SAVORING MODERN SIAM

Nestled in the bustling ICONSIAM, Lay Lao adopts a modern take on Thai cuisine, bringing a masterful balance of flavors

Upon learning that RSVP Lifestyle Asia will travel to Bangkok, one of the things about the trip that excited me was tasting the wonderful cuisine of Thailand. Apart from its history rich in culture and remarkable art, the country is best known for its thriving food scene. From street food culture to their lavish gourmet, their meals are all about the artful balance of textures and tastes. It ranges from spicy and salty to sweet and sour profiles as Thai cuisine takes on different forms across provincial borders. Divided into four regions of North, Northeastern, Central, and South, each boasts of a distinct taste, appealing to both casual and adventurous food enthusiasts. For the RSVP event, we partnered with ICONSIAM’s Lay Lao restaurant to serve only the top-of-the-line gourmet to our distinguished guests. Winner of the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand Bangkok for three consecutive years (2018 to 2020) in its Ari branch, Lay Lao is nothing short of a world-class restaurant. It serves a wide variety of Isan or Northeastern Thailand classics and the freshest bounty of seafood. It makes sense, as Lay Lao began from the dishes of a small family in Hua-Hin, a well-known beach district in Thailand. Putting together the best ingredients from local fishermen neighbors and close friends, the family developed the spread of Lay Lao, a mix of Northeastern region flavors and Phetchaburi province’s taste. Bringing together the defining characteristics of these places, Lay Lao creates an unforgettable Thai culinary journey.
