Thai Tapas at Ginja – a truly remarkable taste sensation
I am invited to special dinners many times a week and most are wonderful nights exploring new flavors and presentation at some of the island’s best restaurants. Last night was exceptional and beautifully presented at the award-winning Ginja Taste in Mai Khao.
JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa invited Chef Prasertchai Trongvanichnam (aka. Chef Jack, Chef de Cuisine of Flavor Restaurant,Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel) to Phuket.
He recently won the prestigious title of Iron Chef Thailand Competition. Last night he presented the first of four very special Thai Tapas nights at Ginja Taste. It runs nightly until February 7.
The Thai Tapas degustation menu features creative and adventurous dishes revolving around the theme of molecular gastronomy. Each course has its own story.
Sampling menu included Ceviche – flamed tuna topped with coconut drops, lemongrass & onion powder and mint gel; 24-Hour Sous Vide Black Angus (grass fed) short ribs massaman crusted & coconut gnocchi; Truffle potato in mushroom dust & pumpkin puree; Crispy pork belly, steamed kale, turnip and chili pesto; Butterfly pea granite just to name a few.
Price is 2,800++ baht per person for 6-course set menu and 3,500++ baht per person for 10-course set menu. The Iron Chef Thailand Winner’s a la carte menu is also available.
The writer can HIGHLY recommend the “Chili & chocolate sphere with pineapple textures”, probably the most remarkable dessert I have ever tasted! Congratulations Chef Prasertchai Trongvanichnam.
