The second edition of the Chef’s Table with Singleton delighted Kampala’s gourmet enthusiasts on Saturday evening in a memorable, intimate setting at Kardamom & Koffee.
The exclusive event gathered an intimate crowd of 40 guests for an evening of indulgent flavours and soulful music, offering a luxury dining experience elevated by the renowned single malt, Singleton.
At the heart of the evening was Chef Sho, who brought guests “back to school” with a playful, refined twist on nostalgic boarding school meals. His three-course menu stirred up memories of simpler times, but with a touch of gourmet sophistication.
The night kicked off with a starter featuring sweet potatoes paired with a peanut butter sauté, a nod to familiar comfort foods, but with a delightful, inventive twist. For the main course, Chef Sho served up posho with a “beefy twist,” adding depth and richness to the classic meal.
Dessert was a refreshing take on pastries, providing a light and satisfying finish. The Singleton single malt whisky which adorned the tables complemented each course, enhancing flavours and adding a refined balance to the dining experience.
Speaking about his inspiration, Chef Sho shared, “High school was tonight’s inspiration. My goal was to take people on a journey; a taste of their childhood but transformed in a way that reminds them how good life can be. The joy in the room confirmed I’d achieved just that.”
Bersi Mesgna, the event organizer, remarked on the success of the evening, saying, “The Chef’s Table is about crafting unforgettable experiences that blend exquisite dining with moments that touch the heart. Seeing everyone engaged in the experience, sharing stories and enjoying the meal was a reminder of why we do this.”
Singleton’s presence, as always, added an elegant touch to the occasion. A dedicated Singleton bar offered guests bottomless cocktails throughout the evening, allowing everyone to enjoy a continuous flow of unique, expertly crafted drinks.
Throughout the dinner, Kabera Angel Amahoro serenaded the guests with an enchanting acoustic set. Her soulful, melodic voice lent the perfect ambiance which evidently created an atmosphere that was both relaxing and uplifting for the guests during the exceptional experience.
