IRON STAR CHEF 2GO - A DYNAMIC COLLAB BETWEEN 2 RENOWNED CHEFS

 Chef Chumpol promises a Thai dining experience of the highest  quality in a beautiful restaurant with ‘social distancing’ between tables

Bangkok is now recognized as a genuine international city, yet surprisingly there’s only a handful of truly elegant and sophisticated Thai restaurants that live up to this global stature.
 
One of those is R-HANN, a Thai fine dining restaurant on Thonglor (Sukhumvit 55) whose excellence has caught the attention of the world with a two-star rating by Michelin. That’s an incredible achievement given that this beautiful venue has only been open for two years. It also speaks volumes of its overall excellence.
 
R-HAAN was founded by Piti Bhirombhakdi and his business partner, Chumpol Jangprai, a talented chef who has spent his entire career perfecting the art of Thai cooking.

Chef Chumpol is passionate about his work and together with his team is committed to the sourcing and selection of the freshest and finest of ingredients. Through skillful preparation, clever seasoning and time-honored cooking methods, these ingredients are transformed into superlative culinary creations. Add in the immaculate presentation of each dish, plus service that’s friendly and attentive but never intrusive, and the net result is a remarkable dining experience with food that Chef Chumpol describes so eloquently as the “Wisdom of Thai Cuisine.”

Siam Tea Room definitely does tea and so much more. This deli-inspired outlet spans the culinary divide but its beating heart is Thai.
 
Siam Tea Room welcoms diners with comfy sofas and is truly an ideal spot for a swift yet supremely satisfying breakfast, lunch or dinner.
 
The paneled walls are traditional wood. Artistic Thai furniture, classic celadon ceramics from Kanchanaburi Province, Aranyik steel cutlery from Ayutthaya and staff uniforms made using indigenous “mor hom” fabric complete the Thai charm from within.

Many of their main dishes are quintessentially Thai. The special pork ribs and beef noodles come highly recommended. The entire menu is created and overseen by experienced Thai Sous Chef Phukvarun Watchmon who has been in the Thai culinary circuit since a very young age. Chef Phukvarun started her culinary journey at the Royal Kitchen of Klai Kang Won Palace in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province before joining the Thai kitchen teams at various top hotels.

As the name reveals, the hotel is located on Sukhumvit Soi 24, which is within the pulsating hub of Em District and walking distance from the Phrom Phong BTS Skytrain station. And if you are in the ‘hood for some shopping or well-deserved R&R, check-in to this new hotel and head to The Market Restaurant.
 
The interior is welcoming. Jars filled with spices and ingredients are lined on the peripheral walls. Magazines and light reads are placed side by side with kitchenware decor. The design is in line with the name The Market - where one can find a potpourri of fresh ‘everything.

When R-Haan first opened its doors, the founders knew it was something special. The recognition from Michelin elevated the brand and the team.
 
A year later, a second star was awarded and R-Haan cemented its position in the global culinary scene. It was a proud moment for Thai cuisine as a whole.
 
As a burgeoning brand with a stellar track record, one can onlyimagine the culinary odyssey in the planning. Yet, price has not climbed - a testament to their commitment to diners, friends and gourmands alike. Our strength and success lies with our people, enthused Chef Chumpol Jangprai, the chef extraordinaire in the driver's seat. Going forward, R-Haan will build on their people and grow further. Forging ahead together, is their motto. To deliver a consistent and eye opening dining experience and a culinary journey to every guest.
 
R-Haan will also invest in international marketing and will participate in more road shows. To be given this opportunity to promote the wisdom of Thai cuisine, is one of the highest honour in my life, says Khun Piti (Todd) Bhirom Bhakdi, Director & Executive Vice President at Boon Rawd Brewery Co., Ltd. Khun Piti is an investor and co-founder of R-Haan. R-Haan will remind you of the amazing range of taste that Thai food has to offer. It can be a nostalgic walk down memory lane for some, or a journey of discovery for the rest of us. Plus, as Michelin puts it: Excellent cooking, worth a detour.
