Pimalai Resort & Spa, the luxury resort surrounded by nature on Koh Lanta, has invited Bruno Menard, the celebrated French chef who was once awarded three Michelin stars, back to the pure shores of southern Thailand to host his second annual “Gastronomic Journey”.This exclusive epicurean evening will see Chef Bruno create an extraordinary four-course dinner for guests at Seven Seas Wine Bar and Restaurant, Pimalai’s stunning seafront dining destination. The dinner will take place on the evening of Sunday 31st March 2019 – almost exactly a year after Chef Bruno hosted his inaugural culinary event at Pimalai. The Gastronomic Journey will now become an annual occasion.
At this year’s event, guests will be treated to a refined menu that focuses on light, vibrant flavours. While the dishes will have their roots in French cuisine, they will also reflect Chef Bruno’s personal culinary journey which has taken him all across Asia, including to Japan. To ensure a deep connection with Koh Lanta, many ingredients will be sourced from the resort’s own herb garden.
The evening will commence with an amuse-bouche of borscht emulsion with marinated mushroom, followed by an appetiser of confit salmon with caviar, asparagus and Chantilly sauce. The main course will showcase lightly poached turbot with white wine and extra virgin olive oil emulsion, ikura and condiments, before the menu concludes with a dessert of textured red fruit with espuma de crème Catalane.
“We are thrilled to welcome Chef Bruno back to Koh Lanta for another amazing evening of gastronomy at Pimalai Resort & Spa. Our aim is to establish our resort as a renowned gastronomic destination. This takes time of course, but our ability to attract world-class chefs like Bruno Menard is a wonderful reflection of the progress we’re making. We want to inspire guests through food and create culinary occasions that diners will treasure forever,” said Franck de Lestapis, Pimalai’s long-serving general manager.
