This October, Padma Resort Legian will host “Flavours of Latin & Nikkei,” a special two-day dining event that welcomes Guest Chef Silverio Martinez to collaborate with the resort’s own Chef Juan Carlos Jara Eyzaguirre.
Chef Silverio Martinez, Head Chef at CasaLena, a Latin American grill in Jakarta, is known for his passion for wood fire cooking and his ability to bring out the depth of Latin flavours. His career has taken him to acclaimed kitchens across Asia and Mexico including a role as Executive Chef with Marriott International in his home country.
At Padma Resort Legian, Chef Juan Carlos Jara Eyzaguirre, the Executive Sous Chef, is the driving force behind TENKAI Japanese Nikkei Restaurant, curating its menus and shaping the unique dining experience. This event will mark a meaningful milestone with his first collaboration since joining the resort. Born in Peru, Chef Juan Carlos has more than 14 years of international experience in Brazil, China, Uruguay, Turkey, Qatar, and Indonesia. At TENKAI, he brings new energy to Nikkei cuisine, introducing dishes that connect personal stories with culinary creativity. His recent highlights include Parihuela Udon inspired by his father’s favourite meal featuring shrimp, udon, and Japanese-Peruvian spices; Ise Ebi Popcorn, lobster tempura with passion fruit; and Tako, slow-cooked octopus with anticuchos and huancaína sauces.
Both chefs share a unique bond as they are both South American, and this collaboration will see them draw from their shared heritage to create an authentic yet innovative dining experience.
