Although I’ve fallen off the wagon a bit in supporting women in the kitchen (bad Courtney!), with a late confirmation to Bangkok last week, I only had time for one planned meal. Looking at what was walking distance from my hotel — the next level Rosewood Bangkok, if you’re interested — I found Paste. Paste is not only acknowledged by Michelin standards but is also on the World’s 50 Best Asia, receiving a #28 spot in the 2019 list. Bee Satongun, recognized as 2018’s Best Female Chef Asia yes, I still hate that a ‘best female chef’ title is given out because everyone is just a ‘chef’ is connected with the kitchen and getting a restaurant reservation day of, I felt lucky. Had I a free dinner, I had hoped to check out Gaa — next time, I guess. Located in the upscale Gaysorn Plaza, Paste is easy to find…
It was with a considerable amount of expectation that I went to Gaggan, the #1 restaurant in Asia’s Top 50 Restaurants for the third year in a row (and currently ranked #23 in the world). Let me first mention that the entire service team brought their A Game to the meal, no matter the 4 AM after party from the post-awards ceremony the night before (honestly, you wouldn’t know it — the property was put back to its regular standards with nary a spoon out of place). Warmly greeted, we were seated not upstairs in the lab (which I would go back to try), but in the front left room overlooking the kitchen (the closest appropriation of a chef’s table — complete with glass that can provide an instant screen). And then we were presented with a menu. A menu lacking words of any kind. A menu unlike any other I’d…
It took until day four during my trip to Thailand to actually enjoy Thai food. I was supposed to go to #5 ranked Nahm, but a wretched food poisoning attack sidelined me from going (and I never get sick like that). Therefore, coming off of a #21 placement the night before, I was delighted to visit the stately older home (built in 1914) where Issaya Siamese Club resides. Complete in bright colors and with both indoor and outdoor seating, the interior of the restaurant feels a bit like stepping into the past. Given the modern and more stylized venues we had visited previously, the decor at Issaya was a definite departure. Personally, I like a fine dining experience to come with all the bells and whistles of a contemporary restaurant, but I think part of Issaya’s charm is its antiquated charm. As my dining partner and I scanned the menu, I was…

In my perpetual ‘cool by association’ friendship with Zoe, while she was attending meetings with the World’s 50 Best team, I decided to seek out a nice lunch for my first meal in Bangkok. Fortunately, I didn’t have to look far. The Fine Dining Lovers association was hosting a ‘four hands’ lunch at the nearby Mandarin Oriental. I did my research a bit late in the game and ended up requesting a booking 72 hours out from my trip — when the lunch was already fully booked. Fortunately, a few hours before my flight to Bangkok, the team managed to find a place for me. Given I’m coming up on A LOT of tasting menus and this was a special one off meal, I’m simply going to break down two of the dishes, my favorite and the one that didn’t work. As I didn’t get a chance to sample the regular…
