Vol. 2: Explorers features a culinary partnership between chefs Darren Teoh (Dewakan Kuala Lumpur - two Michelin stars, one green star) and Chele Gonzalez (Gallery by Chele - #72 in Asia's 50 Best, two knives from Best Chefs Awards 2025). Both chefs are dedicated to becoming masters of their domains, moving beyond simple foraging to intense research and experimentation with locally sourced ingredients. They aim to discover and reveal the undiscovered flavors and numerous profiles an ingredient can project when exposed to different techniques.

This installment of The Edible Thesis Series will showcase many interesting things, from indigenous ingredients rarely used outside their respective regions to separate culinary studies on the same shared ingredients, yielding results unique to each chef's heritage and skill. It will also include dishes featuring seasonal vegetables and comfort food classics from Malaysia and the Philippines, executed with reverence and finesse.

It is an exploration without boundaries, resulting in limitless and delicious possibilities.

We bring this experience to you through a multi-course tasting menu journey at 9,800+ each person.

October 26, Sunday- Dinner
October 27, Monday - Lunch

We have always loved using local produce. It brings value not only to the ingredients themselves, but also to the farmers and fishing communities where they are sourced. This dish, in particular, features a yakitori-style grilled local lobster from the beautiful island of Palawan. It’s served over a calamansi purée and finished with a uni sauce made from fresh coconut milk, along with a few drops of cilantro emulsion and oil.

This dish truly reflects the philosophy and experience we share in the restaurant. Creating a connection to the many communities across the Philippines that brought these ingredients to your plate. 🧭
