KWANN: A tale of charcoal cooking, smoking coal, and Thai soul

Prepare for an epic journey; dive into the innovative yet traditional realm of Thai Cuisine with the unveiling of KWANN Restaurant on April 1. The latest addition to the esteemed Kingston Hotels Group, KWANN promises to redefine gastronomic experiences for locals and discerning travellers in a stylish yet laid-back, casual fine dining setup.

Set amidst a haven of calm among Bangkok’s vivid tapestry, NYSA Hotel at Soi Sukhumvit 13, KWANN is set to revolutionize contemporary Thai cuisine in Bangkok, thanks to culinary trailblazers, Michelin-starred Chef Napol ‘Joe’ Jantraget, and Chef Jirapat Sept from NAWA.

Culinary experience

KWANN’s ethos is a delicate fusion where heritage meets contemporary treatment and highlights the finest Thai local products, offering a sumptuous array of dishes that seamlessly blend tradition and modernity as live fire, charcoal, and smoking techniques breathe life into every dish. From reimagined classics to daring creations, each plate tells a story infused with Thai soul, bringing back the basics of Thai cooking style and old recipes. All are compiled in a delightful, fun, and lively menu that is rich in food with soul from glowing coal.

Offering an à la carte and a Chef’s choice tasting menu, KWANN’s dishes combine ingredients in skilful ways that create memorable flavour profiles and follow the Thai tradition of food sharing as a form of giving. Must-try snacks include Crab Beignets served with a well-balanced Southern Curry Sauce and accompanied by Betel Leaf.

For starters, Roasted Thai Wagyu Beef Tongue Nam Tok Style Salad, tossed with fresh herbs and toasted rice, offers a harmonious balance of textures and tastes.

From the grill, Red Koji Glazed Duck Breast with Kwann’s Hoisin Sauce & Seasonal Condiments featuring succulent smoked and grilled duck in a luscious homemade Hoisin sauce. Available in both half and full portions, this dish will take guests on a journey through the vibrant spices of Thailand.

Nam Prik Ta Deang Hed Yang (Spicy Grilled Mushroom Relish), a fiery grilled mushroom relish accompanied by seasonal fruits and vegetables. To close on a high note, KWANN’s Khanom Mor Gaeng Basque Cheesecake with Smoked Coconut Ice Cream, a dessert that tells a story of flavour and texture by combining traditional Thai ingredients with indulgent richness.

The experience is complemented by a carefully selected beverage offering, including homemade fermentations, a smoked cocktails trolley where guests can choose their favourite smoke flavour and technique that will be infused in a delicious concoction, local sato rice beers, and a volcanic wine list.
