Dreamworks Pictures’ The Hundred-Foot Journey will be released in theatres on 28 August 2014. What is interesting is that now you can not only go watch the movie, but also go enjoy a French-Indian 3-course fusion meal created exclusively by Saveur for the release of The Hundred-Foot Journey in Singapore.
The set meal consists of Seafood Bouillabaisse, Lamb Shoulder & Tarte and Au Citron at only S$36.90+++, available at Saveur Singapore Purvis Street & Far East Plaza outlets.
I was happy to be invited by Walt Disney to attend the media tasting session at Saveur in conjunction with the movie. I have been wanted to try out the food at Saveur after hearing all the good things about the restaurant.
What is interesting about this special set meal at Saveur is that it incorporates indian food elements into the french cuisine, just like what u will watch in the movie.
In Dreamworks Pictures’ The Hundred-Foot Journey, the opening of a new Indian restaurant in the south of France, next to a famous Michelin starred eatery , is nearly cause of an all out war between two establishments until the chilly chef proprietress of the French restaurant Madame Mallory recognises her rival’s undeniable brilliance for preparing masterful meals.
Seafood Bouillabaisse consist of sea bass, cod, mussel and clam served in a soup made from lobster and fish. If you like lobster bisque type of soup, you will enjoy this seafood based soup.
The lamb shoulder is braised and marinated with ‘curry de madras’ and served with coco bean cassoulet. The curry is pretty mild so most people including those who dont take chilli will be able to enjoy this dish.
Specially for the tasting session, the duck confit was offered as an alternative the lamb shoulder. Served with truffle mashed potato and shiitake mushrooms as your main dish instead, this dish was a winner. The duck is perfectly crisp on the outside with tender meat on the inside. The truffle mashed potato and shiitake mushrooms was a delectable combination.
The meal ends off with a wonderful deconstructed dessert, Tarte Au Citron, consisting of sable breton lemon curd, vanilla mousseline, lemon gelee, marshmallow and citrus tuille. This was a delightful dessert dish, the tangyness made it really refreshing and light on the tongue and the sweetness was a nice touch to the end of the meal.
