The monthly dining event at 1928 Restaurant, Chef Take Over Series, continues with another remarkable guest chef. This August, the Chef Take Over Series will welcome Balinese chef I Wayan Kresna Yasa to take over 1928 Restaurant’s kitchen and present some remarkable Balinese-inspired dishes on 26 and 27 August 2022.
Chef Wayan was born in Nusa Penida, Bali. Throughout his career, he has worked at various restaurants in the United States, including fine dining establishments and Michelin-starred kitchens like Blue Hill in New York and Acadia in Chicago. Nearly a decade ago, he returned to Bali and helped Will Goldfarb launch the award-winning Room4Dessert before joining the culinary team at Desa Potato Head.
After completing his tenure as Culinary Director at Desa Potato Head, he and his wife Mary, have opened their own place called Home by Chef Wayan in Pererenan – serving up his favorite Balinese recipes. Recently he debuted his book Paon: Real Balinese Cooking, which he dubbed “a cookbook of true Balinese food and recipes.” The book shares more than 80 dishes alongside essays and beautiful photography capturing the life, culture, and food from across this widely beloved Island of Gods.
Chef Wayan will bring Balinese-inspired modern dishes, including some from his multi-generational family recipes, to Jakarta at the 5-course dinner events.
