มื้อเย็น

Extremely impressed by my dinner at Gaa a couple of nights ago. A few points of note: 1. There is a lot more Indian flavour notes than I expected, and that I believe is due to Chef Garima's heritage, and it's really not a bad thing, especially in this market where such spices are well-accepted. 2. Aside of the caviar add-on(even that, is local Royal Project caviar), there were no fancy ingredients. Mostly local, the mains were local scallop, crayfish, grouper and pork. It is proof that really really good things can be done with local ingredients, as long as they are in the right hands. 3. Take note of their home-made drinks, the lychee sake and coffee Kombucha were nothing short of excellent. As a summary, why I like Gaa so much is the fact that many of their dishes are conceptually challenging, yet when you eat them, they are pleasant to the palate and the flavour combinations actually make sense. I maintain that Suhring is one of the safest places to impress someone, but if you ask me personally, being Asian, Gaa's flavours lure me back more and will be my choice for a repeat visit in comparison. Please visit when the prices are still very accessible (2800THB for their 14-course) and the recommended reservation needs to only be done a week in advance. Can't promise this if you hold your horses for too long. #restaurantgaa #gaa #bangkokfoodies #strangerfirstimpression #strangerinbangkok #toptables
