CAMBODIA | Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, the luxury hotel on the doorstep of ancient Khmer archaeological sites, will host a special four-hands dinner.
Uniting the talents of the hotel’s Executive Sous Chef Dorn Doeurt and guest Chef Seng Sothea, an exclusive five-course meal, known as “The Khmer Table & Canvas,” will be held at the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant 1932.
Both chefs are proudly rooted in Siem Reap's cultural heart and will celebrate Cambodia's rich gastronomic heritage through their exceptional craftsmanship and artistry.
Executive Sous Chef Dorn Doeurt, a Siem Reap native and expert in authentic Khmer cuisine and modern gastronomy, has earned praise for his acclaimed series of Khmer tasting menus at 1932, inspired by Cambodia's significant historical eras.
“It is a true honour to collaborate with Chef Seng Sothea and to spotlight the depth and beauty of Khmer cuisine on this special evening,” said Chef Dorn Doeurt.
“Through this four-hands dinner we can share the flavours, stories and heritage of Cambodia with our guests in a memorable and artistic way.”
For the past five years at his Siem Reap restaurant Mahob Khmer and now at his new farm-to-table restaurant Lum Orng, Chef Seng Sothea has dedicated himself to elevating traditional Cambodian food while preserving the country’s culinary heritage, much of which was lost during the Khmer Rouge regime of the late 1970s.
He grows much of his own produce at his organic gardens and farm near Beng Mealea. His career has taken him to luxury hotel kitchens worldwide, including Le Méridien in Siem Reap and the Grand Hyatt in Dubai.
As part of the dining menu for the event, there will be standouts including a sous vide sea bass crusted with rice paddy herbs, paired with Amok velouté, coconut foam, and a mushroom and preserved soya bean casserole, alongside a roasted duck breast finished with Kulen honey, eggplant caviar, morning glory, and a lemongrass and sour leaves gravy.
To complement the dining experience, Raffles Resident Artist Nou Sary will bring each course to life with a live painting performance. Inspired by the chefs’ creations, each piece will be created in real time throughout the evening, transforming culinary expression into visual art. Upon completion, the ceramic artworks will be available for purchase.
Limited seats are available for this exclusive evening, held on the 16th of October.
