After more than a decade making waves in the international culinary scene, Indonesian-raised chef Syamsul Rizal is ready to bring his acclaimed Japanese cooking to SugarSand.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach is delighted to welcome Chef Rizal as the Japanese Specialty Chef, overseeing the day-to-day operations at SugarSand, the hotel’s beachfront eatery.
Growing up between Bogor and Jakarta, Chef Rizal began his culinary journey locally, leading him to some of the world’s top restaurants including Miami’s downtown Nobu and Dubai’s famous Zuma. His new position at Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach marks another exciting adventure, which he approaches with great enthusiasm.
“I am planning to influence the team with a new, vibrant spirit; to encourage and at the same time inspire”. Rizal’s culinary approach will incorporate beloved and authentic Japanese ingredients, but only those that are locally sourced. While taste will be Rizal’s primary focus, he intends to capture the essence of Japanese simplicity — in both method and presentation as this will be the hallmark that shapes each and every dish.
Under Rizal’s guidance, both lunch and dinner menus at SugarSand will receive a makeover. New small bites, soups, and salads will be offered at lunch, while the evenings will soon include a convivial Izakaya concept with multiple Japanese food stalls. Rizal intends to introduce new culinary creations, including his Japanese-style fried rice with garlic and striploin — a unique fusion delight he anticipates to be a guest favorite.
