“The menu features a variety of eye-catching and memorable dishes, such as the Rainbow Blondies with Candied Popcorn for drinks, the Iridescent Purple Beetroot Risotto as a standout item, and the Chef’s personal favourite, the Yellow Saffron-Steamed Hapuka. With its striking aesthetic, the menu promises to be perfect for capturing great photographs and adding to the overall unforgettable experience of the events,” said Ms Flaksbard.
Specifically designed to complement the atmosphere of Lightscape, the menu will make it an excellent choice for businesses looking to add a touch of sophistication and excitement to their corporate events during Vivid Sydney.
