Price: 799++ baht (Traditional Thai Culinary In-Action Showcase) / 1,099++ baht (Hands-On Thai Cooking Class) / 1,499++ baht (Beyond Cooking: Culinary Exploration Tour)
Le Méridien Bangkok is offering food lovers a proper introduction to Thai cuisine with three hands-on cooking experiences. First, they have the Traditional Thai Culinary In-Action Showcase. It’s a two-hour session where you can watch chefs demonstrate authentic techniques. Afterward, you get to enjoy a freshly prepared meal, plus a recipe book, a spice sachet, and a chef’s certificate to take home.
But if you’re ready to get involved, you may prefer the Hands-On Thai Cooking Class. Over three hours, you’ll learn how to balance Thailand’s signature flavours before sitting down to a three-course meal. In addition, you’ll receive a recipe booklet, a Thai spice bag, a chef’s certificate, and a Le Méridien signature apron.
The Beyond Cooking: Culinary Exploration Tour is where things get really immersive. It starts with a guided market tour, where chefs teach you how to pick the best ingredients. Then, it’s back to the kitchen for a hands-on cooking session, ending with a proper sit-down meal.
The half-day experience includes round-trip market transportation, a branded apron, a curated spice bag, printed recipes, exclusive chef access for future inquiries, a freshly cooked lunch, and a chef’s certificate.
Lady Butcher at The District Grill Room and Bar
Date & Time: Friday, March 21, from 6.30pm
Location: The District Grill Room and Bar, Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, 2 Ban Kluai Nuea Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
Price: 2,900 baht net (food-only) / 3,900 baht net (with wine pairing)
If you’re after a steak dinner that’s more than just a meal, this is it. This Friday, The District Grill Room & Bar at Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit is teaming up with Lady Butcher, Thailand’s queen of dry-aged beef, for a one-night-only five-course dinner.
Chef Nattida Noo-In, better known as Lady Butcher, has built a name for herself by perfecting the art of dry-ageing beef and bringing bold, Thai-inspired flavours to the steakhouse scene.
It starts with smoked river prawns on mini rice crackers, topped with a kaffir lime burrata espuma and Oscietra caviar. Then comes Isan-style beef carpaccio, sliced impossibly thin, cured just right, with a tamarind reduction, toasted rice powder, and truffle-mayo. Somewhere between indulgent and effortless.
The seafood course is grilled wild-caught sea bass, wrapped in banana leaves, with a black sticky rice risotto that tastes like coconut and galangal. Then, the reason you’re here: dry-aged Wagyu sirloin, grilled over tamarind wood charcoal, served with Isaan Jeaw sauce, roasted garlic jus, and sweet potato purée.
Dessert is a little dramatic, with strawberry yogurt gelato, topped with rose petals frozen in liquid nitrogen.
Tickets are available via Megatix.
