Let’s plan your dinner

My secret in the kitchen is treating every meal as a masterpiece, where passion and the finest ingredients come together to create something truly special.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook to bring people together

For me, cooking is embracing creativity and transforming it into something that brings people together. I focus on crafting experiences that spark joy and create lasting memories, not just serving dishes.

I’ve learned from top kitchens and from home

I trained at KDU where I completed my diploma in culinary arts, then sharpened my skills in restaurants like Nadodi KL and Odette. Most importantly, I learned the heart of cooking from my grandmother, and I bring that spirit into every menu I serve.

I treat every plate like a masterpiece

My philosophy is simple: I treat every meal as a masterpiece. I cook with passion, respect the finest ingredients, and bring them together in a way that feels truly special for you and your guests.

Brandon’s Menus

I offer curated multi-course menus for private dining at home—ranging from vibrant local flavors and chef’s specials to Italian and French-inspired experiences. I tailor the flow, pacing, and details to your occasion so your evening feels seamless and memorable.

Stories and testimonials

Really enjoyed the meals made by Chef Brandon. He was professional thoughout the dinner, gave us an experience that we could never forget. His "Ikan Bakar" was the best dish for me, just perfect in every sense of the word. We also love the taco chicken masala. Would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

It was an incredible experience for our couple to have Chef Brandon Rodrigues with us the whole day! We discussed the menu in details and main requirement not to add spices few days before. I appreciate it was a challenge from the beginning, but Chef Brandon nailed it. The team arrived early morning with all required equipment, and we were able to start the day with an amazing oatmeal on almond milk with berries and chia. Each meal was well explained and nicely served to us. We enjoyed bouquet of flavours from cherry foie gras to ratatouille with pomegranates on a wholewheat taco, from crab remoulade sandwich to creamy potato-leek soup (lactose free), from crepe au citron in desserts to mix berry tart with lemon curd. Each meal was professionally cooked and served with constant attention to details. We enjoyed our day with such service and recommend everyone to try, we definitely will reach out to BR Private Dining to enjoy this experience again but now with our friends and extended family. Chef Brandon and BR Private Dining deserve the trust, just be opened to this new experience and work on the menu.

The Riddle Journey wasn’t just a meal—it was an experience that spoke in flavors, textures, and emotions. Each course whispered a clue, each bite pulled me deeper into a delicious enigma that asked me to not just taste, but to feel and interpret. The journey began with a hush—cool scallop ceviche bathed in coconut and passionfruit, as if the ocean kissed the tropics. The soft sweetness dissolved on my tongue, just before a chilli strawberry foam tingled my lips like a secret begging to be told. It was the kind of appetizer that didn’t shout—it invited you in. Then came the conflict. A crisp sea bass taco, bold and bright with spiced mango and pickled jalapeño, made me sit up and pay attention. It played like a plot twist—unexpected, fiery, refreshing. But the smoked prawn ravioli? That was poetry. A smoky hush balanced with peach saffron, citrus oil, and dill. It didn’t try to impress—it knew it was unforgettable. By the time the mains arrived, I was fully invested. The tarragon-crusted lamb was a slow unraveling of comfort and complexity. Truffle aioli, pickled blueberries, mashed potatoes—it was hearty, tender, and slightly haunted. It tasted like a revelation, like a past remembered. And then the soft shell crab—fragile, powerful, and unexpected. The crab curry wrapped around the rice like silk around the waist of a mystery woman. Every note—ginger, apricot, lemon, fresh herbs—felt intentional. I didn’t speak. I just listened. And when dessert came—apple tarte tartin with cinnamon caramel and butter pecan ice cream—it was the exhale. The sweet answer at the end of a curious question. It didn’t need to be loud. It needed to be right—and it was. If food could speak, The Riddle Journey would be a love letter, a challenge, and a secret all at once. The chef doesn’t just cook—he creates emotion. This wasn’t about what was plated. This was about what it meant. ✨ A full sensory mystery unraveled, bite by bite. And I’m still thinking about the answer.

I hired Chef Brandon Rodrigues from Take a Chef to cook for us on my husband's birthday. We are an American couple, traveling the world, and staying in a flat in KL for 3 months. We have never before hired a personal chef. The experience was outstanding. Both Chef Brandon and his assistant were exceptional at their craft. They were engaging and interesting and extremely nice. The dishes were beautiful and delicious. My husband was extremely pleased as well. We highly recommend Take a Chef, and Chef Brandon, for anyone who wants a fun, relaxing, delicious experience!
