Novotel Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel proudly presents “Khao Chae Suvarnabhumi” a unique classic summer treat from Suvarnabhumi Golden Land. Available just only once a year throughout April-May 2022 at Sala Thai restaurant.
“Khao Chae Suvarnabhumi” this unique summer treat created by Chef Bang-on Malalek, our Head Chef of Thai Kitchen, who has been trained to make authentic Khao Chae with original recipe from ML Bua Kitiyakara, Royal Thai Kitchen. Chef Bang-on also received many royal awards for her beautiful carving skills. She and her team created 9 side dishes according to the auspicious numbers and decorated them with gold leaves on these side dishes featuring its auspiciousness and reflecting the meaning of “Suvarnabhumi” - "Land of Gold". “Khao Chae Suvarnabhumi”, in addition to being a summer treat menu, it is also considered as a valuable offering for Songkran Festival that would make anyone delightful when both giving and receiving.
Khao Chae is exiguous as it is the most time and effort needed food in Thai cuisine. Chef Bang-On brings jasmine rice to slightly boil then carefully polishes the half-cooked rice until shiny, then steams again before soaking in the cold, candle smoke and flower scented water. Another example, Kapi Thod, deep-fried shrimp paste balls, the main highlight of Khao Chae, requires 8 hours to cook from scratch. Chef Bang-On and her team spend a lot of time to prepare and cook 9 different the side dishes to provide you a memorable Khao Chae experience.
For the best Khao Chae Suvarnabhumi dining experience, it is recommended to start with eating the most savoury side dish like Kapi Thod first, chew to taste. Then follow by having soaked rice and a taste of the scented water again to absorb the aroma and taste. Then continue with sweet side dishes such as Pla Chon Waan Pad Hang , sweetened snakehead fish and other savoury dishes. Simply you can have little bit of each side dish, chew a bit and follow by a spoonful of the icy rice and nibble with fresh vegetables, such as cucumber, wild ginger, chilies or spring onions, in between side dishes to refresh your palate and to balance. Please try not to put the side dishes into the rice bowl or in the same spoon with Khao Chae, as this will cause the oiliness and the taste from various ingredients mixed into the bowl and makes the scented water smell fishy or not as fragrant as it should be.
Feel refreshed with Khao Chae Suvarnabhumi, the original set of Thailand's summer treats from the Land of Gold for a perfect souvenir for family and loved ones during this summer. Available from 1 April – 31 May 2022. Price at THB 820 for dine-in and THB 1,090 for takeaway set in a wooden basket, ready to pick up at Novotel Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel or Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square.

Our signature Khao Chae or rice in iced water with side dishes is served in exquisite Benjarong porcelain ware  illustrated with peafowl motif which symbolizes abundance and luck. The Benjarong plates were created by craftsmen from Ayutthaya province exclusively for special Khao Chae sets served at Ruen Noppagao Sathorn Soi 6 this year. The restaurant’s Khao Chae comes in 3 options including: original, Halal, and vegetarian. Each includes 4 courses.

The first course is watermelons with sweet dried fish made of sun dried snakehead fish from Sing Buri province. The fish is grilled on a coal grill and pounded until it becomes flossy. Then, the fish is stir fried and seasoned with coconut flower sugar from Samut Sakhon, fleur de sel, and deep-fried shallots before it is served with cold watermelons.
 
 
The second course is called “Kung Hom Sabai” or shrimps wrapped in spring roll sheets. These shrimps are sourced from a network of artisanal fisheries in Surat Thani province. The shrimps are marinated with coriander roots, garlic, and pepper. They are wrapped in spring roll sheets and deep fried. The dish is served with bitter orange dipping made with Ruen Noppagao’s secret recipe!
The third course, or the main course, is rice in iced water served with 7 side dishes including fried shrimp paste balls, red onions stuffed with sweet dried fish, deep-fried starch-coated salted egg yolks, stuffed bell peppers, flossy pork, sweet stir fried snakehead fish, fragrant preserved turnips stir fried with lard, and fresh vegetables such as sour mangoes, shallots, kaempferia, and cucumbers. The iced water is made of mineral water from Doi Ngam Village in Mae Suai, Chiang Rai province. The vegetables are boiled at 100 degrees for 15 minutes to kill harmful agents and left to cool down in a terracotta jar for one night. The vegetables are then left in water with 4 fragrant flowers–damask rose, vallaris glabra, Songkhla ylang-ylang, and jasmine for another night and smoked with Thai fragrant dessert candles. As for rice, old Sao Hai rice is cleansed with clean water and purified with alum until the water is clear. After that, the rice is boiled in a terracotta pot until rice grains are puffed open and washed again with cold water. Lastly, the rice is dried, steamed 3 times, dried again, left in a container with 4 fresh flowers, and smoked with Fragrant dessert candles for one night.
The last course is 4-cup dessert usually eaten in summer or the Songkran New Year festival. The dessert comprises “Khai Kob” (lemon basil), “Nok Ploi” (sweet rice noodles), “Bua Louy” (popped rice), and “Ai Tue” (black sticky rice). This rare dessert is served at Ruen Noppagao only during this period.
Price: 999++ baht/set for one person 
Price: 1,999 baht/takeaway set for 2 persons and a box of Thong Boran dessert
Thong Boran dessert is sold at 290 baht/box.
