The last dinner of the season was about taking full advantage of the outdoors before summer hits Oman.

The event themed “Angin Laut” (sea breeze) featured al fresco dining at its best. It took place in the Grand Hyatt Muscat’s Marjan Restaurant.

The tropical vibe started with welcome cocktails served in a coconut shell which we thoroughly enjoyed before moving to the evening’s feast. 

Subtle flavours and freshness of ingredients in all the dishes were perfect for the weather.  The spice quotient was at a comfortable level.

The vegetable green curry in particular was a hit though many said they would have preferred a bit more of a ‘kick’! The combination of hot and cold dishes served simultaneously was also a different experience and appreciated.
