Born and raised in Udonthani, Weerawat Triyasenawat aka Chef Num opened Samuay & Sons with his brother, Chef Joe, to showcase the culinary innovation of northeastern Thailand. Renowned for its "New Isan cuisine," Samuay & Sons blends traditional and modern techniques using locally sourced ingredients to craft a menu that evolves with the changing seasons. With accolades like the New Bib Gourmand Selection from the Michelin Guide Thailand 2024, Michelin Plate recognition in 2023, and multiple nods from Asia's 50 Best Restaurants, Samuay & Sons redefines the Thai culinary landscape.
This March, Chef Num invites diners to "taste the magic" of Isan cuisine at Avani Sukhumvit with a menu inspired by the region. The journey begins with an amuse bouche that combines bite-sized papaya salad with grilled Betong chicken raised by Khon Kaen farmers.
For their appetisers, diners may choose between bamboo shoot soup - a regional favourite elevated with ant eggs and caviar from Hua Hin, or fish and local chicken sausage with spicy pig trotter reduction served to resemble an egg.
The soup course is titled The Red Lotus Lake, inspired by the famous tourist destination in Udon Thani, featuring tom yum soup with tiger prawn and watermelon. It's followed by a steamed herbal Khong river fish with mixed local vegetables and Isan consomme.
For mains, rice-field crab sauce and sticky rice are served with grilled Phu Meng pork - a unique pig breed developed by local farmers. The magic concludes with a sweet and sour delight of mango sticky rice tacos with mango sauce and mango ice cream.
