Great food and good times with chef Rick Stein at The Datai Langkawi

Iconic Malaysian resort The Datai Langkawi is delighted to welcome UK celebrity chef Rick Stein as guest chef for three special nights from April 13 - 15, and he brings with him his signature charm and incredible dishes to share with guests too.  The Datai Langkawi guests will indulge in a five course dinner prepared by chef Rick Stein, and the affable chef will take some time out to share wonderful anecdotes from his amazing global food travels during dinner. A memorable night is assured!

Rick will join The Datai Langkawi's Executive Chef Conny Andersson in creating this fabulous dinner, which promises to include some of Rick's favourite seafood dishes, inspired by his love of Malay cuisine.
