<p>Southeast Asia–based gourmands do not need to wait for the opening of Ubud’s Syrco BASÈ to taste Syrco Bakker’s inventive cross-cultural dishes. The maestro who led Pure C in the seaside Dutch town of Cadzand to two-Michelin-star status has embarked on an Asia tour ahead of the Q4 launch of his latest venture in Bali. After successful pop-ups at the Four Seasons Sayan resort in Ubud and Modena in Jakarta, Bakker will be bringing his craft to the ultra-luxe Capella properties of Singapore and Bangkok. Here’s what we know so far:</p>
<h5><strong><a href="https://capellahotels.com/en/capella-singapore/dining/cassia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capella Singapore</a>: August 18–19</strong></h5>
<p>Bakker is set to demonstrate his culinary innovation at Capella Singapore, where he will join forces with the resort’s Chinese Executive Chef Alan Chan for an exclusive two-night event at Cassia. Guests will be treated to a six-course menu blending Cantonese, Dutch, and Indonesian flavors, with Chef Bakker’s own heritage expressed in specialties influenced by his Dutch-Indonesian upbringing. Diners can look forward to a memorable preview of culinary creations that will be revealed at Syrco BASÈ before the year’s end.</p>

<h5><strong><a href="https://capellahotels.com/en/capella-bangkok/dining/cote-by-mauro-colagreco" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capella Bangkok</a>: August 25–26</strong></h5>
<p>Later this month, chef Bakker’s journey continues to Capella Bangkok, where he will team up with chef Davide Garavaglia at Côte by Mauro Colagreco. The epicurean adventure involves an eight-course dinner that marries the flavors of the French Riviera and Bali. Enjoyed against the backdrop of the Chao Phraya River, this experience promises to be a celebration of sustainably sourced ingredients, the chefs’ deep connection to their culinary roots, and a shared respect for seasonality and utilizing the local produce.</p>
