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.

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.

1. Single piece: THB 220 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Now, after years of honing his skills, Chef John embraces the opportu-

nity to share the essence of kaiseki with patrons at the luxurious Banyan Tree Samui resort.

Kaiseki, a revered multi-course meal traditionally served to royalty and esteemed guests in Japan, is a delightful celebration of simplicity and precision. Chef John’s artistry lies in elevating humble ingredients like soup and rice into culinary masterpieces that exude an aura of honor and respect.

Indulge in the “Samurai Dinner Set” at the resort’s charming Sands Restaurant, where each dish is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, creating a dining experience fit for royalty. 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.

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).

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

T&S Contract Furniture: Italian Craftsmanship and Luxury Design in Thailand

Attilio Sala and Mattia Taminelli, two Italian craftsmen with a passion for woodworking and furniture assembly, joined forces to create T&S Contract Furniture. With over 25 years of combined experience, their expertise lies in designing, manufacturing, and installing luxury furniture to impeccable Italian standards. Located in Hua Hin, their showroom

showcases a range of sample furniture and materials.

Attilio Sala’s journey began in Zanica, Italy. After completing eighth grade, he embarked on an apprenticeship as a carpenter, where he discovered his passion for transforming various types of wood into diverse objects using different processing techniques. This passion led

him to work for a renowned furnishings company, honing his skills and expanding his creativity. Eager to explore new horizons, Attilio embarked on a work journey that took him across Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, Greece, America, the Middle East, and Asia. However, it was during a project in Moscow that fate brought him together with fellow Italian Mattia Taminelli, who

would later become his business partner and close friend.

Born and raised in Seriate, Italy, Mattia Taminelli shared Attilio’s drive for hard work and goal achievement from a young age. He pursued a career in carpentry and furniture assembly, gaining valuable experience and working on projects around the world. It was in Moscow that

he crossed paths with Attilio, and their shared vision for craftsmanship and design inspired them to establish T&S Contract Furniture in Hua Hin at the end of 2017.

With a dedication to delivering luxury furniture of the highest quality, Attilio and Mattia bring their extensive experience and expertise to every project they

undertake. Their showroom, located in Hua Hin, offers a glimpse into their craftsmanship, with sample furniture and materials on display. In the coming months, they have plans to expand the showroom to include a sample kitchen, wine cellar, living room, and bedroom, allowing clients to experience their impeccable craftsmanship firsthand.

As a custom shop, T&S Contract Furniture caters to the unique needs and preferences of each client. They often receive requests to replicate specific kitchen designs, bathroom layouts, or loose furniture based on photographs provided by clients. The team at T&S Contract Furniture also welcomes clients who come with ideas and collaborate closely with them to bring their vision to life.

While their showroom is based in Hua Hin, Attilio, Mattia, and their dedicated team work throughout Thailand, with a significant presence in Bangkok. Their portfolio includes collaborations with both commercial and residential clients, offering not only custom furniture but also a range of additional services. These services include interior design, installation services, Italian doors, outdoor furniture, imported materials from Europe, innovative fittings, built-in furniture, wall paint decoration, smart lighting systems, and Italian loose furniture such as beds and sofas.

T&S Contract Furniture is committed to providing exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a seamless experience for their clients. With their deep-rooted Italian heritage and a passion for creating exquisite pieces, Attilio and Mattia bring a touch of luxury and sophistication to the Thai market. Whether it’s transforming a residential space into a haven of elegance or creating a statement in a commercial establishment, T&S Contract Furniture is dedicated to exceeding expectations and making every project a true work of art.

Visit T&S Contract Furniture’s showroom, located on Petchakasem Road, to explore their range of luxury furniture and experience the exceptional craftsmanship firsthand.

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

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.

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. For enquiries or reservations, call 032 898 989 or email fb.vhhv@avanihotels.com. For further details, visit www.avanihotels.com/en/ hua-hin/

Belmond’s Eastern & Oriental Express Southeast Asia’s Unforgettable Rail Journey Returns in 2024

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.

Restyling of an Icon

The Eastern & Oriental Express returns with 15 restyled carriages, including eight sleeping cars, two restaurant cars, a Piano Bar Car, and the iconic open-air Observation Car. Prepare to be dazzled by the contemporary grandeur that pervades the train, showcasing Southeast Asia’s layered vibrancy through meticulously curated design details and color schemes.

Step into warm sanctuaries adorned with cherry wood paneling in the three different cabin categories: Pullman, State, and Presidential. The Pullman cabins, inspired by the radiance of Kuala Lumpur, feature vibrant red sofas

juxtaposed with blue cushions, drapery, and pelmets that mirror the city’s dramatic skies. Reflecting Penang’s marine locale, the State cabins present a soothing blue and green color palette. The Presidential cabins epitomize regional opulence, adorned with golden hues and embroidered décor elements. Design highlights include the eye-catching green carpet with a Tiger Orchid blooming across the entire length of the Piano Bar Car, traditional Malay batik infilling the carpets in the Malay restaurant, and the laid-back interiors of the Observation Car, enhanced by natural wicker details, colorful cushions, and hand-painted pots that add a playful touch to the train experience.

Life on Board: A Celebration of Local Culture

Stepping aboard the Eastern & Oriental Express, guests are invited to immerse themselves in the captivating culture of Southeast Asia at every moment. Each day is filled with exciting encounters with local characters and passionate artisans, who will unveil the secrets of the region, share ancient crafts, and regale century-old tales. The enchanting melodies of Nanyang jazz and vintage Malay tunes will serenade guests throughout the evenings, creating a truly immersive experience.

The train’s culinary offerings are a highlight of the journey. The train’s Executive Chef, renowned for his expertise in Peranakan cuisine, will curate a menu that celebrates the rich culinary traditions of Southeast Asia. Drawing inspiration from the Peranakan culture—a fusion of Chinese, Malay, and other Southeast Asian influences—each meal will be a culinary journey through the region’s vibrant flavors and local ingredients.

The Essence of Malaysia: Gateway into Malay Culture

Embark on a three-night journey through Malaysia’s western wonders with the Essence of Malaysia itinerary. Beginning in Singapore, the train will take you through Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, and finally to the colorful island of Penang. After a day of indulgence on board, guests will disembark in Alor Setar for a private cruise to Langkawi. For the first time, the Eastern & Oriental Express will offer an exciting snorkeling excursion at Pulau Payar Marine Park, Langkawi’s prime snorkeling spot, allowing guests to get up close with the underwater wonders.

The third day is dedicated to exploring Penang, a multicultural island known for its UNESCO World Heritage sites, lively street art, and tantalizing food scene. Delve deep into the essence of Penang by visiting local art galleries and ancient temples in George Town’s Old Quarter, exploring the vibrant local markets, participating in an authentic Peranakan cooking class in a private hillside residence followed by a traditional tea ceremony, or simply soaking up the picturesque views of George Town’s streets. After immersing yourself in Penang’s vibrant culture, rejoin the train and continue your journey south towards Singapore.

Wild Malaysia: Discovering Sights Unseen

For the adventurous souls, the Eastern & Oriental Express presents the Wild Malaysia itinerary. This brand-new journey covers the untouched areas surrounding the ‘Jungle Railway’ on the eastern side of the peninsula, offering guests a unique opportunity to visit the Taman Negara National Park. Created in collaboration with the global tiger conservation organization, Save Wild Tigers, this journey combines moments of blissful relaxation on the train with thrilling adventures. The Taman Negara National Park, one of the oldest tropical rainforests in the world, is a true explorer’s paradise, home to a diverse range of species, including tigers, leopards, and Sumatran rhinos. Guests can embark on various excursions, from learning about the safeguarding of the Malayan Tiger to a one-of-a-kind photography masterclass and a foraging experience in the jungle.

After an inspiring immersion in the rainforest, guests will travel to the west side to explore Penang. With three different activities to choose from, guests can delve into Penang’s artistic, culinary, and historic heritage, immersing themselves in the local culture. As the journey concludes, guests will savor their final night on board the train.

Whether you choose the Essence of Malaysia or Wild Malaysia itinerary, you’ll be immersed in captivating cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and unrivaled luxury. The return of this iconic train is set to redefine railway travel in the region, offering an unforgettable experience that seamlessly blends adventure, relaxation, and cultural exploration.
