Jun’s, known for its innovative approach to dining, will host an exclusive four-hands dinner. Chef Kelvin Cheung of Jun’s, ranked seventh on MENA’s 50 Best List, will join forces with Chef Qais Malhas of Shams El Balad, ranked eighth, for a one-night-only event. Taking place on Monday, 24th February, the dinner offers seatings at 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM.
A Unique Collaboration
Jun’s is a restaurant that blends diverse cultural influences, creating dishes with a strong narrative. Since opening, it has built a reputation for creativity. Now, it teams up with Shams El Balad, Jordan’s top restaurant, for an evening of bold flavours and inventive pairings.
Both chefs bring distinct backgrounds to the table. Chef Qais, influenced by his Palestinian-Jordanian roots, and Chef Kelvin, shaped by his Chinese-Canadian upbringing, will craft a menu that merges traditional techniques with modern interpretations. Having previously worked together at the Jordan Food Festival, they are eager to reunite in Dubai, sharing their culinary journeys with guests.
A Curated Tasting Experience
The multi-course menu, priced at AED 495 per person (food only), features an array of refined dishes. The evening begins with fresh oysters, followed by aromatic lobster. A refreshing watermelon dish provides a crisp contrast before the rich, savoury kofta. Next, guests will enjoy earthy foul, leading into scallop, which balances umami and spice. The indulgent short rib rounds off the savoury courses with deep, satisfying flavours.
A selection of sides will accompany the main dishes, adding layers of tangy, smoky, and vibrant notes. For dessert, a refreshing sago dish cleanses the palate before an assortment of petit fours provides a sweet finale.
An Unmissable Evening
This exclusive dinner offers more than just a meal—it is a celebration of culture, creativity, and fine dining. With two of the Middle East’s top chefs collaborating, guests can expect an unforgettable evening of flavour, artistry, and culinary storytelling.
Reserve your seat for this one-night-only experience and witness the fusion of two extraordinary culinary minds.
