Gaggan Bangkok

At around 5pm, we walked back to Gaggan to make sure we were in plenty of time to secure one of the coveted few seats at the Chef's Table for our 5:30pm seating.

Gaggan staff enjoying their pre-game meal at what appeared to be an auxiliary kitchen across the alley.

Just before 5:30pm, we were escorted upstairs to the Chef's Table for what turned out to be an amazing and memorable evening of fabulous food, good wine, great music and great entertainment from an incredibly talented and outgoing staff including Polish-American sous-chef Radek Zarebinski and an amiable young American sommelier Ottara Pyne.

The menu is 25 simple emojis, representing the 25 different tasting menu courses.

We both opted for the wine pairing, which included nine different wines.  Pours were generous as were the refills.   

Our entertaining sommelier Ottara...

... and sous-chef Radek who entertained us for more than three hours with food and wine descriptions for each course, with a varied background of music throughout.

Gaggan's iconic Yoghurt Explosion.

Uh-oh.  Time for the blindfolds and no peaking...

Talk about trust.

Getting ready for Fire.

Our nine wines for the evening.

At the end of the night, applause and hugs all around.

And a brief chat with the man himself before heading off to the airport.   What an amazing experience that we will remember for a long time.   An experience that touches all the senses. Bravo Gaggan!
