The Experience

Join us for a night that’s anything but ordinary. David Tan, a MasterChef 2024 contestant celebrated for his science-inspired cuisine, invites you to embark on his journey of leaving everything behind to pursue his passion for the culinary arts. Through a 5-course degustation, every dish tells a story. Immerse yourself in a reimagined space featuring cutting-edge visuals and an evocative ambience, creating a vibrant setting to explore uniquely curated dishes and experience passion like never before. Every detail is thoughtfully crafted to leave you inspired, curious, and deeply connected to Melbourne’s vibrant culture.

This evening, we celebrate the courage to embrace uncertainty—to redefine starting anew as an act of freedom, a chance to choose fresh opportunities and rediscover oneself. Starting over is not failure; it’s a testament to growth. Let’s raise a glass to the chaos, the resilience, and the beauty of crafting your own journey.
