A CHEF'S CONFESSION
5th - 6th of September 2026, The Chow Kit

In collaboration with The Chow Kit, Krate is bringing A Chef's Confession all the way from Melaka to Kuala Lumpur - an immersive murder mystery dining set in the intrigue and elegance of 1930s Malaya.

Step into a world where Peranakan cuisine is served, secrets simmer beneath silk and silver, and nothing is quite what it seems. This is not just a meal, it's an investigation.

Guests will begin with a shared Peranakan meal, before being split into smaller groups to encounter characters, uncover clues and work together to crack the case. Whether you choose to role-play or simply observe, the mystery unfolds around you and you're part of the story. We look forward to having you join us for A Chef's Confession at The Chow Kit.
