Cinema a la Carte – From the Screen to Your PlateWoman on Top, Samba Brazilian Steakhouse
Cinema a la Carte presents a new experience to KLites this year in the city’s first culinary film festival in an “event of flavours, cinema and solidarity.” Six restaurants around the city have prepared menus to pair with each scene in especially chosen movies. Both a film buff and a culinary expert walk diners through the experience, and guests are encouraged to partake in the discussion exchanging ideas on world cultures, our bonds with food, and their own unique perspectives.

Proceeds from the event go to Silent Teddies Bakery, a vocational training project by the Community Service Centre for the Deaf (CSCD). Dinner and movie menus are priced at RM130 per person, and seats must be booked in advance. The first three sessions were booked out weeks ahead of time. So, with only three dinners to go, (December 1, 2 and 8), it’s highly recommended you grab your tickets now so as not to miss out. See the flyer at the end of this post to find the remaining three restaurant and film pairings.
We visited the Brazilian Steakhouse, Samba, in Avenue K last night for a line-up of food from the south teamed with the film Woman on Top. The event was well organized, very friendly, and we got to enjoy gorgeous food and a fun film. Here’s a photo journal of our fabulous Brazilian meal.
