The Thai cuisine is truly magical — and when you add culinary talent to it, the result is nothing short of fireworks. Chef-owner Tam Chudaree Debhakam brings her own vision, with a strong focus on sustainability and ecology. Ingredients are of course local and seasonal, always treated with respect. In a previous chapter of her career, Chef Tam worked at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, where everything revolves around what nature gives to the kitchen. Combined with her degree in Nutrition and Food Science, this provides a healthy and high-quality foundation for her unique culinary approach. Her motto says it all: “Curate and create environmentally conscious, locally inspired menus alongside local communities.” She is clearly deeply engaged and committed. All the more reason why it feels a little unfortunate that a 100% pure plant menu is not (yet) part of the offering. Chef, could this be your next challenge?
