YTL Hotels Unveils Treasured Places Dining Series

YTL Hotels invites food lovers to embark on a journey through Malaysia’s unique culinary landscapes with The Treasured Places Dining Series, showcasing the artistry of two extraordinary chefs. These events are more than just dining—they’re immersive experiences of cultural and sensory discovery. Join us at Gaya Island Resort and Pangkor Laut Resort, where each dish is crafted with passion and served in unforgettable settings.

Nestled on an island within the protected Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, Gaya Island Resort presents an immersive culinary experience that seamlessly blends the vibrant flavours of South Africa with Sabah’s rich, local ingredients. This exclusive series highlights the artistry of guest chef Gordon Dovey from Ellerman House, South Africa, who joins our resident chefs to create an unforgettable dining series. Together, they combine South African culinary techniques and traditions with Borneo’s freshest ingredients—from South China Sea seafood to indigenous spices and seasonal produce.

Prepare to indulge in South African classics reimagined with a Bornean twist, adding new dimensions to flavours rooted in both cultures. Set against lush greenery with stunning views of Mount Kinabalu, this dining experience invites guests to savour a distinctive fusion, all while surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Borneo’s rainforest.

Packages start from AUD 440++ per night for a 3-day, 2-night stay for two, inclusive of daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner, return speedboat transfers, and an exclusive dinner at Fisherman’s Cove featuring Chef Dovey.

On the enchanting west coast, Pangkor Laut Resort invites you to a culinary journey where the vibrant essence of Thai flavours is brought to life through the bounty of local ingredients. Led by the talented Chef Yui Miles, MasterChef 2019 quarterfinalist, the Treasured Places Dining Series at our One Island, One Resort celebrates the art of flavour, passion, and creativity. Savour the freshest seafood from Perak’s waters, aromatic herbs, and produce from local farms—all elevated by Chef Yui’s expertise to achieve the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy Thai notes.

Set against a backdrop of lush island beauty, this intimate tasting menu takes you on an exploration of flavours, where Thai culinary finesse shines through each thoughtfully crafted dish. Every morsel captures the essence of cross-cultural harmony, leaving you with a lasting impression of how Thai flavours can be beautifully enhanced by the richness of local ingredients.

Packages start from AUD 509++ per night for a 3-day, 2-night stay for two, inclusive of daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner, a guided nature walk through our 2-million-year-old rainforest, and an exclusive dinner at Fisherman’s Cove with Chef Yui Miles.
