‘Two kitchens. Two cultures. Eight courses of unexpected flavours.’ That’s the promise, and we’re here for it. Chef Reif Othman of REIF Japanese Kushiyaki and Chef Kelvin Ng of Chôm Chôm are joining forces for a two-night collaboration bringing Japanese and Vietnamese cooking side by side.
The menu brings Othman’s playful Japanese grill cooking together with Ng’s take on Hanoi street food, with each restaurant hosting one night.

When? Thursday 22 and Friday 23 October, from 6 pm
Where? Thursday at REIF Japanese Kushiyaki, Dubai Hills; Friday at Chôm Chôm, Galleria Mall, Al Barsha
