Moments is special for a number of reasons. Firstly it is overseen by Chef Carme Ruscalleda. Born into a peasant and merchant family and trained as a butcher to take over her family's grocery store with a butcher section, she transformed herself into the world's only female chef with 7 Michelin stars across three restaurants in Spain and Japan. Self-taught and a perfectionist, she is such an inspiration, there is even a Harvard Business School case study about her story cooking, managing teams, running a family business and constantly reinventing herself. I am a fan girl.

Second, it was recommended by our trusted Spaniard source.

Third, it is housed in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, my most favourite hotel experience in the world.

Can't wait to go.
