Step into the bustling heart of Bangkok this November 2024 and prepare to be swept away by a culinary spectacle of epic proportions. The stage is set for a gastronomic feast as Blue by Alain Ducasse, a Michelin-starred jewel in the city’s vibrant fine-dining scene, marks its fifth anniversary with an event that food aficionados won’t want to miss.
On the illustrious evening of Saturday, November 23rd, Blue by Alain Ducasse will serve as the theater for a dazzling four-hand collaboration, bringing together the culinary prowess of two renowned chefs. Chef Wilfrid Hocquet, the esteemed Executive Chef of Blue, invites the imaginative Chef Joris Rousseau of Hong Kong’s acclaimed Feuille to co-create an unforgettable dining experience. These two culinary virtuosos promise to weave together a symphony of flavors that artfully marries the finest French and local ingredients with a commitment to seasonality and sustainability.
The curated menu, an artistic expression priced at 7,500 Baht ++, will be offered for both lunch and dinner, presenting diners with a sensory journey through the avant-garde landscapes of contemporary French cuisine. Expect to be engulfed by an epicurean dance within the elegant confines of Blue by Alain Ducasse, where every dish tells a story and every bite is an ode to culinary excellence.
Transcending borders, our story takes us to the esteemed establishment of Feuille, nestled in the heart of Central, Hong Kong. At its helm is the Paris-born Chef Joris Rousseau, a culinary craftsman whose creations have not only earned Feuille a coveted Michelin star but also a Michelin Green star, highlighting a unique commitment to sustainability and nature-inspired cuisine.
Chef Joris Rousseau’s gastronomic journey is a tapestry woven with experiences from the kitchens of Michelin-starred titans like Guy Martin and Yannick Alléno. He brings to the table an ethereal alchemy of French techniques and a passion for organic, locally sourced ingredients. At Feuille, his dishes dance with the elegance of the natural life cycle, where each creation—from root to shoot—is a poetic reflection of the earth itself. Guests can savor delights such as cumin-egg-sweet corn, pumpkin-spiny lobster-saffron, and the enchanting mushroom-pigeon-blackcurrant, each plate a narrative written from nature’s perspective.
For gourmands seeking an extraordinary culinary voyage, this is a rare opportunity to witness the union of Chef Wilfrid Hocquet and Chef Joris Rousseau—two of Asia’s culinary luminaries—under one roof. Celebrate the milestone of five years of innovation and excellence at Blue by Alain Ducasse, where refined palates are destined to find joy.

This sounds like an incredibly unique dining experience, but isn’t 7,500 Baht a bit steep for a meal? I understand it’s Michelin-starred, but still, it’s quite an investment.
Considering the caliber of the chefs and the exclusivity of the event, I think it’s a reasonable price. Quality like this doesn’t come cheap!
I’d rather spend that money on a week’s groceries. I can’t understand why people pay so much just for a meal.
True, it’s not for everyone. But for those who appreciate high-end cuisine, it’s about the experience, not just the food.
I love seeing sustainability highlighted in high-end dining. More chefs should follow Chef Rousseau’s example.
Yeah, but isn’t sustainability just a buzzword these days? How sustainable can flying chefs around the world really be?
Good point, but it’s a step in the right direction. At least they’re raising awareness.
Just reading this makes me hungry! Does anyone know if they cater to specific dietary restrictions?
High-end places like this usually accommodate various dietary needs. Best to ask when making a reservation.
This sounds pretentious. Why can’t food just be food? All this ‘culinary dance’ and ‘epicurean journey’ jargon is just over the top.
I think it adds to the experience. It’s not just about eating; it’s about storytelling and artistry.
Maybe, but I think food should just taste good without needing a fancy story.
I’ll pass on this. Never been a fan of French cuisine – too heavy and too much butter for my liking.
I wish I could attend! Chef Joris Rousseau’s work sounds so enchanting. Those dish descriptions sound like pure art.
What’s the point of celebrating sustainability when such events are only accessible to the elite?
Good point, Frank, but these chefs are setting trends that might trickle down to more affordable venues eventually.
I wonder if Chef Wilfrid Hocquet will bring any surprises from his own culinary philosophy to the table.
It sounds like a show, rather than a meal. I can’t understand why anyone would spend so much for this.
It’s about more than just eating, Tommy. It’s experiencing the creativity and passion of world-class chefs.
I get that, but I’d rather eat something simple that’s hearty and filling.
Has anyone else been to Blue by Alain Ducasse? Would love to know if it’s worth the hype!
I’ve been! It was a wonderful experience, but you should go if you’re really into fine dining. It’s not for everyone.
Can’t wait to see what fusion dishes come out of this collaboration! Events like this highlight culinary innovation.
Seriously, more restaurants should focus on sustainably-sourced ingredients. It’s the future.
Agreed, but how do we ensure that all these sustainability claims are genuine? A lot of it could just be marketing.
I’ll be in Bangkok this month! Definitely need to see if I can snag a reservation!
I think events like these are great for culinary tourism. It’s a big draw for the city, bringing in food lovers globally.
