Exclusive Michelin Chef Experiences at Anantara

Bangkok (Thailand) – October 15, 2012 – Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa’s signature Pacific Rim restaurant Trader Vic’s proudly presents a Michelin Star Chef from France between 14 – 21 November 2012. Chef Nicolas Isnard is offering a superlative gourmet experience at Trader Vic’s, and will also be creating a unique cooking class.

Marrying the refined culinary flair of Southern France, Chef Nicolas is famed for dishing up distinctive rustic flavours using provincial produce in his presentation of sublime old school French cuisine. As the owner of L’Auberge de la Charme restaurant in France, which was awarded a Michelin Star within less than a year of opening, Chef Nicolas is a master at re-inventing classic and traditional French dishes with modern techniques.

For his guest chef appearance at Trader Vic’s, Chef Nicolas invites his colleague Chef David Le Comte to fuse this restaurant’s unique Pacific Rim flavours with a dash of provincial French panache, in a collection of culinary journeys.

Savour a special six course dinner for THB 3,600++ per person. Commence with a surprise Amuse Bouche, followed by a Flower of Sea Bass Carpaccio and Mai Tai Sherbet. Tantalise the taste buds with a Frozen Ginger Vichyssoise with Aquitaine Caviar, before a seafood dish of Tiger Prawn with Tamarin Condiment. Move onto a succulent Cube of Beef Filet with BBQ Sauce, Artichoke and Blood Orange, before a sweet Raspberry, Lime and Coco dessert.

In addition a special a la carte menu invites diners to select from an extensive menu of impeccable creations. Starter highlights include a Lobster Salad, and Pan Fried Foie Gras with Oyster and Kaffir Lime. Michelin star mains pay tribute to the finest land and sea ingredients, from a Lobster with Wasabi Hummus and Lemongrass Broth, to a Suckling Pig with Pineapple and Passion Jus.

Guests wishing to step behind the scenes of the Michelin Chef world can sign up for an exclusive three course cooking class with Chef Nicolas on Saturday 17 November for THB 3,500++ per person at Trader Vic’s kitchen.

Editor’s Note:
For hundreds of years throughout Thailand, people would leave a jar of water outside their house to provide refreshment and extend a welcome to the passing traveller. Anantara is taken from an ancient Sanskrit word that means ‘without end’, symbolizing this sharing of water and the heartfelt hospitality that lies at the core of every Anantara experience.

From lush jungles to pristine beaches and legendary deserts to cosmopolitan cities, Anantara currently boasts 19 stunning properties located in Thailand, the Maldives, Bali, Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates and will see new openings in China in 2012.
