Gastronomer’s Guide: Kingfisher Bay Resort on K’gari/Fraser Island

Sanjay Singh, executive chef at Kingfisher Bay Resort on in K’gari/Fraser Island, shares the delicious details of his signature dish

THE DISH
Island-side Penang Duck Curry
Combining incredibly tender slow-cooked confit duck legs with the authentic Penang curry fragrances of lemongrass, kaffir lime and coconut, this selection is arguably the island’s top choice twilight delight. Be sure to pair it with fine sharables like mapo tofu, tuna tataki… And save room for coconut ice cream or custard bao buns – very indulgent! 

THE CHEF

In that time, he has developed a passion for creating Asian, European and Pacific Island specialities. Based on his multicultural experience on both a personal and professional level, Sanjay’s goal at Kingfisher Bay Resort is to create a new island-style flavour, incorporating the cuisines of the Asian and Western worlds.
