The Pavilion Street Market Ferndale Presents: A Two-Night Indonesian Culinary Experience, Featuring Chef Gina Onyx of Komodo Kitchen
Known as “The First Lady of Exotic,” Chef Gina Onyx is the creative force behind Komodo Kitchen—where art, spice, and storytelling intertwine in every dish. Her acclaimed Detroit pop-ups—often whispered about as “the hottest table in town”—captivate guests through every sense: sight, scent, sound, and soul.
This November, Chef Gina brings that mystical island magic to The Pavilion Street Market Ferndale for two unforgettable nights of culinary and cultural exploration.
An Evening of Story, Spice & Soul
Your exclusive five-course dinner features her signature Nasi Rendang—the celebrated Sumatran coconut-braised dish that captured the world’s attention when a CNN International poll named Beef Rendang the #1 Most Delicious Food in the World, and Chef Gordon Ramsay hailed it as “a masterpiece of slow-cooked perfection.”
From the fragrance of ylang-ylang, jasmine, pandan, and lemongrass to the vibrant greens of Gado Gado and the deep, earthy spices of Rendang—each course is a love letter to Indonesia’s 15,000-island archipelago, served Komodo-style: warm, intimate, and rich with story.

Important Notes
Chef Gina’s dishes are crafted from authentic Indonesian ingredients and abundant natural herbs, spices, and nuts drawn from across the archipelago. While many items may be free of common allergens, the kitchen uses a wide range of ingredients, so cross-contamination is possible. Because of the immersive nature of this event, no menu substitutions or modifications will be offered. The menu is naturally gluten-free.
