Welcome Summer With R-HAAN’s Fine Dining Menu
As the summer sun warms Thailand, let us introduce you to R-HAAN’s Summer Samrub. While "Samrub" simply means "menu," at R-HAAN, it takes on a special meaning. It's your invitation to experience a taste of Thai royalty.
Chef Chumphol's exquisite creations are interpretations of dishes enjoyed by the Thai royal family for generations. The summer fine dining menu is a multi-course meal that celebrates the exciting, fresh flavors of the season with seasonal ingredients.
A Celebration Of Regional Summer Bounty
Inspired by Thailand's diverse local ingredients, Chef Chumphol Jangprai and co-founder Mr Todd-Piti Bhirombhakdi invite you to explore a summer menu that celebrates the power of Thai herbs. Each dish in the course is designed to reflect the age-old wisdom of Thai medicinal herbs, which are internationally acclaimed for their benefits.
A Feast For The Senses
Thai cuisine is globally famous for its rich and harmonious blending of flavors, creating a multisensory experience. This summer, prepare to be captivated by “Thai Summer Wisdom" at R-HAAN. Our multi-course menu is designed to engage all five senses for a holistic dining experience.
Our summer fine dining menu focuses on the interplay of eight core flavors – sour, sweet, oily, salty, spicy, bitter, astringent, and fizzy – that serve as the foundation for each dish. The tartness of citrus and tamarind, the sweetness of palm sugar, the warmth of chili, and the nuanced bitterness of herbs combine to create a complex, multi-layered taste. Garnished with local herbs and spices, our dishes infuse the air with aromatic notes that beckon your nose even before the first bite. You will also discover Chef Chumpol’s play on textures with each bite, adding excitement to your meal. Visually, the dishes are presented with an eye for detail, featuring colorful ingredients that reflect Thailand's diverse regions.
R-HAAN’s Summer Samrub
Our summer fine dining menu will take you on a tasting tour through five regions in Thailand. It features specialty summer bounties such as young coconut shoots, GI coconut milk, and Doi Inthanon Royal Project caviar.
You will be starting with Dried Watermelon Fish, Nan Chaloem Phrakiat Jackfruit Salad, Sai Buri Wisdom Andaman Rice, Red Ant Egg Larb in Hot Curry, and Mae Pu Khai Kai Ja Rayong Hi Pu Ja (deep-fried crab meat with eggs from Rayong province). Red ant eggs are a highlight of our menu and a summer specialty in Thailand. Laid by ants during the hot, humid months, their popping texture and unique savory and sour flavor add umami to the dish.
Your taste test journey continues with one of the stars of our menu - a stunning Phuket Lobster in seven colors and seven flavors and a delectable snow fish topped with chili.
Chef Chumpol will invite guests to choose three of the four dishes for the main course. Before you choose your main course, you will be presented with the Emerald of Siam Loi Kaew course as a palette refresher - you can choose between a Kaffir lime in syrup or a Sweet Bergamot dessert. For the main courses, will it be the world-famous UNESCO-recognized Tom Yum Kung or perhaps the fiery Lanna Chili Paste with 5 Tomatoes? If you want something richer, the Red Grouper with Yellow Curry is a decadent choice. The hearty Kua Kling Duck hailing from western farms is also a fantastic option. All options are served with fragrant jasmine rice from Thung Kula Rong Hai or a mix of nine types of brown rice.
End your meal on a sweet note with a dessert set featuring Mango Sticky Rice of Siam and Summer Somchun. Also, enjoy our pretty Four Thai dessert set, including Monthong Thai Macarons, Chocolate Watermelon, Royal Mangosteen, and Peach Full Summer.
