In addition, Wicked Spoon chefs will feature an assortment of Asian-inspired bites as well as local favorites Fukuburger and Raku will offer their own take on night market fare. Resort mixologists Christopher Hopkins and Mariena Mercer will create specialty cocktails with an Asian flare.

The event ends with the Dim Sum, Bloody Mary & Mahjong Brunch on Sunday, Oct. 6. Susur Lee from Top Chef Masters and Lee in Toronto will offer his Cantonese-inspired fare to guests at Bamboo Pool as they design their own bloody Marys with Asian ingredients.
