Innovating your offers and changing the way one operates are key elements in this challenging time globally, most notably for the restaurant industry. R-HAAN has done it once again by launching a ‘Ready to Cook’ delivery service.

R-HAAN and renowned Chef Chumpol Jangprai has prepared a repertoire of Thai dishes. All the required ingredients are packed in a special box for everyone to enjoy cooking at home. The box comes with a cooking manual too. With one quick scan of the QR code, everyone at home can watch a cooking video of Chef Chumpol himself. He will go through the vital steps to prepare the dish, from wok to plate.

If R-HAAN is not a familiar name to you, let us recap briefly. 

R-HAAN is a fine dining establishment founded by Khun “Todd” Piti Bhirom Bhakdi and Chef Chumpol Jangprai. As a dynamic duo, they advocate the wisdom of Thai cuisine under the concept ‘Nai Nam Mee Pla, Nai Na Mee Khao’. There are fishes in the water and rice in the fields, a saying that speaks to the great abundance and fertility of the Thai kingdom. R-HAAN is a 2-star Michelin restaurant as well.

 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.”

Summer on a Platter Khao Chae at Siam Tea Room

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.

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.

Winter is Here R-Haan Presents A Winter Symphony of Thai Taste

​

In the international culinary scene, Chef Chumpol Jangprai needs no introduction. Nominated ambassador of Thai cuisine, Chef Chumpol started cooking at the age of 19. The former Iron Chef and TV celebrity co-founded R-Haan and has never looked back since. The restaurant was awarded a 2-star Michelin a month ago, and we very much look forward to a memorable evening as we sampled the new menu for the winter months.
 
We opened the evening with Steamed Newly Harvested Thai Rice Stuffed with Mae Klong Mackerel and Aromatic Thai Herbs and crowned with Thai Royal Project Caviar. The smooth and savoury Mae Klong mackerel was a delight and already, one wished for an encore! Next up was tiger prawns from Chantaburi, in the eastern region of Thailand. The plump prawn was presented in sync with Thai Herbs and Tanee Banana Blossoms. The final dollops of homemade sauce was served table-side, sometimes by the Chef himself. This recipe was created by Chef Chumpol when he was only 11 years old!
Picture
The appetizer platter consists of 3 sublime bites of charcoal grilled pheasant, catfish roll with sweet virgin fish sauce and angus beef salad sourced from the province of Buriram. The next dish was a duck egg-yolk confit, with a side of riceberry sponge cake. The accompanying paloh sauce was a huge hit and the Chef commented that it took 8 hours and the finest Kurobuta pork was deployed in the making of this heavenly sauce. Cubes of egg whites were like sprinkles of magic on this decadent plate. What a masterpiece indeed.
Picture
For the main part of this samrub, there was a choice of Tom Yum Soup or Black Chicken Consomme with Black Galingale and Golden Longan. Northern Thai curry with luscious Kurobuta pork legs or Southern Thai yellow curry with blue crab meat would be your next selection. Deep-fried sea bass also graced the table alongside newly harvested Thai Hom Mali rice from Yasothon province. Do not forget to try the best fish sauce in Thailand too - take a spoonful and drip them gently across your plate of rice and in itself, is a simple & elegant meal. The chilli dip with crispy pork belly was also our favourite.
 
Dessert in this winter samrub menu highlighted cocoa from the northern mountains of Chiangmai and for the final petit four, the glazed strawberries was our pick of the day. As we celebrate the decade that just passed and the advent of an entire new year, an evening at 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.

Winter Samrub Menu is available from 5 December 2019 
Price: 2,912 ++ baht per person 
Daily from 18.00 – 23.00 hrs.

The Wisdom of Thai Cuisine

R-Haan is a Thai fine dining restaurant located on Thonglo Soi 9, Bangkok. In Thai, the word R-Haan means “something consumed for sustenance”. The experience though, transcends far beyond – it is a culinary journey. From plate to palate, the wisdom of Thai cuisine is shared and appreciated. R-Haan received global recognition in 2019 and was awarded its first Michelin star. R-Haan recently unveiled their Royal Summer Menu. As the season changes, Chef Chumpol Jangprai embraces the warmer days and highlights seasonal ingredients sourced from across the country. We were privileged to receive a ‘sneak preview’.
 
To kick off the journey, we began with Smoked Coconut with Homemade Pork Sausage served with Ground River Fish mixed with Ground Roasted Rice and Aromatic Coconut Milk with Bitter Orange Foam. Great care was given to the presentation of the dish – it was an exquisite sight. Service team executed in perfect sync, always anticipated our needs.
 
Three appetizers soon followed, each a nod to a medley of ingredients that brought out diverse flavours. For the main courses, five dishes were presented for family style sharing. The steamed new crop Hom Mali rice is from the Yasothorn province. The organic brown rice features 5 different variety including Riceberry, Hill Tribe Brown Rice and Chitralada Palace Rice.

Rest Scene

Small in size, big in taste, Rest Detail Hotel Hua Hin’s intimate poolside restaurant is well worth a visit
AS one of our favourite places to stay in Hua Hin, it’s perhaps no surprise that Rest Detail Hotel also gets our vote for being a great place to grab a bite to eat, too.

Sure, the hotel may not be centrally located, but ensuring its Rest Scene Restaurant is worth the short drive out of town is an artfully crafted menu of  Thai and Mediterranean cuisine featuring dishes such as Grilled teriyaki snow fish with mayo wasabi sauce (B950++), Pizza Rest Scene (B350++), Spaghetti tom yum gung (B350++), and many more creative options.

Moom Talay

Serving tasty Thai seafood right next to the beach
SEAFOOD restaurants in Pattaya are as ubiquitous as seashells on a beach, and just as searching for the perfect, unbroken conch can take several hours, seeking out a decent eatery you want to return to here can take several days.

Visit Moom Talay Thai Restaurant, though, and you’ll find it’s not only an 'unbroken conch,' but actually a giant clam of a discovery – that is, one of the best places in town for enjoying some delicious Thai seafood at great value for money.
