MasterChef David Thompson |
nahm at Metropolitan, Bangkok |
Street Markets of Chiang Mai |
David said: "You can eat exceptionally well on the
streets and markets of Thailand.
Everyone who lives in Thailand
has their favourite places to eat—both upmarket restaurants and further down
the scale. I now actually prefer eating on the streets where the eating's good
and relaxed. Really good places can be hard to find but look for the busiest
ones—they are so for a reason."
nahm at The Halkin London |
nahm at Metropolitan, Bangkok,
which is part of the COMO Hotels and Resorts group, opened to critical acclaim
in 2010. Since then it has come to be regarded as one of the leading Thai
restaurants in Bangkok.
Here standout Thai dishes include a coconut and turmeric curry of blue swimmer
crab or lemongrass salad with porks, prawns and squid. There is also
a colourful array of traditional salty and sweet Thai desserts and an
extensive wine menu.
In London, nahm at The
Halkin, which is also a COMO
property, has had a loyal following in the capital since opening in 2001. The
restaurant is warm yet eminently modern with generously spaced tables and
sleek, Asian-style service.
