South-East Asian gastronomy interpreted by six of the region’s most acclaimed international chefs will be on the menu for charity at Orient-Express’ beachside hideaway Napasai in Koh Samui from 23-25 February 2011.

The intensive three-day gourmet extravaganza is showcasing the gastronomy of five countries: Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Burma and Indonesia.

The gourmet adventure is a unique collaboration by top chefs from six elite Orient-Express hotels and resorts from each destination, coordinated by Napasai’s internationally-renowned French Executive Chef Gilles Galli.

The trio of events opens on 23 February with a signature dinner menu highlighting Asian specialties by each of the six chefs. The price of this 5 courses menu started from US$37.

On 24 February they team-up to create one of the most diverse South-East Asian gastronomic buffets ever served in Koh Samui, priced from US$46.

The one-off showcase of regional cuisine is completed with a Gala Dinner priced from US$56 on 25 February 2011.
