafia on the 27th July, 2023 and attended by media and KOLs. I was happy to see many familiar faces at the event aside from the delicious food which they have prepared for us.

A short welcome speech by Shaun Lim, Marketing Manager of Guinness Malaysia.

It was indeed a pleasure to learn from the passionate Chef Sherson Lian on how to prepare fire grilled and pan grilled lamb and beef steak.

Chef Sherson explaining the Maillard effect that produces an extraordinary taste experience at upcoming Guinness Flavour by Fire.

Both pan grilled and fire grilled were good but I personally prefer the fire grilled steak as it has more depth into the flavour with a nice smokiness taste and slightly charred. 

Three dishes were prepared for us other than the lamb and beef steak. The first one is the Guinness infused chicken char siew to be sacoured only at Flavour by Fire festival by Makhan by Kitchen Mafia. I really enjoyed the sauce on the chicken char siew that went very well with the chilly dipping sauce.

Next, we had the Guinness infused lamb ribs. Lamb ribs lover will definitely enjoy this. It's incredibly flavourful and the meat falls off the bone super easily.

Last but not least, we had a sweet ending of the Guinness-infused cream with flourless chocolate cake. Probably I enjoyed this the most since I am a dessert lover, it's not too sweet and the saltiness from the cream really elevate the overall taste of this cake!

At the festival, the chefs' command of fire and culinary prowess are showcased. Beyond the ordinary, they will prepare a variety of inventive meals with Guinness infusions, bringing out strong tastes that will tantalise the palate.
