Le Du x Labyrinth
Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn, the chef-owner of modern Thai fine-dining restaurant Le Du, continues his working relationship with chef Han Li Guang of Singapore’s Michelin-starred Labyrinth. The pair teamed up in Aug for a collaborative dinner in Singapore; now it’s Bangkok’s turn on Sep 14. Much like Ton, chef Han has been credited with incorporating modern Singaporean flavors into his restaurant’s multi-course feasts. For B2,900 per person (add B1,800 for wine pairings), you get six courses covering dishes like Ton’s oyster with Thai rice wine, river prawn with shrimp paste and black jasmine rice; and Han’s local crab with chili ice cream and salted fish, and pork cheek “char siew” with barley and pickled bok choy. UPDATE: The event is booked out.
