THAILAND-COPENHAGEN COLLAB
Bangkok’s recently Michelin-starred Restaurant Gaa by chef Garima Arora is teaming up with Kristian Baumann, chef-owner of Copenhagen’s Michelin-starred Restaurant 108, for their first-ever collaboration dinner on Dec 7 and 8.
Known for her passion for naturally foraged ingredients and science-centric cooking, Indian native Garima used to work at Denmark’s Noma, formerly ranked No.1 on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, and at Thailand’s Gaggan, which ranks No.5 on the current list.
Garima defines Gaa’s cuisine as modern, eclectic and intellectual. She transforms lowkey local produce into new, multidimensional flavours that, as she says, reflect the richness and variety of the land and the moment in time.
Kristian Baumann is an also alumnus of Noma. The Korean-born Dane chef co-founded Restaurant 108 in Copenhagen’s Christianshavn district in 2016. Within the first year of its operation, the restaurant fetched him a Michelin star and later went on to be ranked No.98 on the world’s-best list of 2018.
The collaboration dinner will delight guests with a multicourse gourmet meal consisting of Kristian and Garima’s original creations.
The featured menu includes highlights such as rausu konbu ice cream with Royal Belgian caviar and hazelnut oil; greens and herbs from Krogerup with almond sorbet and roasted seaweed paste; lobster claw and white currants in bisque sauce; and a platter of summer flowers, green peas and last year’s cep mushrooms.
The Gaa x 108 Collaboration Dinner will be held at Restaurant Gaa on Soi Lang Suan on Dec 7 and 8. Price is 4,500 baht per person. Special selections of pairing juice and wine are also available. For more information and reservations, call 091-419-2424 or email reservation@gaabkk.com.
