Kata Rocks’ Culinary Cinema Returns 28 December with Festive Season Shows

Back by popular demand, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Holiday kick off 2019 cinematic season

Kata Rocks’ Culinary Cinema returns due to popular demand for screenings of The Holiday (28 December) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (4 January, 2019) during the Festive Season. Another showing on 11 January 2019 features a surprise film that will be announced shortly.

Culinary Cinema guests receive a tray of numbered mystery boxes containing a bite-sized menu dégustation (tasting menu) custom-designed to enhance specific moments and punctuate dramatic highlights during the film. Every box contains culinary surprises ranging from delicious canapé-sized appetizers to flavour packed mini-cocktails. After a brief introduction on the running order by our Kata Rocks host, the lights dim the film begins.

As the story continues and plot thickens, food-matched moments are signalled on a nearby light box, designating which numbered package should be opened and enjoyed. Culinary Cinema menus are created to represent a liberal and creative gastronomic interpretation of a prevailing emotion, environment, turn-of-phrase or overall feeling playing out on screen.

The food-centric plots of both films are a perfect fit for Culinary Cinema’s innovative and original way to interpret film using the senses via aroma, texture and taste. The Holiday is a 2006 American romantic comedy filmed in both California and England that features holiday heartbreak, relationship angst and lots of delicious festive season food and cheer.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is sweet obsessed, making it an ideal Culinary Cinema choice. It is a 2005 musical fantasy comedy film directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, based on the 1964 British novel of the same name by Roald Dahl.

Tickets for Kata Rocks’ Culinary Cinema start from THB 1,500++ per person, please contact +66(076) 370 777 or dining@katarocks.com for information and reservations.
