The best cultural exchanges are often the ones that involve a delicious meal. Inspired by the welcoming spirit of both Northern Thai and Latin cultures, the culinary teams of Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road’s CHAR Bangkok, helmed by Chef Jaime “Jimmy” Rojas and Chefs Denwers Rattan and Jamrian “La” Chumpoo from InterContinental Chiang Mai Mae Ping have joined forces to create a unique culinary experience available only on March 16th – 17th 2023 at CHAR Restaurant. Now, Bangkokians don’t need to leave the comfort of the capital to try authentic Northern Thai recipes showcased alongside Chef Jimmy’s reimagining of these flavours through his own perspective in a fun, sharing-style feast.
A locavore by passion who will be flying down with fresh herbs and produce picked from the hotel’s onsite garden, Chef La is the Northern Thai Chef at InterContinental Chiang Mai Mae Ping and a treasure trove of traditional cooking techniques with over 30 years of experience. Supported by her Executive Chef Denwers Rattan, this Lampang native will be preparing dishes like “Nam Phrik Num” and “Nam Phrik Ong” chili dips, alongside crispy pork crackling and Sai Oua sausage as well as comforting yet elevated fare such as “Hang Lay” Pork Belly Curry and “Aep Pla” Marinated Snakehead Fish Curry.

But that’s not all as diners will be able to savour a new interpretation of these classic dishes at the same time. Influenced by his many years overseas in countries ranging from the Maldives, United Arab Emirates and Spain to Turkey and Indonesia, Mexican-native Chef Jimmy has a global palate and a passion for using cooking to spark new connections and celebrate the flavours and ingredients he is inspired by. Diners will be able to contrast bites of freshly pounded chilli dip alongside a Nam Phrik Ong-inspired Pâté with house-baked Focaccia or dig into unique taco renditions such as the Beef Cheek Khao Soi Corn Taco or the Braised Pork “Hang Lay” Soft Flour Taco. Of course, dessert features the best of both worlds, with the delicious flavours and textures of “Kanom Thien” Steamed Sticky Rice with Coconut served alongside Coconut Panna Cotta with Caramelized Bananas or Chiang Mai Strawberry Crumble with Yoghurt Ice Cream.
