SINGAPORE celebrity chef Siti Mastura and her husband yesterday got a taste of Ramadhan in the Sultanate as they broke their fast at Gohan Sushi and Shabu Shabu in Kampong Kiarong.
Chef Siti was impressed with the high quality food, the presentation and service at Gohan Sushi.
She noted that most Brunei food and beverage (F&B) establishments use fresh products and quality ingredients in meal preparation, adding that Gohan Sushi is comparable with high class international Japanese restaurants, with a Halal-compliance advantage.
National Chamber of Commerce and Industry Brunei Darussalam (NCCIBD) Advisor cum iCentre Cottage and Initiative Programme Principle Mentor Captain (Rtd) Zailan bin Pehin Datu Kerma Setia Major (Rtd) Dato Seri Laila Jasa Mohd Don and his spouse, as well as iCentre Cottage and Youth Initiative Programme Advisor Haji Ramlee bin Begawan Pehin Khatib Dato Paduka Haji Zainuddin and his wife also joined the breaking of fast.
The celebrity chef then made her way to the The Library Cafe in Kiulap for a coffee and cake treat as well as a two-hour cake-preparation demonstration at the Library Cafeteria.

She shared cooking tips with attendees, among them VVIPs, dispensing advice on the proper heating temperatures, importance of grill positioning, usage of graded eggs, among others.
Chef Siti was best pleased with the performance of The Library Cafe’s chef – who boasts 13 years’ experience in whipping up delicious cakes and pastries, the ambiance of The Library Café and its modern fusion cakes.
Overall, Brunei has huge potential in offering high-class dining experience, which should be marketed and branched outside of Brunei, she said, before expressing hopes of coming back to the Sultanate for more talks and forums.
