The dining experience was exceptional, with every dish crafted thoughtfully and bursting with flavor.

From smoky Tandoori Jhinga with a zesty mango twist to the vibrant explosion of Delhi Chaat, every bite was an experience.

And let’s not forget the perfectly crafted trio—lamb croquette, tapioca samosa, and beetroot pâté. A true celebration of taste and creativity!

Which one would you try first? 🤔💭

While a few minor tweaks—such as softer lighting and more relaxed, approachable staff interactions—could enhance the experience, the restaurant is already on a strong path. It is undoubtedly a place we would recommend and look forward to revisiting.

✨ What happens when a dream meets the perfect opportunity? History is made. ✨

When Leslie approached Jenniffer Ong to launch his newest restaurant, SOL @ THE MET, he had one bold request:

“Let’s make it different—something like a ball.”

Little did he know, this idea would resonate deeply with Jenniffer.

Hosting a grand ball had always been her dream—a vision of elegance, celebration, and community.

And just like that, the spark of an idea turned into something much bigger: the first-ever Hospitality Ball in Asia, a tribute to the resilience and artistry of the hospitality industry.

On this unforgettable night, over 200 esteemed guests, including industry leaders and luminaries, gathered to celebrate.

Among them was the honorable HRH Prince Norodom Naravong (ref pic 4), adding royal grandeur to an already momentous occasion.

Together, we raised our glasses to honor the people who make every dining experience, every stay, and every moment in hospitality truly magical.

This marks the beginning of a new tradition, where dreams, passion, and collaboration come together to create history.

Stay tuned as we share more about the journey that brought this vision to life! ✨
