A CHEF’S STORY
DELISH
As the air cools, SkyCity ignites the season with DELISH — two months of indulgent dining, immersive events, and unforgettable gatherings.

Chef Story
Plates that shape the table.
Every great table has them — the dishes no one photographs but everyone remembers. The ones that quietly hold the meal together, that draw the second scoop before the main is even finished.
This season, our head chefs go back to those dishes. The sides that shaped the table and the unsung plates re-imagined for the season. Familiar flavours, elevated with care — available only for the season and the kind of food that brings the table together.
Available for a limited time.

Events
MASU: The Art of Tuna
Date: 27 May
Time: 7pm – 9.30pm

Join us at MASU for an immersive dining experience, celebrating the art of whole blue-fin tuna butchery with an interactive showcase led by Chef Nic Watt and the MASU team. Guests will witness the arrival of an exquisite whole tuna, presented on a staged trolley through the front doors before taking centre stage in our open kitchen.
Throughout the evening, our chefs will expertly break down the tuna, sharing insights on its prized cuts — from the rich O-toro belly to the lean Akami main back loin — while serving dishes that highlight their unique flavours and textures. Expect an evening of precision, craftsmanship, and unforgettable flavours.
