With this special collaboration diners will not only get to sample his delicious cuisine but also get to meet him in person. The diners yesterday had a great time taking wefie's with the charming and pleasant chef, who kept guiding diners and what they should try.

The culinary brigade at Mosaic Restaurant led by Chef Zuber and Chef Kamaruddin is showcasing a variety of authentic local dishes and a variety of International favourites to give diners a taste of home this fasting month with items like hummus and Spanish seafood paela.
