“ODE TO HERITAGE”
TATE DINING ROOM X POTONG COLLABORATION
As part of the collaboration between 2 chefs including:
Chef Vicky Lau, 2-MICHELIN STARS from TATE DINING ROOM, WORLD'S 50 BEST RESTAURANTS - Asia's Best Female Chef Award - 2015, Hong Kong
Chef “Pam” Pichaya Soontornyanakij (Chef Pam), 1-MICHELIN STAR Restaurant from POTONG, World Best New Restaurant 2022 Condé Nast Traveler, WORLD'S 50 BEST RESTAURANTS - #35 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, Bangkok Thailand
The collaboration is part of a dining series at two different venues:
17-18th May 2023 | 210 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan, Central, Hong Kong
24th January 2024 | Restaurant POTONG, 422 Vanich 1, Samphanthawong, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100 | Reservation for 30 guests
Chef Pam and Chef Vicky Lau met during the Michelin Guide Gala Dinner in Thailand in 2022. They have begun friendship and work collaboration since.
The ‘Ode To’ menu series is Chef Vicky Lau’s in-depth study of a sole ingredient which leads to a final thesis exploring all facets that make up the subject. Every-day ingredients and flavors that make up the foundation of Chinese cuisine are deconstructed into a single menu theme requiring countless hours spent with farmers and producers of such products to understand its historical, cultural, and anthropological purpose.
While POTONG’s culinary exploration unveils a progressive thai-chinese cuisine, embracing 5 elements, 5 senses naming salt, acid, spice, texture, and Maillard reaction -every element encompasses its very own unique and inherent properties and when combined, they work simultaneously to create one united universe. Together with sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch - we believe that it only takes a moment to make memories and a lifetime to forget them, memory can be formulated and that can only happen when these senses are initiated simultaneously.
Together they decided to name this collaboration “ODE TO HERITAGE” - Memories on the Plate: Two Flavors, One Unforgettable Experience.
We hope you enjoy the dining experience that our team from both restaurants had prepared for you tonight.
