A Taste of Two Regions
Samui

From the cool mountains of Chiang Mai to the sun-kissed shores of Samui, two culinary worlds collide in delicious harmony at “Chiang Mai to Samui – A celebration of flavours and local finds”. For two nights, Chef Wai of Chiang Mai’s Michelin Bib-awarded Rasik Local Kitchen will join Chef Banana of FishHouse Restaurant & Bar at Kimpton Kitalay Samui to meld the soulful depth of northern Thai cuisine with the vibrant freshness of southern island fare.

Think Surat Thani oysters, curry leaves, amber leaves, and sea purslane, all woven seamlessly into dishes like Isaan-style Oyster Tartare on Rice Crisps, Young Tamarind Leaf Fritters with Crab, a bold Northern-style Seafood Laab, and a playful Thai Tiramisu with Chiang Mai cacao nibs. Each bite offers a journey through Thailand’s landscape.

On August 13, guests are invited to indulge in a 12-course extravaganza followed by a smaller eight-course feast the following day. Both sharing- style banquets will be served
at the beachfront FishHouse Restaurant & Bar. August 13-14, Kimpton Kitalay Samui, 10/79 Moo 5 Bophut, Choeng Mon Beach, Koh Samui, Surat Thani, www.kimptonkitalaysamui.com
