Epicurean Artistry Meets Island Luxury - Chef Janice Wong's Edible Masterpieces Unveiled at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO

A Gourmet Spectacle: Chocolate Meets Maldivian Beauty

Maldives, 4th February 2025:

Culinary enthusiasts and dessert connoisseurs are in for an extraordinary treat as THE OZEN COLLECTION welcomes world-renowned pastry artist Janice Wong for an exclusive Maldivian-inspired edible art showcase at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO from 24th to 26th April 2025. This unique residency will blend gastronomy, art, and nature, offering guests an immersive experience featuring spectacular chocolate installations, interactive dessert workshops, and a one-of-a-kind degustation dinner.

A Chocolate Canvas: The Edible Coral Wall

As the centrepiece of this collaboration, Chef Wong will craft a towering three-metre edible chocolate wall—a breathtaking interpretation of the Maldives’ vibrant coral reefs. Made from sustainably sourced chocolate, the artwork will feature intricate reef-like cavities filled with hand-painted bonbons, inviting guests to engage in an interactive tasting journey. This awe-inspiring installation is set to redefine edible artistry against the backdrop of the island’s pristine waters.

Bespoke Dessert Experiences with a Culinary Icon

Guests can indulge in live dessert stations at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO’s overwater venues, where Chef Wong will present signature creations such as:

  • Yuzu Meringue Clouds – a delicate balance of citrusy freshness and airy sweetness.
  • Salted Caramel Lava Spheres – a molten explosion of rich caramel encased in a crisp shell.
  • Sommelier-Paired Dessert Wines – expertly curated to elevate each decadent bite.

An Exclusive Underwater Culinary Affair

On 24th April, an ultra-exclusive four-hands gourmet dinner at M6m, the resort’s underwater restaurant, will see Chef Wong collaborate with Executive Chef Alok to reinterpret Maldivian flavors through a multi-course dessert degustation. With only 40 seats available, this intimate experience promises a fusion of local ingredients and modernist pastry techniques, set against the mesmerizing backdrop of the Indian Ocean’s marine life.

Chocolate Art for the Young and Young-at-Heart

For families and young guests, Chef Wong will host daily chocolate art workshops, where participants will use chocolate crayons, rice paper, and miniature canvases to create personalized edible artworks. Each child will take home a handcrafted masterpiece, alongside a commemorative keepsake from the event.

A Celebration of Creativity, Nature, and Indulgence

“The Maldives’ natural beauty serves as an endless muse. At OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, I aim to blur the lines between art, nature, and gastronomy, crafting moments that linger on the palate and in the memory. This collaboration is an ode to imagination and sensory delight, and I cannot wait to share it with guests.”  

Indulgence Without Limits

Every aspect of this exclusive culinary experience is seamlessly included in the resort’s INDULGENCE™ Plan, ensuring guests can fully immerse themselves in gourmet luxury, sunset bonbon tastings, and exclusive one-on-one interactions with Chef Wong.
