Thailand waited a long time for the Intercontinental in Khao Yai, the train-themed ultra-luxe hotel designed by Bill Bensley. Now, they’re bringing a little something extra for the foodies with a visit from guest chef Danny Huynh from Aug 9-12.  

 

Coming from the Regent Phu Quoc, Danny Huynh, from the top six of Vietnam Top Chef, will be putting on a special menu mirroring the train theme of the Intercontinental Bangkok, going from Phu Quoc’s shore to Thailand’s jungles, all found at the Poirot Restaurant, named for Agatha Christie’s favorite Belgian detective. 

 

The dinner starts at the sea with the first “stop” in Phu Quoc for Hokkaido scallop crudo featuring Phu Quoc rose myrtle before moving onto the HCMC inspired blue crab bánh canh ghẹ. The third stop is inspired by the ancient Hue capital at for Canadian lobster bánh dúc Huế with rice flour and Củ nén” chives. 

 

The penultimate stop is in Hanoi for Pan-seared Toothfish Fillet. The four-course dinner from Daniel Huynh will include a dessert from the InterContinental Khao Yai Resort’s Executive Chef Nirut Pochsalee to bring the flavors back home as the train terminates in the jungle for a mango, mulberry, and avocado mille feuille. 

 

The Shores of Phu Quoc to the Heart of Khao Yai dinner is priced at B3,900 with a wine pairing for an additional B1,300, and a veggie option is available. Reservations are currently open.
