At the two Michelin-starred R-Haan, executive chef Chumpol Jangprai goes back to his time in Europe for his festive menu.
Fresh off the back of being appointed as Sustainable Food Ambassador for FeedUp@UN , chef Chumpol s new menu is called Sustainable R-Haan Sambrub and is, by far, the best I ve had at R-Haan. Moving away from straightforward Thai served in a modern style, chef Chumpol has added a bit of European flair to the menu.
Begin with Welcome To Thailand , which are four snacks. North Excursion is represented in a Spicy minced duck salad with herbs done Lanna style; Central Thai Visit is a Golden crispy river prawn cake; E-sarn Journey is a 24-month fermented fish from Korat baked with Cheese and black galingale; and the Southern Wander is a Spicy Mae Klong mackerel salad with rice filled with betel leaf.
