The Balvenie X Thevar: Handcrafted by Chef Mano Thevar

Handcrafted By is an expanded gastronomy series that brings to life how both the craftsmen at The Balvenie and MICHELIN Guide chefs have stood the test of time, and poured their hearts and passions into creating something extraordinary. This series includes a total of six restaurants in Singapore, inclusive of perennial favourites like Braci, Shisen Hanten and Burnt Ends.

The Balvenie and Chef Thevar share the same philosophy in terms of craftsmanship as both share the same passion and attention to detail. Chef Thevar calls the pairing of whisky and Indian food a “match made in heaven” and he brings this to life with his two handcrafted dishes paired with The Balvenie.

The main dish is a tandoori rack of lamb paired with The Balvenie Doublewood 12, which is served neat. For dessert, Chef Thevar adds his own personal twist to a classical Bengali dessert called rasmalai and The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14, which has sweet, creamy toffee notes. To go with the rasmalai is a ghee cake with milk powder, similar to the texture of a gulab jamun, that’s served with cinnamon ice cream and a saffron cloud.

Until 7 December 2021, diners can enjoy the handcrafted pairings at Thevar. The two dishes are part of the restaurant’s dining menu. Reserve a table at 9750 8275
