Lilac Wine x Shehan Setunga.

"On the Grill' is a series of collaborations between Melbourne bar Lilac Wine and guest chefs to showcase diverse cuisines using their signature wood fired stove and smoker.

Shehan Setunga, also known as Juppé, doubles as a Sri Lankan-inspired culinarian and DJ.

The sensory experience of taste and sound began with an innovative four course menu of:

Toddy fermented flatbread

Buffalo cream cheese, seaweed, nai miris chutney, sunflower seeds

Black tea poached octopus bathala curry, lunu miris

Negombo black beef osso bucco, wood apple jus

Charred eggplant moju, mustard greens, cashew cream

Mung bean salad, pickled starfruit, devilled peanuts, achcharu dressing

Bibikkan, ceylon cinnamon butterscotch, crème fraîche

After the kitchen pass, Juppé took to the decks and delivered upbeat electronic tracks influenced by folk and jazz from the pearl of the orient.
