 | 10-course Thai-molecular Tapas – R Bar, Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel winning chef Prasertchai Trongvanichnam is celebrated for his creative take on Thai food using molecular gastronomy approach—a cooking style involving scientific disciplines. This Thai Tapas set was inspired by the multitude of Thai ingredients and the possibility that they have to offer. Chef Prasertchai thus reinvented tapas by infusing them with Thai culinary expression, using Thai herbs like bird's chilli, tamarind, lemongrass and kaffir lime as key ingredients to bring out characteristic flavours of traditional Thai food. The result is a set menu that perfectly fuses classic and modern appeals—one that makes a departure from conventional expectations and tempts diners to tease |
their palate with novelty in food. Highlight of the set is beef massaman curry which is a combination of 24-hour sous-vided Australian beef from cage-free oxen and creamy, molecularly-cooked massaman curry which retains authenticity of this famous curry as well as beef’s juiciness. The veteran chef applied scientific knowledge in molecular gastronomy and visually presents these Thai tapas with unusual imagination to give an added sense of novelty, excitement, curiosity and modernity. A refreshing welcome cocktail drink is included as a special overture to this set menu.
