According to Chef de Cuisine Sami Leino, he wants to combine to the Menu Nordic outstanding Finnish culinary techniques mastered on Tallink Silja vessels, with a twist of Asia..
“Having worked in the culinary teams of several ships of our company’s fleet, I have noticed that our customers traditionally like pike perch and pork, and they also have a soft spot for Asian food. I am pleased that, as we head into the autumn season, I was able to create together with my team, a complete menu which brings those favourite elements together full of freshness, kick and great umami flavour to beautifully complement each other to the delight of our customers”, says Sami Leino, Chef de Cuisine on Silja Serenade.
