Paste Restaurant Bangkok

A Michelin Star Restaurant in Siam

---

Paste Restaurant in the Gaysorn shopping centre is another proof that the Bangkok dining scene never ceases to evolve and improve. Paste Restaurant started in Sukhumvit and has already made a name over there. Since they moved to the Ploenchit neighbourhood, the restaurant got even better, and with the undeniable talent of Chef Bee, Paste received a Michelin Star.

Located on the top floor of this exclusive mall in the heart of Siam, Paste is beautiful but a little intimidating at first. The friendly staff welcome you with a Wai and invites you to sit at a table or in one of the little alcoves near a floor-to-ceiling window facing CentralWorld Shopping Mall. The alcoves are much more attractive, offering a panoramic view of the hectic Bangkok avenue.

Chef Bee prepares with great care a beautiful modern Thai cuisine that respects the original ingredients and adds a delicate touch to each dish. It is truly a culinary discovery. Each dish is beautifully presented, arrives at the table at the right pace, and is well described in just a few words. The service at Paste is fully part of the dining experience. We ordered 5 dishes for 2 persons, wondering if this was enough as modern cuisine often serves small portions. 5 dishes were just right, allowing just enough room for dessert.

What we ordered

• Superbly presented northern Chiang Mai salad of freshwater river prawn with roasted banana chilli, char-grilled tomatoes & pink Mempat flower (400 baht)
• Miang betel leaves of Irish creamy oysters with ginger, roasted coconut, popinac and galangal jam (450 Baht). Betel leaves are often used in Thai dishes and have a unique taste, and you really should try it, a beautiful and unique mix—river prawn salad (800 baht).
• Slow-cooked Australian beef cheek with fresh northern ‘Hang-Lay’ curry paste, pickled garlic, ginger, lemongrass & dry spices (700 baht)

• The big winner was the steamed wild sea bass fillet with white turmeric, fennel & lemongrass ‘lon’ sauce, which was fantastic (700 baht).
• Dessert was Lemongrass and white turmeric Panna Cotta with Chiang Mai strawberry and som saa ice cream, fresh mango, berries and dragon fruit (400 baht), but it was beautifully presented.
