FAMED TABLE 38 RESTAURANT POP-UP BY CHEF ANDY YANG AT DECANTER IN THE ST. REGIS BANGKOK

Chef Andy Yang presents a unique pop-up dining experience from his famed Table 38 restaurant, at The St. Regis Bangkok, for two nights only, on 7th and 8th December 2018, from 6:30pm, at Decanter.

The St. Regis Bangkok has invited the acclaimed founder and executive chef of the 1-Michelin-Star Thai restaurant in New York, Rhong Tiam, to present a pop-up version of his famed Table 38 restaurant in Bangkok, to guests at the hotel’s Decanter restaurant. On Friday 7^th and Saturday 8^th December 2018, from 6:30pm, guests can expect to be surprised and delighted, with a chef’s-table style 7-course Thai menu, with a difference.

Chef Andy Yang offers no sneak preview of the exclusive, pop-up evening menu, leaving everything to the imagination. He will, however, be showcasing his unique Thai culinary excellence - the lifeblood and signature of his famed Table 38 restaurant. Curating a unique environment and creatively deconstructing and reimagining Thai eats for Decanter guests, Chef Andy’s two pop-up nights are priced at  THB 4,500++ per person, plus THB 2,800++  for the optional wine pairing.

Thai-born Chef Andy compares the art of cooking to painting an artwork, or composing a musical masterpiece: “You must interlace each note, color or ingredient; all working masterfully together. Like any journey, it begins from the careful selection of local ingredients, all coming together, through careful preparation and presentation to stimulate the five senses.” 

With an incomparable perspective on Thai cuisine, Chef Andy Yang applies his extensive knowledge and understanding of the true complexities of an authentic Thai dining experience, together with his innate talent for culinary artistry and techniques acquired in New York kitchens. His ever-present intent is to take guests on an adventurous journey through every plate, innately radiating his gastronomic flair.

His Table 38 motto is “Using today’s knowledge to tell yesterday’ story”. 

“Growing up in Bangkok, a city with a big clash of different cultures, I am naturally influenced by things that were meticulously done in the past, the contrast of prestigious heritages, vernacular design languages and exotic street cultures. I believe every dish can be a tool for communication, not just a tasty dish. Updating these topics and introducing them to new audiences and younger generations gives me great satisfaction.” Quoted by Chef Andy Yang
