Ms.Jigger, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok’s contemporary Italian restaurant, partners with Aromkwan, Bangkok’s renowned Asian smokehouse, for a special six-course multi-cultural set dinner for one night only on Saturday, 15 June 2024. The fusion feast celebrates the decade-long bond of two chefs formed in the heart of the kitchen.
Chef “Bank” Vishnu Prempuk founded Aromkwan Asian smokery in Bangkok in 2019. Aromkwan blends Chef Bank’s diverse Malaysian-Indian-Thai-Chinese cultural background and love for BBQ cooking with Southeast Asian culinary traditions, for a dining experience born from a chef’s uniquely diverse passions.
Ms.Jigger’s Chef Davide Caló and Chef Bank had worked together from 2013 to 2018 at one of Bangkok’s famed Italian restaurants, where Chef Davide was its Executive Chef and Chef Bank his Sous Chef. They were not only colleagues, they were practically brothers. They reunited at Kimpton Maa Lai Bangkok’s Chilli Fest 2024 and a new collaboration was ignited, with the upcoming Ms.Jigger x Aromkwan dinner the happy result.
Italian finesse meets Asian smokery, with Chef Davide’s Italian roots seamlessly melding with Chef Bank’s culinary melting-pot background. The meal starts with a starter of Kaprao Arancino with truffle and Mazara del Vallo red prawn, nduja and lemon grass mayo. The meal progresses with Tortelli pasta filled with smoked goat meat with curry jus, followed by delicately grilled toothfish, Italian cherry tomato sambal and pandan-smoked white asparagus. The meat main dish for sharing is a Chef Bank signature, tender pork knuckle curry with a side of saffron risotto saffron with crispy pork skin and “Italasian” spicy slaw and red onion compote. The decadent meal ends on a delicious East-West note with coconut panna cotta with Isaan rum caramelised fruits.
