  | To make this culinary occasion even more refined, guests can accompany it with a glass or bottle of Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV Champagne. Fresh and elegant yet rich and powerful, this beautiful bubbly cuts through the spiciness of the som tam. Alternatively, diners can select from three exquisite Chardonnays: Echeverria Reserva 2017 from Chile, La Chapelle 2016 from Languedoc, France, and Main Divide 2015 from New Zealand. “Som tam is famous around the world for its fresh, crisp ingredients and spicy kick.

The new menu comprises a series of other avant-garde dishes that fuse the finest flavours of Thailand with cutting-edge international cooking techniques. For example, the beef carpaccio features wafer-thin slices of beef tenderloin, flash-seared and dressed with lemongrass and dried chili. Similarly, the tuna tartare blends fresh raw tuna with Thai herbs and a fish sauce dressing. |
