Time For Thailand’s Classic Summer Treat at Smooth Curry, Plaza Athénée Bangkok, A Royal Méridien

 

Bangkok 2017, Temperatures are rising. Cool off with khao chae, Thailand’s favourite seasonal royal Thai dish, at Smooth Curry at Plaza Athénée Bangkok, A Royal Méridien Hotel, one of Bangkok’s most acclaimed Thai restaurants.

Khao chae – literally "rice soaked in water" – made its first appearance in the court of King Rama II as a means of relief during the hot season.  It was adapted from a simple Mon recipe into the complex, multi-dish treat of today. What with the elaborate processes involved in creating the side dishes, it’s best to have it prepared by a top chef such as Smooth Curry’s hot new talent, Chef Montri Jiratitikankit.

His Classic Khao Chaeo Set Menu combines rice soaked in flower scented cool water served with:Shrimp paste ball, Stuffed shallots, Stuffed sweet peppers, Shredded sweetened beef or pork, Pickled turnips with egg, Sweetened sun-dried fried fish, Fried minced pork with salted fish, Salted egg yolk with minced pork.

Priced only THB 680++ per person
