Notably, his latest venture, Co Mai, is a heartfelt tribute to his family, poised to be a beacon for generations to come.
Chef Didier’s culinary odyssey began in his hometown of Hennebont, a region in Brittany in Northwestern France. There he found his earliest inspirations in the fields and in his beloved grandmother’s kitchen.Looking for adventure, Didier embarked on a transformative journey. His culinary apprenticeship commenced at the tender age of seventeen, honing his skills in various French establishments. However, the siren call of distant lands, with their exotic spices and bountiful harvests, soon beckoned.
His sojourn led him to the far reaches of Africa, Asia, and remote islands, where he crafted gastronomic delights for dignitaries, from African heads of state to luminaries in Bora Bora. Among his distinguished patrons were the late King of Cambodia, Samdech Euv Norodom Sihanouk, and the King of Malaysia. Didier’s culinary prowess became a global phenomenon, as he garnered the esteem of over forty heads of state, including Chirac, Castro, Clinton, Bush, and Putin.
The chef’s heart found its true home in Hanoi, Vietnam, where he decided to lay down his roots. His recent sojourn brought him to Cambodia, where he curated an exquisite 5-course set menu at Do Forni, Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra. Each dish is a testament to Chef Didier’s artistry, seamlessly melding local ingredients with French culinary finesse. This culinary extravaganza promises an evening of delectable revelations.
From the vertical delight of Belon oysters with lemongrass-infused broth to the treasure trove of Brittany blue lobster, every dish tells a story. The roasted Breton pork resonates with provincial flavours, while Brillât Savarin cheese embraces citrus notes and Khmer mango. As the evening culminates with the delightful ‘Pomme Surprise’, one can’t help but be swept away by the artistry and passion woven into each creation.
This is more than a dining experience; it’s a journey seen through the eyes of a culinary maestro. It’s a moment to savour not just the flavours on the plate, but the stories, traditions, and artistry that brought them to life.
