Eat & Drink
Nutritious, seductive, completely satisfying - the Metropolitan's cuisine
is a Bangkok essential
With a Michelin star for his Thai restaurant
in London, Australian chef David Thompson is a worldclass talent when
it comes to the finest nunces of this explosive, flavourful cuisine.
At nahm Bangkok (opening in July 2010), diners can expect proper Thai
food done really well in warmly contemporary environs.
The dishes
are like the food eaten at home-relaxed, generous and authentic, combining
juice and spice, sweet and sour. Menus showcase some of the best market-fresh
produce in the world, all carefully put together by Thompson and his
experienced team.
For breakfast and healthy all-day dining,
Glow serves COMO Shambhala's signature wellness cuisine while the Met
Bar features modern Asian dishes in club-like environs, every plate
that emerges from our kitchens overseen by another talented Australian,
Executive Chef Chris Miller. |

nahm
David Thompson, famed for Michelin-starred nahm restaurant at The Halkin
hotel in London, will be opening his first restaurant in Bangkok this
Summer. Serving authentic Thai food, this major new address for the
capital will be popular with both hotel guests and Bangkok residents.
However, many new dishes will make their appearance such as:
- - 'pat plaa meuk gap tua
warn' - stir fried baby squid with sugar snap peas
Baby squid cleaned and scored, stir-fried with sugar snap peas,
garlic. It is somewhat dark in colour because of ink from the squid.
- - 'yam dtakrai'
- lemongrass salad with pork and grilled prawns, toasted coconut
and squid This salad comes from Singhburi in the northern part of
the Central plains. It is an aromatic salad - salty, sharp, somewhat
spicy.
- - 'geng gati bpuu tarlae'
- coconut and turmeric curry of mud crab with southern limes This
curry from the southern provinces has a paste made from dried red
chili, red turmeric, shrimp paste and red shallots. It is rich,
salty, slightly sweet and sour.
