Paste Restaurant – Luang Prabang, Laos

With PASTE long recognized as one of the best culinary experiences in Bangkok, Paste Luang Prabang is ready to Wow you. Chef Bee Satongun (Best Female Chef in Asia 2018) has created a sophisticated Thai-Portuguese dish of Lotus Stem Salad with Crayfish, Poached Pheasant and Gold Apple Powder. Chef Bee was inspired by Thai-Portugese Khanom Jeen noodle sauce with creamy coconut milk, yellow turmeric, lime juice and the crunchiness of the lotus stem and crispy lotus petal adding complex textures and taste. And finished off with luxurious Gold Apple powder for its unique aroma. An imaginative and delicious creation inspired by two great cuisines from one of Asia’s most exciting chefs.

Redbox - Chiang Mai, Thailand

Redbox has been developed as a restaurant-destination to offer more than simply a meal. The dream of husband and wife team Chef Chindanai ‘Dan’ Boonchaliew and food designer Chef Pimmada ‘Proud’ Kankulsuntorn, they have combined their talents to create a dining destination unlike any other in the city. Elegant, welcoming, impeccably presented, the restaurant itself, as well as each dish, is lovingly created to feature original takes on South East Asian and world cuisines.

The main flavour here comes from coconut and cooking it slow really makes the dish shine.
