Brilliant Southern Thai food in the heart of Bangkok The study and exploration of Thai food have been gaining purchase for some time. I don’t mean the clichéd staples of pad Thai and som tam, packaged and presented in a swanky setting, but a widening appreciation of its versatility and regional brilliance. Honing in on a particular region, however, one can dive deeper, uncovering the many stories, ingredients, products, suppliers, producers, recipes and regional nuisances. This is chef Supaksorn Jongsiri’s direction and culinary inspiration, drawing on his grandmother’s southern cooking and transforming the memories and flavours of his encounters with southern Thai people, and the products and recipes of the region. The stories at Sorn are, therefore, ones of personal pride for Chef Ice. They are vivid, the presentations beautiful and the flavours explosive; this is no comprimise cooking, plates that smash you in the face with their rising and falling temperatures and liberal slathering of provincial chillies, threatening the tongue and the arsehole. A meal here is a brave step into the unknown, into the depths of southern hospitality and cooking, and into the mind and family sentimentality of Chef Ice.

Wonderful dining experience in heritage building A dinner at Potong takes you through the culinary mind of chef Pam, who has taken over an old 5 story building from her family in Chinatown. A meal here is equally entertaining, exciting and delicious. The duck served as a sharing plate was my highlight of the meal.

Finally had a chance to dine at the most talked about restaurant in Bangkok GAA. Garima Arora, the head chef at GAA, was voted Asia’s Best Female Chef 2019, the only Indian woman to have won, so far. One MichelinStar GAA might be new to the game but it's winning hearts around. The restaurant is intimate and stretches to three floors but with different dining feel. As you read the exciting menu, the ingredients will all sound so familiar from our childhood (especially as an Indian). Like caramelized milk, banana bread, jackfruit vegetable, khakra, porkribs. What also stands out is the creative addition of local fresh fruits to the dishes. As the curtain unfolds and takes the stage, you’ll be mind-blown by the creations from those ingredients. Who knew such a simple ingredient like baby corn can taste even better! The grand presentation of Savory Betel Leaf was the highlight of the meal that arrived on a single leaf wedged between dry branches. Some of the best dishes on the menu were Unripe Jackfruit and Pickles, Liquid Banana bread with Thailand Caviar, Blue swimmer crab with pomegranate juice, spicy shallot, Chicken liver, langan, Caramelised milk skin, beef, yeast aquafaba. We could taste the strong Indian cooking accompanied by fresh Thailand produce. Chef insists on eating some of the dishes using our hands to get the most flavour out. Being a sweet tooth person was left asking for more when it came to desserts. We tried the Burnt Coconut sugar Ice Cream with pork floss and Chocolate betel leaf (which is nothing but a fancy paan!). The menu did not finish on a strong note but otherwise a very satisfying and interesting meal. So, the question is should you really travel to Bangkok to taste GAA? I say Hell Yes! GAA successfully captures the taste of different ingredients and combines them beautifully to tell a story!

A dizzying smack of colour with pungent fish sauces and recipes not shy on spice I loved my meal at Baan Tepa Culinary Space. A beautiful, family-home setting and a genuine farm-to-table philosophy with refreshing, sometimes radical, rethinking of Thai cuisine and the modern Thai tasting menu. A dizzying smack of colour with pungent fish sauces and recipes not shy on spice, the menu weaving down from the northern reaches of the country, through the central ranges, and towards the fearsome, hot, sultry south - chef Tam Chudaree Debhakam does pre-warn you about this, but I’m all for spicy depths and fiery flashes, all the hot, prickly, sour and acidic smashes of delightful Thai loveliness. A few examples of what to expect include a trio of appetisers from the North, Central and Southern regions of Thailand:- North: Tamarillo Sorbet, Namprik Ong, Pork Crackling; Central: Lon Miso, Preserved Fish, Charcoal Tartlet; and South: Kao Kwai Namprik, Kapi, Cumin Aioli, Pork Bacon, Cumin Leaves Tempura. And there is “Fishtake” which is a giant Trevally fish with Shiitake Mushrooms, Mushroom Ponzu and Perrila Seed Oil. Or the excellent (in flavour, presentation and title) “Crab Crab Crab!” in which a softshell crab and warm crab salad pairs with crab roe, crab chawanmushi bamboo in a yellow crab curry.

A creative tasting menu offering first-rate, expertly handled, local produce - and one of Bangkok’s most exciting restaurants. Riley Sanders has a familiar story; falling in love with Southeast Asia during his travels in 2013, he decided to lay down roots in Bangkok and went about the creation of Canvas in 2016. Originally from Texas, the young chef - he’s still under 30 years-old - is fast becoming one of the culinary driving forces in the city. The crayfish is the standout dish, both in its presentation and taste; a beefy specimen, the innards mixed with dala, som jeed (kumquat), and lemongrass, then reattached to the head, and plated with artistic flair.

U the guidance of chef Pim Techamuanvivit, Nahm confirmed its place as one of the top restaurants in Asia by gaining a Michelin star for the third consecutive year in 2020. The food is a modern take on traditional Thai fare, with strong, fresh flavours, balancing hot and cold, sweet and salty. I might single out the pigeon curry for particular mention. Pigeon isn’t a meat commonly used in Asian cooking, and when it is the quality is invariably hideous. This was a shredded larb of the best-quality pigeon—pork being the most commonly used in Thailand—and an excellent example of the fact that birds don’t have to be cooked with the bloody speed of an electrocution victim to be palatable. An accompanying plate of crispy catfish represents carbohydrates and cucumber, parsley and celery leaves, presented a cool palate cleanser.
