In Thailand, food isn’t simply a meal– it’s a story informed through herbs, spices, and balance. For Piched Paoleng, who matured finding out to prepare next to his mom in Bangkok, that story starts with credibility. “The taste, I will not alter,” he states securely with a warm smile. “Only the discussion– to make it look lovely for the visitors.”
From October 16 to 18, The Leela Palace Hyderabad changes its classy Raen– The Chef’s Studio into a little piece of Thailand. This unique three-day pop-up is not practically meals, however about a lifestyle where flavour leads and whatever else follows.
At the heart of Chef Piched’s menu is Panang Kae– lamb chops marinaded to excellence and bathed in an abundant, fragrant Panang curry made with his own house-blend paste. “This curry is really near my heart. It’s the exact same dish my mom taught me, however I have actually improved it for the hotel kitchen area,” he shares. Alongside, Yam Som O, a pomelo salad made with fruit flown in from Thailand, catches the freshness and brightness of Thai food, its sweet-sour notes dancing on the taste buds.
The pop-up commemorates the subtle intricacy of Thai soups too. The Tom Kathi Goong, a coconut soup instilled with lemongrass, galangal, and Thai herbs, shows up smooth and aromatic– an ideal balance of spicy, sour, and velvety. Vegetarians aren’t left either, with tofu satay served along with a smooth peanut sauce and a Yellow Curry Phak showcasing seasonal veggies served with the fragrant Jasmine rice.
What sets Thai dining apart, Chef Piched discusses, is how it’s skilled. “In Thailand, we consume whatever together– soup, salad, curry, rice. Here, visitors enjoy it course by course. The soul of the food is the very same,” he states.
His active ingredients, from pomelo to herbs and mushrooms, are sourced straight from Thailand to keep the food’s stability. “I bring the taste of home with me,” he includes.
As the last course, Tub Tim Krob, a standard dessert of water chestnuts in cooled coconut milk, brings the night to a mild close– light, revitalizing, and clearly Thai.
With this pop-up, The Leela Palace Hyderabad continues its custom of curating international cooking stories. For those looking for more than simply a meal, Chef Piched deals a journey– one that begins in the streets of Bangkok and ends, delightfully, in Hyderabad.
