Michelin starred al fresco dining experience at Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok highlights benefits of fresh produce

Tuesday 13 November 2018 18:00
Internationally acclaimed restaurateur, Chef Henrik Yde Andersen, whose gastronomic empire includes more than 20 well known establishments, brings his personal take on vegetarian fine dinging to Bangkok.

The visionary chef behind the Michelin starred restaurant Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin, presents a new limited-time-only, six-course tasting menu and Chef's Table with paired wines. Served in the lush green gardens of the Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok and surrounded by mature trees and unique plant life, Chef Henrik presents his Chef's Table tasting menu on the evenings of 29 and 30 November 2018.

"I will be selecting the freshest of produce to create dishes that offer exceptional flavour and that are an integral element of healthy living," explains Chef Henrik Yde Andersen.

"This new tasting menu demonstrates effectively that meat is not an essential part of our daily diets and that vegetarian cuisine can offer you a gourmet experience on the level of any traditional menu. I want to encourage our guests to look more closely at the many benefits of consuming fresh produce and the good fortune we have here in Thailand, where the soil provides so generously of itself."

The special Chef's Table dinners on Thursday 29 and Friday 30 November include live cookery demonstrations by Chef Henrik as he shares details of the ingredients and produce used in each course, and serves the guests personally. It will be available for 12 diners only each evening, as Chef Henrik intends it to remain a personal dining and learning experience.

Menu highlights include salt-baked celeriac served with butter, whisked miso, ginger and chives; tomato tartar; mushroom barlotto – a creamy corn risotto with chocolate and mushroom juice.

With each dinner limited to 12 guests, early reservations are strongly recommended. Priced at THB 3,800++ per person including wines.

In the event of inclement weather, the dinners will be held at an alternative location within the hotel.
