Short Synopsis:	In this profile documentary, André Chiang the visionary Culinary Curator of the Eastern & Oriental Express, takes viewers on a sensory journey through the art of dining. Set against the backdrop of a luxurious train journey across Southeast Asia, Chang explores how food transcends mere sustenance, becoming a bridge between cultures, landscapes, and memories. With every stop, fresh local ingredients are sourced, creating dishes that blend the rich culinary traditions of the region. From the fragrant Malaysian spices in the Chinese-style Panang curry to a Mediterranean-Southeast Asian fusion of bouillabaisse, Chang’s creations bring each destination to life on the palate. Interwoven with stunning visuals of the moving train, shifting landscapes, and meticulously crafted dishes, the film captures the magic of how cuisine, like cinema, tells a story—inviting diners to experience a journey not only through taste but through culture and place.
