The Art of Bohemia- The Nautilus Maldives Invites Award-Winning Chocolatier Janice Wong
Wednesday 8th of February 2023
With Valentine’s day falling on the month, it is no wonder that February is the month of love and therefore, rising demands can be expected on everyone’s favourite delicacy for the occasion: chocolate. A blissful indulgence, chocolate has received time-honoured recognition for its ability to evoke emotions and feelings while playfully tantalizing the tastebuds with its unique blend of flavours.
Hence, this time of the year is the perfect window to welcome world-renowned chef and multi-award-winning chocolatier- Janice Wong to the shores of The Nautilus Maldives. During her residency at the bespoke property from 21-26th February, Chef Janice will open the doors to an immersive chocolate experience as guests discover and enjoy their long-standing preferred confections. Everything ranging from chocolate installations, desserts and cakes will be curated by the visiting chef, serving an exclusive slice of paradise dedicated to the sweet tooths.
The Creator of Edible Bohemian Art
Chef Janice Wong helms the confectionary brand Janice Wong Singapore where the careful integration of art and design has led to the artistic creation of several delicious treats. Headquartered in Singapore, Chef Janice and her team push the boundaries of dessert making further, fueled by their joint passion for the culinary arts. This won her commendable public acclaim, and she was named ‘Asia’s Best Pastry Chef’ during the time.
Chef Janice Wong incepted her first dessert restaurant, 2am: dessert bar in Singapore in 2007 and by 2014 established her own brand, Janice Wong Singapore to market a wide range of confectionery products including custom-made chocolate bon bons, cake and ice cream.
The Art of Bohemia to be hosted in the Nautilus Maldives capitalizes on the passion for self-expression and the taste for elegance while touching up on its trademark whimsy. With creativity running high at the end, the experience guarantees a memorable time celebrating life’s greatest gift- chocolate.
A Flavourful World of Sweet Delicacies
Paying homage to the natural splendour of the Maldivian shores, Chef Janice was inspired to create the ‘Timeless Sweet Experience’, depicting sweet delicacies bearing resemblance to the Maldives. Guests can bite into devouring assortments of pastries, artistic kaffir lime caramel bon bons and ginger flower pistachio flavoured chocolate amenities while taking in the visually aesthetic look of the treats.
The sweet delicacies are handcrafted to produce the essence of bohemia while encompassing the unique sensation of tastes incorporated into them. For those celebrating a special occasion during these days, they will be thrilled to receive a hand-delivered signature Nautilus cake, beautifully crafted to elevate any momentous event. Over at Zeytoun, guests will lavish in the one-of-a-kind dessert served at the 2am: dessert bar.
For guests seeking to dive deeper into the art, an immersive and interactive experience awaits at Naiboli Poolside Bar, where Chef Janice will host a cocktail jamming session during the Nautilus Rising cocktail hour.
