Two Italian chefs... Cooking up a storm
A
ccording to a survey of 25,000 people undertaken last year, Italian cuisine is ranked the number one most popular national cuisine in the world, with Chinese second and Japanese third. This is, I suppose, fairly unsurprising bearing in mind the fundamentals of Italian cuisine are pizza, pasta and loads of cheese –
the ultimate comfort food. When looking a little closer at the results across only Thailand, predictably Thai cuisine came first, ahead of Chinese, Japanese and Korean with Italian a respectable fifth. With an estimated five hundred plus Italian restaurants across Thailand, it is indeed the leading non-Asian cuisine. However, only 14 of these restaurants
feature in the current edition of the Michelin guide and we are extremely fortunate to have four of these gems in Phuket. Italian food does mean different things to different people; from the lowly but classic Margarita pizza all the way up to an exquisitely refined dish of fagottelli carbonara.
