Paste Bangkok serves heirloom Thai cuisine showcasing the chef’s close study of Thai culinary history and ingredients. Chef-owners Bongkoch Satongun and her husband Jason Bailey’s goal is to cater to a Thai palette and not to adapt the tastes and profiles of their dishes to necessarily accommodate to foreigners or tourists, which translates in bolder tastes packed with spices, herbs and even flowers.
