The team at My Little Spanish Place is all set to welcome Japanese pastry chef Emily Mori from Tokyo, Japan for their first guest chef dinner at their third outlet at Boat Quay. The one-day event offers a four-course dinner that includes a dessert platter with six types of desserts created by two pastry chefs.
Chef Emily Mori is the owner of Emily Mori Desserterie in Tokyo, Japan and has trained in the Tsuji Institute of Patisserie. She also holds a certificate in chocolate from M.O.F. Olivier Bajard’s Ecole Internationale de Patisserie in Perpignan, France. After apprenticeships in France and New York, and working stints in Taipei and Tokyo, she opened a dessert salon in Japan and has earned a reputation for her plated desserts with whimsical influences.
The “8 Hands” dinner will feature chef-partners Edward Esmero and Maria Sevillano. It will also debut Pastry Chef Karyn Chung, who has just joined the team, and will collaborate with Chef Emily Mori on the dessert platter.
