This October, Padma Resort Legian will present Flavours of Latin & Nikkei, a special two-day dining event welcoming Guest Chef Silverio Martinez in collaboration with the resort’s own Chef Juan Carlos Jara Eyzaguirre.
Chef Silverio Martinez, Head Chef at CasaLena, a Latin American grill in Jakarta, is renowned for his passion for wood-fired cooking and his ability to bring out the depth of Latin flavours. His career has taken him to acclaimed kitchens across Asia and Mexico, including a role as Executive Chef with Marriott International in his home country.
At Padma Resort Legian, Chef Juan Carlos Jara Eyzaguirre, Executive Sous Chef, is the creative force behind TENKAI Japanese Nikkei Restaurant, curating its menus and shaping its unique dining journey.
