Ensconced in the swanky M Resort & Hotel Kuala Lumpur is Monsieur Darren. The brainchild of redoubtable chef Darren Chin (who helms the Michelin-starred DC by Darren Chin), this pastry palace which features beautiful desserts encased in glass domes is the real-world interpretation of a long-held dream of Chin’s.
“It’s a side project that I have always wanted to create throughout my cooking career, but I’m not specialised in this field. I don’t know how to do it – I’m a hot kitchen chef and a cuisine chef. So it’s something that I’ve been building brick by brick. It actually started during the Covid-19 pandemic when we built our menu and offered cakes online. And now we’ve managed to materialise it to what it is today,” says Chin.
