To mark its first anniversary, Stage, a casual French fine dining restaurant, will today present its "Restaurant Stage x Chef Olivier Limousin" event -- an occasion marked by an exclusive 10-course dinner.
The event is a collaboration between Stage's chef-patron Jay Sangsingkeaw and French guest chef, the Michelin-starred Olivier Limousin. The two used to work together at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon Bangkok, where Limousin, as the executive chef, led the team to one-starred Michelin glory back in 2018.
Born and raised in Vendee, France, Limousin's professional accomplishments include years of working at many star-studded establishments around the world, including the two Michelin-starred Amphyclès restaurant and the three Michelin-starred Le Taillevent restaurant, both in Paris, before joining the team of legendary Joel Robuchon.
In 2004, he opened La Table de Joel Robuchon in Paris, which achieved two stars; before proceeding to launch L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon London, which was also granted two stars.
Jay, a Thai native, is also trained in French cuisine and she is the only Thai person to have worked at the original Joel Robuchon restaurant in Paris.
The special culinary collaboration set to take place tonight is a showcase of both the chefs' love for fine Gallic cuisine through imaginative interpretations of their favourite French dishes.
Classic recipes will come with a playful contemporary twist while continuing to pay respect to the ingredients. Highlights of the menu include Le Caviar lobster consommé in jelly form, topped with Creme du Barry and Kristal Caviar; homemade choux pastry stuffed with sour cream and chives, topped with premium Bafun sea urchin roe from Japan; homemade tart served with onion confit and bacon, topped with aromatic shaved Perigord winter black truffle; and, last but not least, langoustine scampi ravioli with truffle and foie gras sauce.
There will also be Dover sole fillet with a layer of mushroom mousse, pickled fennel, seasonal bouchot mussels and bacon dashi broth; pan-roasted French quail stuffed with foie gras, served with homemade honey sauce, salad and secret mashed potatoes.
