Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit hotel cel-ebrates world literary heritage with a most uncommon and intriguing festive dining experience of unparalleled gas-tronomic flair, presented in a fairy tale

theme inspired by the works of such renowned authors as Aesop, Brothers Grimm and Han Christian Andersen.

Hosted by — L’Appart — Sofitel Sukhum-vit’s ‘fabled’ French Bistro, the Christmas Eve 5-Course Fairy Tale Dinner Menu blends the timeless enchantment of childhood tales with the kitchen skills and singular cooking talents of Chef de Cuisine, Chef Jerome Deconinck and his team, for a unique and innovative epicurean odyssey. 

The parable-peppered dining experience begins with an Amuse bouche of Crispy Truf-fled Camembert Aumoniere based on ‘The Fox and the Crow’, a story which teaches us to be wary of flatterers at the risk of losing our cheese. But unlike the vainglorious crow, L’Appart assures guests’ curd security, with the pungent browned-melted cheese safely ensconced within a pastry cup ‘aumoniere’ and served in the original rustic wooden Au Lait Cru packaging.

No sooner did the wily fox beat a hasty retreat with his plundered morsel than did Little Red Riding Hood come skipping merrily through the woods bedecked in her namesake crimson cloak, imaginatively reproduced here as a quartet of Foie Gras Lollipops, with raspberry and sherry gelee representing the titular hoodie. The minimalistic dish is served in an eco friendly, live-growing wheatgrass terrarium, each bite-sized “pop” resplendent in its diminutive crimson chapeau.

Tragically, the amphibian star of the Princess and the Frog — here a seared Scallop and Frog Beignet — does not fare as well as his literary

But guests will certainly be tucking in ‘happily ever after’ to the tender, breaded frog legs and plump Hokkaido shellfish medallions, served on a bright green lily pad of parsley “bar-lotto” (that is, barley health-consciously standing in for risotto) and wisp garlic emulsion pond mist.

A tale of emergent beauty and the perils of judging others on appearances alone, the story of The Ugly Duckling is the inspiration for the Pan-roasted Duck fillet, its grill-dark-ened coat masking a rosy-rare inner beauty and the dish’s flavour blooming into a hand-some melange of sauted red apple, black sesame cream and black pepper tuile.

The Pre dessert course arrives in a petit valise in the form of a (hand-made) gin-gerbread house, but the actual Afters treat isn’t the cookie-constructed bungalow of legend, but rather the couple residing within. With a flourish, Hansel and Gretel emerge from the house’s roof — ‘Hansel’ an aperitif glass of Passionfruit, gin and vodka jelly, and sister Gretel a Ginger-bread espuma (note: actual gingerbread in foamed form) with orange gelee and cinnamon, topped with a thyme-infused disc of sugar-crunchy.

whack and gleefully pick through the resultant chocolatey rubble and confec-tionary debris.

After all is said and done… and eaten, coffee and loose leaf teas are served with a platter of delightful yuletide-themed mig-nardises including chocolate truffles and meringue snowmen.

Translated from French as ‘the apart-ment’, L’Appart is not so named lightly. The sprawling 32nd-floor venue is an exact, fully functioning re-creation of a chic Paris apart-ment complete with living room, library-bar, city-view balcony and seating-enabled show kitchen, all inspired by the designs of pioneering 19th century French city plan-ner Georges-Eugène Haussmann.

The strikingly authentic décor bears all the trappings of a high end Paris-ian flat, right down to the finest detail: gleaming oak wood furnishings, black and white chequered floors, burgundy hued walls and whimsical, antique-look

bric-a-brac highlight the distinctly Belle Epoque vibe.

L’Appart’s eminently talented Chef Jerome spent his professional formative years in his native France, learning the finer points of French cooking at La Ciboulette under Michelin star chef George Paccard, later serving as Chef de Cuisine at La Pe rgoiese in Tokyo.

The transparent sugar shard remains unseen until tapped with a spoon, creat-ing an uncanny “black ice” layer effect, as on a frozen-over skating pond in the dead of winter.

The grand finale Dessert — Sofitel Sukhumvit’s Bûche de noël 2016 — is as much of a triumph of artistic and techni-cal skill as it is an adventure to tuck into. Presented as a hand-moulded, 54 per-cent-cocoa chocolate shell cast from a length of actual bamboo stalk, this candy log ‘treasure chest’ is bursting with sweet-tooth satisfying goodness. A peek inside reveals Passion fruit marshmallow fluff rolled in Mango jelly, while Fresh mango and Coconut mousse sorbet complete the balance of tart and sweet. Bits of rice crispy and a cookie crumble ‘sand bar’ provide a crunchy textural counterpoint to the dish’s overall smoothness. Diners can gracefully lift off the log’s top half and daintily spoon out the contents, or simply give it a good

Once upon a wonderland, a French fairytale story-book told a story of a City of Angels, and in this most wonderful time of

year, SO Sofitel Bangkok reinterprets this magical tale through the annual Bûche de Noël yule log Christmas tradition.

“The festive season is about bring-ing people together over enchanting moments, and Sofitel’s Art De Noël helps to recreate this magic in our hotel during holiday season,” said Mr. Yves Mudry, General Manager of SO Sofitel Bangkok.

The architecture of SO Sofitel Bang-kok draws references from a treasured

hardback book, a design feature per-fectly suited to this year’s “Once Upon a Time” concept for the 2016 festive season. Similarly, guests visiting SO Sofitel Bangkok are invited on a jour-ney into the pages of a French fairytale book, with stories spun with elements of traditional Thai culture.

Sitting atop a page of the open book is perhaps the most striking feature of SO Sofitel Bangkok’s Bûche de Noël 2016 — the head of Ravana, rising from the pages of the story. Also known as Thotsakan from the Ramayana epic, the protector giant also stands guard at Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, in Bangkok. Hence, the deity is used to symbolize a

welcome to SO Sofitel Bangkok.Adding drama to the pastry mas-

terpiece are traditional Thai motifs, bringing the fairytale to life. Beneath the artistry, the magic of both worlds are told through ingredients, with a decadent French sponge choc-olate cake base complemented with an indulgent coconut & kaffir lime cream.

Dating back to the 6th century, the tradition of yule logs began with the burning of freshly-cut wood when families would come together for a festive gathering over the Christmas holiday. Centuries later, Parisian bakers revived this custom in the form of log cakes, a tradition Sofitel

has carried into the 21st century.Staged every year, a Sofitel Bûche

de Noël log cake design contest offers pastry chefs stationed in Sofitel hotels around the world the chance to unleash their creative flair and out-do each other in the name of friendly competition.

SO Sofitel Bangkok’s Bûche de Noël 2016 will be available at Chocolab until 1st January 2017. Guests can also have a delicious ‘happily ever after’ of their very own for Bt3,900 net with 48 hours advanced notice.
