Award-winning Le Normandie at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Bangkok, is one of the oldest kids on the block regarding French cuisine, and is still going strong among critics. This historical restaurant perches above the famous author's wing, washed in gold and wrapped on two sides by massive glass panels; it may not offer the highest view of Thailand's 'Mother River', but perhaps the most sentimental. For a limited time, those with the good fortune to pull up a chair here are invited to sample the new Rougié Foie Gras Menu (THB 3,100++ per head). .
Created by Chef de Cusine Carlos Gaudencio, this four course extravaganza takes you on a tour with light appetizers that include white asparagus, thick sultry cappuccino foamed soups with Sauternes wine and truffles, and the Pièce de résistance, a dish of Beef Tournedos Rossini with Perigordine Sauce (savory tenderloin grilled to perfection served with seared Foie Gras and sweet garden vegetables.) Selected wines from France, Chile, and Italy add the perfect tartness needed to complement each of the rich foie gras platters. This will also be a once in a lifetime chance to sample the 'Foie Gras Truffle Surprise', a Chef-created decadent Foie Gras Ice Cream. The treat is actually quite subtle, mixed with a chocolate and liquor overtone to round out the flavors.
This Foie Gras menu is highly recommended for special occasions, particularly if the attendees love the finer things in life. Bring a good appetite, and don't forget to dress smart, you just might run into your favorite author here.
The exclusive dinner is only served on Thursday evenings at 19:00 - 22:30 hrs.
Four course menu and selection of wines THB 3,100++, amuse bouche, and Le Normandie Mignardises served with coffee or tea included.
