During the SA national lockdown on 27 March I find myself just like many others feeling anxious and lost in first two weeks then i got even more depressed when the lockdown extension was announced by the .
Then I decided waste no time, but to launched my cooking class by selling discounted vouchers during downtown to my closed friend and redeem later.
by posting online tutorial video on my Facebook everyday. After the second day i got a call from India – Mr Kardik Bhatt who i met in 2016 during my Pan Asian Food Promotion for Olive Tree Trading in Hyderabad.
He invited me in collaboration during these challenging times and showcasing my culinary talent through LIVE master class sessions with Marriott Hotels,India.
I committed myself to him immediately with no second thought.
Namaste India !
I am proud to present you #MasterOfMarriott with Chef Kuan Lai from Malaysia with a series Asian Master Class Live Stream from my home in Cape Town, South Africa.

After the immensely successful food previews with the most reputed hospitality brands in India, consecutively in 2017, 2018 & 2019, I thought I was destined to revisit this beautiful and friendly country again in the year 2020.
But as we began the year, I realised that I could not even step out of my house. And I believe your travel plans are shattered too!
No worries, if you cannot travel to the East, and that I cannot come to you, let me bring the Far East to you, as your experience #MarriottAtHome! I will be going live every week for the next 4 weeks with 4 distinguished hotels of Marriott India, showcasing simple, easy to make dishes which are flavourful yet authentically East.
