Coming soon: Award-winning Chef Lino Sauro at The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur

Here comes good news for local gourmands: From 14 to 18 March, The Library at The Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur will be hosting a five-day culinary showcase with Chef Lino. Go on a gastronomic journey with Chef Lino and savour his signature take on authentic Southern Italian cuisine, where his expertise of combining contemporary culinary techniques and traditional Sicilian flavours will shine through a specially designed four-course dinner menu.
