From March 7 to 11, Cross, Mejekawi’s executive chef and Moore, his head chef of the team, will present their unique cuisine fusing elements of Australian and Indonesian cuisines through an eight-course tasting menu, priced at HK$980 per person.

Originally from Byron Bay, Australia, Cross began his culinary career in Perigord, France, followed by stints in Switzerland, the UK, and some of Australia’s most revered restaurants. He worked with Neil Perry to reopen XO, and was the sous chef at Rockpool. Cross arrived at Ku De Ta in 2013 to open Mejekawi, the lifestyle club’s casual fine dining establishment.

He too, worked with Neil Perry before furthering his culinary experience with a stint at Aman Resorts in New Delhi, India, as well as Spain’s El Raco de Can Fabes, and most recently, Australia’s The Bridge Room working alongside Ross Lusted.
