Editor’s Note:

The very wise Jack Handey once said, “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work, and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than to be selfish and worry about my liver?”

This quote appropriately leads into our story on the 50 Best Bars in Asia, recently announced at a gala event in Hong Kong. The excitement was palpable as the countdown revealed the top bars from 17 cities across the continent. In an incredible feat, Coa in Hong Kong emerged as the undisputed champion for the third consecutive year, retaining its title as The Best Bar in Asia.

Bangkok was well represented with four bars being recognized for their outstanding contributions to the Asian bar scene. Pull up a bar stool and turn to page 80 to see if your favorite BKK watering hole made the list.

After a several-year hiatus, the Eastern & Oriental Express, A Belmond Train, announced its highly anticipated return to the rails in February 2024. This iconic train, renowned for its luxurious travel experiences, is set to offer two new seasonal journeys that will take you on an enchanting exploration of Southeast Asia’s ever-changing landscapes and vibrant cities. Departing from Singapore, the train will unveil the Essence of Malaysia (November to February) and Wild Malaysia (March to October) journeys, promising unforgettable moments and a new standard of excellence in railway travel.

Embrace the Art of Giving: InterContinental Bangkok’s Phuang Malai Design Symbolises Completeness and Reunion

InterContinental Bangkok is set to welcome this year’s forthcoming Mid-Autumn Festival with treats of premium baked mooncakes, each with a corresponding signature gift box marking creative excellence and culinary craftmanship.

Traditionally, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the end of the autumn harvest, where families and friends come together for thanksgiving and worship. The celebration has since evolved into a gathering to moon-gaze together, where mooncakes are gifted and lanterns are displayed throughout cities.

InterContinental Bangkok’s 2023 mooncakes perfectly blend Thai tradition and distinctive flavours, with an exquisite gift box inspired by the beauty of a traditional Phuang Malai, a symbol of good luck, respect and honour, whereas the round shape of the garland box symbolises completeness and reunion, embellished in royal blue and elegant glittering gold patterns that pay homage to Bangkok’s skyline.

Crafted by local designers, the lavish festive packaging for InterContinental Bangkok’s mooncake gift boxes makes the perfect gift for any cherished relationship—family, friends or colleagues. The floral tassels of the Phuang Malai adorning each gift box are made from clay, infusing a unique touch of artist-

ry that reflects Thai heritage. Inspired by traditional Thai welcoming ceremonies, the Phuang Malai symbolise InterContinental Bangkok’s dedication to modern sophistication while paying homage to Thailand’s rich culture.

InterContinental Bangkok’s mooncakes are handcrafted in-house by the talented chefs of Summer Palace. They are sourced using the highest quality local ingredients for freshness. Sourcing locally is also a testament to InterContinental Bangkok’s commitment to sustainability by helping to reduce the hotels carbon footprint and supporting local Thai businesses.

Dominique Martinez, Food and Beverage Director of InterContinental Bangkok said,

“The Mid-Autumn festival is a great occasion to showcase Thailand’s diverse cultures and celebrations. This year at InterContinental Bangkok, we are introducing homemade mooncakes freshly baked daily and made with the most premium and quality ingredients by our talented culinary team at our Chinese restaurant Summer Palace. From the delicious flavours of each variation to the beautifully designed packaging suitable for gifts or simple personal enjoyment, our team has carefully crafted every detail of the mooncakes to make sure this year’s festival is the most enjoyable and delicious yet.”

Mooncakes will be available at Summer Palace and Butter from now until 29 September 2023, renowned dining venues at InterContinental Bangkok, from 11:30 to 22:30 hrs.

InterContinental Bangkok’s mooncakes are homemade on site. Flavours include luscious durian custard, aromatic coffee custard, mildly nutty red bean with egg yolk and sweet lotus seed with egg yolk.

Price details for InterContinental Bangkok’s Mooncakes are detailed below:

1. Single piece: THB 220 per box

2. Box of 4 pieces: THB 1,188 per box

Indulge Your Palate with the Sensational Thorny Sea Cucumber at Silk Road

Calling all culinary enthusiasts and food connoisseurs! Prepare to be tantalized by an exquisite culinary journey at Silk Road, where Chef Kam and his team are unveiling a delectable à la carte menu entirely dedicated to the alluring and succulent thorny sea cucumber, renowned for its distinctive texture and nutritional richness in Chinese cuisine.

Distinguished by its soft spikes or thorns, setting it apart from other sea cucumber varieties, this gem of the sea thrives in shallow waters on sandy seabeds, reaching a modest length of about 10cm (4 inches). Harvesting and preparing this delicacy demand exceptional skill and patience, but the end result is a true testament to the artistry of Chinese culinary masters, as the sea cucumber effortlessly absorbs the flavors of complementary ingredients while adding a luscious, glutinous quality to any dish it graces.

To ensure an unparalleled experience, Chef Kam exclusively sources the thorny sea cucumbers from the prime

coastal territory of Guangdong, Southeast China, nestled between the bustling cities of Hong Kong and Macao.

Prepare yourself for a delightful array of culinary presentations on the à la carte menu, each promising to delight your taste buds in its own unique way. Delicately double-boiled and served with a fragrant fish maw soup in a clay pot, the sea cucumber takes on a new dimension of flavor. For those who seek sheer indulgence, opt for the steamed version, either stuffed with bird’s nest or accompanied by millet sauce, or relish the creamy goodness in a preparation infused with egg white and fresh milk. And if you prefer the sizzling essence of wok-fried goodness, choose between two tempting variations - one artfully crafted with fresh chili, garlic, and hot basil, and the other, a Szechuan-style blend with minced pork, chili, and pepper.

This sumptuous thorny sea cucumber menu is exclusively available from 1 July to 31 August 2023, with prices start-

ing from THB 1200++. Don’t miss the chance to embark on this extraordinary gastronomic adventure and discover the allure of the sea’s finest delicacy at Silk Road. Reserve your table now and savor the true essence of Chinese culinary mastery. Bon appétit!

Discover the Epitome of Thai Luxury at Meliá Chiang Mai: Winner of Coveted Asia Pacific Property Awards 2023

Nestled in the heart of the enchanting city of Chiang Mai, Meliá Chiang Mai has recently added two prestigious accolades to its name - "Best Hotel Lobby Interior - Thailand" and "Best Hotel Spa Interior - Thailand" at the esteemed Asia Pacific Property Awards 2023. These awards, hosted annually by the International Property Awards and judged by a panel of over 100 industry experts, have solidified the hotel's reputation as an unrivaled gem in the Asia-Pacific region.

Celebrating its grand opening just 16 months ago, Meliá Chiang Mai has already achieved remarkable success in the world of interior design. The masterminds behind these breathtaking spaces are none other than PIA Interior, a team of gifted designers led by the visionary Mr. Songsak Rungkiattiwong. With passion and creativity, they set out on a mission to rejuvenate the iconic Pornping Tower Hotel, a symbol of Chiang Mai's rich history that had gracefully stood for nearly half a century.

Stepping into the hotel's lobby is akin to embarking on a transcendent journey of discovery. Drawing inspiration from various sources, the welcoming space weaves together symbols of fortune from the spiritual journey of Wat Umong, the charm of tung (a symbol

of good fortune), and the allure of the lanterns from the Yi Peng light festival. The centerpiece of the lobby is the tung sai moo, an objet d'art familiar to those who have experienced the vibrant Songkran festival, encased in a solid silver chat, symbolizing protection as seen atop temples throughout Thailand. The celestial silk Chinese lanterns adorning the ceiling add a touch of enchantment reminiscent of the Loy Kratong festival, while the teakwood panels engraved with geometric patterns by the region's hill tribe peoples create a sense of grounded elegance.

Descending from the lobby, guests are greeted by the YHI Spa, an oasis of tranquility boasting seven treatment rooms. Embracing an underwater theme, the spa's design pays homage to the ancient Wat Umong or Tunnel Temple, offering a blissful netherworld of Thai massage and aromatherapy treatments. The mazey corridors invite guests to unwind and find peace in a setting inspired by the captivating contrast between the twilight sky and the brick walls of Chiang Mai's Tha Phae Gate.

As the sun sets over the vibrant cityscape, Meliá Chiang Mai reveals its crowning jewel - Mai The Sky Bar, the highest rooftop bar in the city, majesti-

cally perched on the 22nd floor. Guests can stroll across a glass bridge while savoring breathtaking 360-degree views that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Meliá Chiang Mai, owned by Thailand's leading integrated lifestyle real estate group, Asset World Corporation (AWC), and launched by the esteemed Spanish hotel group Meliá Hotels International (MHI), stands as a testament to the resilience and dedication of the hospitality industry, being the first fivestar hotel to debut in Chiang Mai since the onset of the global pandemic. Comprising 260 luxurious keys, the resort offers a plethora of amenities, including Meliá's signature YHI Spa, a fully equipped fitness center, swimming pool, ballroom, kids' club, and three restaurants with a dedicated focus on Mediterranean and Lanna (Northern Thai) cuisines.

Whether you're seeking a tranquil retreat or an adventure-filled escape, Meliá Chiang Mai promises an experience like no other. To immerse yourself in the epitome of Thai luxury and make reservations, contact Meliá Chiang Mai at reservation.chiangmai@melia.com or call +66 52 090 699.

Run For A Cause: Hua Hin Marathon 2023 Champions Conservation and Wellness

On the sun-kissed shores of Hua Hin, a spectacular event unfolded on June 11th, attracting runners from across the globe, all gathered for a greater purpose. The Hua Hin Marathon, led by Chiva-Som Hua Hin and the Preserve Hua Hin Group, proved to be an awe-inspiring spectacle, drawing over 3,000 runners to participate in a race that went beyond just crossing the finish line.

Among the passionate runners were world-class athletes, Indian-born Sufiya Sufi, and Thailand’s cherished triathlete, Tulyatep Uawithya. Both remarkable individuals, serving as official ambassadors for Chiva-Som as part of the ‘Friends of Chiva-Som’ program, united in promoting wellness through fitness.

Sufiya Sufi, a multi-Guinness World Record ultramarathon champion, etched her name in history earlier this year with an astonishing feat. She conquered an arduous nearly 125-mile distance run across Qatar, from south to north, completing the journey at Zulal Wellness Resort, operated by Chiva-Som, in a remarkable 30 hours and 31 minutes, securing her fourth Guinness world record.

The Hua Hin Marathon was more than just a race; it was an opportunity to make a difference. All the runners rallied together to raise funds for the

Krailart Niwate Mangrove Preservation Project, a noble endeavor dedicated to conserving and regenerating the last remaining mangrove in Hua Hin. With every stride, they contributed to the preservation of this vital ecosystem.

Thrilled to be part of the event, Tulyatep Uawithya shared his perspective on running as a Friend of Chiva-Som, saying, “Chiva-Som’s approach to wellness is about the balance of mind, body, and spirit, which can be applied to running, especially marathons. Of course, we need to utilize our bodies to run, but also our minds. We have to have determination to reach the finish line. And our spirit is all about enjoying the moment so that we can reach our full potential.”

Sufiya, too, expressed her delight at the immersive experience of running alongside people from around the world, as well as the Chiva-Som team. The marathon allowed her to witness firsthand their passion for local and environmental wellness. Hua Hin, with its charm as a seaside town, served as the perfect backdrop for the event, bringing participants close to nature and the local community. The running routes took them through picturesque locations like Hua Hin town, the Khao Tao reservoir, and Hua Hin beach at sunrise, creating unforgettable memories of the journey.

Behind this inspiring event lies the collaborative effort of the Preserve Hua Hin Group, a non-profit organization spearheaded by Chiva-Som Hua Hin, the Hua Hin municipality, Prachuap Khiri Khan province, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The Hua Hin Marathon was initially launched with a vision to encourage public engagement in physical fitness for health and longevity, raise awareness of environmental and social sustainability, and preserve and develop Krailart Niwate, Hua Hin’s precious urban mangrove, as an eco-spiritual tourism center.

With each edition, the Hua Hin Marathon continues to make a lasting impact on the environment, wellness, and the sense of community in this charming coastal region. As the runners cross the finish line, they carry with them not only personal triumphs but also the knowledge that their passion for running has contributed to a cause greater than themselves. The Hua Hin Marathon exemplifies the spirit of unity and purpose that brings people from diverse backgrounds together to protect nature and nurture the soul, reminding us all that the journey towards a better world begins with a single step.

This month’s menu showcases seasonal herbs infused into delectable dishes such as Japanese rib-eye steak with garlic and ginger, seared tuna sashimi served in a ginger-soy-lime vinaigrette,

Venus clams in miso broth, and the mouthwatering sake-steamed tiger prawns – a guest favorite.

Chef John emphasizes that a true kaiseki experience transcends the taste buds, harmonizing textures, colors, and aromas to create unforgettable memories. It’s an art form that demands the utmost dedication, and each dish presented in the “Samurai Dinner Set” is a testament to Chef John’s passion and expertise.

L et’s Meet , Chef Dom

What is your full name and age?

Dominic Hong Dongxie, 33 years old.

What is your current Job Position?

SoCal Head Chef. SoCal is the new restaurant inside the newly refurbished InterContinental Bangkok Hotel.

What do you like most about your profession?

I like the intensity and the camaraderie of being in a kitchen and the ability to see our work being enjoyed by our customers.

How long have you lived in Bangkok, and where did you live prior?

2 years (2019-2021) and 3 months (march 2023 onwards). Before I’ve lived and worked in Dubai, Singapore, Sydney, Beijing, Shanghai & Taipei.

What do you like most about Bangkok?

Everything!

What is your favorite restaurant?

Thai Boat Noodles. It’s delicious and affordable, and the whole menu is nice, no weak dishes.

What is your favorite “Special Occasion” restaurant?

That would be my own kitchen at home because I don’t really have any “go to” restaurant for a special occasion, if it’s something special, I’ll be cooking most likely.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I’m pretty boring, the weekly life of a chef brings me enough excitement, so I usually spend my weekends just doing very homely tasks such as housekeeping, grocery shopping, reading etc. If I do have extended free time I’ll go travelling, usually Taipei or back home to Singapore to visit my family.

Where do you recommend first time visitors to Bangkok go?

I ask all my friends to go to “Mensho Tokyo” as to me it’s the best ramen I’ve ever had, also its uniquely Bangkok as they use local ingredients like lemongrass, kaffir lime and duck which you won’t find in any other ramen shop, not to mention its delicious. I recommend going in the late afternoon to avoid the queue.

On a night out with friends, where do you like to go?

I like going to Thonglor, it’s not too crowded and has the ideal mix of bars and restaurants for a night out with something for everyone at all price points.

Tell us a surprising fact that the public might not know about you?

I don’t speak Chinese very well despite my appearance and name. Despite being Singaporean I spent most of my younger years in American international schools and my teenage years in Sydney Australia so most people are surprised when I start talking.

What is the most outlandish thing you have ever done?

In my second year of business school in Singapore, I decided to become a Chef. ;D

L et’s Wine , 10 Gadgets To Take On Your Wine Journey

To fully appreciate and understand the world of wine, it’s essential to equip yourself with the right tools. From opening bottles with finesse to preserving the flavors of unfinished wines, these ten essential tools will not only enhance your wine-tasting adventure but also make it an enjoyable and informed one.

Wine Glasses:

Begin your wine journey with the most basic but crucial tool - proper wine glasses. Invest in a set of high-quality wine glasses designed for specific varietals. The right glass shape can significantly impact the wine’s aroma and flavor, allowing you to fully appreciate the nuances of each wine. Good glasses don’t necessarily have to be expensive. For example, the IVENTO line from Schott-Zwiesel has all the shapes nec-

essary and won’t cost you more than a bottle of wine for a set of 6 glasses. But they are made of crystal and are lightweight, 2 characteristics that you should look for in your first set of wine glasses.

Wine Opener: A reliable wine opener is an absolute must-have. There are various types available, such as the classic waiter’s corkscrew or the more modern electric opener. Choose one that suits your preference and level of expertise, ensuring you can smoothly uncork your bottles without damaging the cork or the wine. My personal preference goes to double-hinged waiter’s corkscrews as they allow to pull the cork straight with pulling to the front and breaking the cork. They can be found for cheap on online shopping platforms.

46 H O T MAGAZINE

Wine Decanter:

Unlock the full potential of your wines by utilizing a wine decanter. This essential tool aerates the wine, allowing it to breathe and develop its flavors fully. Decanters also help to remove any sediment in older wines, ensuring a smoother and more pleasurable drinking experience. Also, it usually impresses your guests and makes your wine look like a million bucks. Decanters come in all shapes and sizes and there is one for all budgets. Don’t hesitate to ask your local wine shops to show you their inventory.

Wine Stopper:

Sometimes you may not finish an entire bottle of wine in one sitting. In such cases, a wine stopper becomes invaluable. Opt for a vacuum wine stopper, which removes excess air from the bottle, helping preserve the wine’s freshness and taste for a longer period. Sparkling wine stoppers will usually have a locking system to preserve the bubbles, but be very careful when you reopen them as the pressure builds up and can cause injuries.

accurately, ensuring you serve it at its optimal level - whether it’s a crisp white or a rich red.

Wine Notebook:

Keep track of your wine journey and tasting experiences with a dedicated wine notebook. Jot down your impressions, favorite wines, and pairing discoveries. This journal will serve as a valuable reference as you continue to explore the vast world of wines. Nowadays, you will find apps that can help you keep track of the steps of your journey.

designed to aerate the wine further as it flows into the glass.

Wine Education:

While not a tangible tool, wine education is an invaluable asset in your wine journey. Invest time in reading books, attending tastings, and engaging in online courses to expand your knowledge and appreciation of wine. Understanding the grape varieties, winemaking techniques, and different wine regions will enrich your tasting experiences and allow you to make informed choices

From the basics like proper glassware and corkscrews to more advanced tools like decanters and wine thermometers, each of these essentials plays a crucial role in enhancing your wine-tasting experiences. But remember that most times it is better to invest in the software (your knowledge) rather than the hardware (the tools).

Thierry Berno is the Branch Manager for Italasia Hua Hin. His love of wine began in South Korea, mentored by Kwak Dong Young, the first Korean recipient of the French BP sommelier, and legendary chef Pierre Gagnaire whose passion inspired him.

Wine Fridge:

Wine Aerator:

For those moments when you want to enjoy a glass of wine without waiting for it to decant fully, a wine aerator comes to the rescue. This handy tool quickly introduces air to the wine as you pour it, enhancing its aromas and flavors almost instantly.

Wine Thermometer:

It might seem like a posh gadget to own and use, but it is essential in a country like Thailand. Temperature plays a vital role in serving wine correctly. A wine thermometer will help you monitor the wine’s temperature

If you’re serious about wine collecting and aging, consider investing in a wine fridge. These specialized refrigerators maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level, crucial for preserving the quality of your wines over time. As we discussed in last month’s column, if you don’t want to make such an investment, wine can be kept in the fridge for short periods of time or in a cool and dry place (albeit not an easy find in Hua Hin).

Wine Pourer:

A wine pourer or spout attachment ensures a controlled and steady pour, preventing drips and spills while serving. Some wine pourers are also

L et’s Eat , Brezza Beach Bar & Restaurant, Avani+ Hua Hin

Avani+ Resort on Hua Hin’s northern border is well known to locals for its highly popular monthly “Wine Me

Up” themed events. Local foodies and social souls rave about the exquisite food, quality beverages, and captivating music this fun event provides. Perhaps, the Resort’s beachside restaurant and bar, Brezza, is less known to locals. Thanks to a recent visit, the Let’s Eat team can recommend adding Brezza to your dining-out list.

Brezza’s setting, overlooking the beach and azure Gulf of Thailand waters, takes full advantage of its namesake, the ocean breeze. Be seated at tables atop the seawall for the best views, the gentle lap of water on the sand below your calming soundtrack, or on grassed areas immediately behind. This laid-back alfresco dining epitomises what Hua Hin life is all about.

Brezza’s attentive staff will tempt with signature cocktails as you peruse the extensive Thai and European menu

choices. Given the oceanside location, there is a seafood-forward emphasis across Brezza’s food offering. Vegetarian diners will also find a complete menu section dedicated to them, including dessert choices. And with ninety per cent of the produce used being sourced locally, freshness is at the forefront of Brezza’s modern food offering.

Michelin star-trained Executive Chef “Gibb” Adtavorn Charoonpontithi oversees food operations at Avani+ and Anantara Hua Hin Resorts. From

64 H O T MAGAZINE

our Brezza experience and last month’s visit to Baan Thalia at Anantara, we have been genuinely impressed with Chef’s influence on both Resort’s food offerings. Its generosity, refinement, exquisite flavours, venue-specific styling, and modern presentations without the over-the-top showiness are to be applauded.

Whether it be date night, a romantic outing, or a family or friends gathering, we recommend a family-style sharing approach to your food ordering to

make the most of Chef’s generosity. The restaurant’s wine list has an excellent selection of quality wines by the glass and a curated list of sparkling, white, rose and red bottled wines from across the world. Our food journey started with the delivery of complimentary miniature-sized flatbread pillows accompanied by Aioli.

For starters, we sampled three salad dishes. A larb-style tuna and salmon salad with avocado and crunchy rice crackers. The Brezza Salad with grilled

prawns and chicken breast pieces with a classic Cocktail Sauce dressing. And a Salmon Salad with grilled salmon fillet, fresh salad leaves including radicchio, clove-spiced beetroot pieces, orange and avocado, all topped with generous dollops of salmon roe. All the salad dressings were served on the side, providing a choice of the amount to add. A fresh, light and seafood-centric start to the meal.

For mains, we chose two Asian dishes, seafood pasta and a beef dish from the European side of the menu. First, Fried Rice in Shrimp Fat – shrimp fat is all the flavour-rich elements in the prawn heads. This tasty rice is topped with a grilled jumbo prawn, steamed bok choy and a luscious sous-vide cooked egg. Next, a creamy, spiced red curry with duck. The duck breast, rendered and cooked to blushing pink, was sliced and served atop the curry sauce along with barbecues lychees. The smoky flavours on the duck and lychees heightened the taste sensation of this rich curry.

Our Angel Hair Pasta dish was filled with slices of fresh salmon and flavoured with a creamy tomato and vodka sauce. For added luxurious extravagance, the pasta was topped with caviar for that extra salty seafood pop in your mouth. Finally, an aged Australian 220-gram beef steak. Cooked to our liking and served with sauteed spinach and grilled king oyster mushroom with Chef’s beef sauce on the side. The cut of the beef is called Picanha and is exceptionally popular in Brazil. It can be called Rump Cap or Sirlon Cap in other parts of the world. It is cherished for its beautifully tender and juicy flavour when grilled while not being an overly expensive cut of meat.

Given the feast we had sampled, we kept dessert to two dishes. Chef’s unbaked cheesecake – two cream cheese-flavoured disks of delight accompanied by a mixed berry ice cream. And a dessert heroing the local region’s palm sugar titled Reflections of Brezza. Light as air cake sponge, a biscuity crumb and a palm sugar-flavoured ice cream with an appealing light caramel essence. Fitting dishes to end our Brezza food journey.

68 H O T MAGAZINE

Brezza regularly offers dining promotions like their BBQ Seafood Feast featuring a wide variety of the freshest seafood paired with international delights. However, the promotion all Hua Hin foodies need to watch for is their forthcoming “Unveiling Wagyu’s Secrets”, indulging in the unparalleled flavour, tenderness, and quality that makes Wagyu beef a true culinary masterpiece. Highlights include - grilled wagyu tenderloin with truffle potatoes; Wagyu strip-loin fried rice; Wagyu ribeye with baked spinach and wedges; Thai-style crying tiger Wagyu; the 48 hours beef cheek, and much more. Available till the end of October 2023. Watch Avani+ social media channel for details.

Avani+ Hua Hin’s beachside restaurant and bar, Brezza, is worth adding to your must-try list and operates daily from 11:30 am to 11 pm. Their Happy Hour from 4:30 to 6:30 pm with a buy 1 get 1 offering is ideal for relaxing over your chilled beverages while taking in the sunset colours and end-of-day beach activities.
