Elements, inspired by Ciel Bleu, at the Okura Prestige Bangkok has not only unveiled its new summer menu, it has also welcomed the arrival of chef Gerard Villaret Horcajo.
The "Summer Guestronomic Journey Set Menu" ("Mizu", an eight-course experience priced at B5,900++, "Chikyu", a six-course experience priced at B4,600++ and "Ku-Ki', a four-course experience priced at B3,800++), is an indulgence in freshness and light flavours with a focus on seasonal ingredients. "The inspiration of this menu comes from the summer ingredients in Europe and Japan, combined with my six months of living in Bangkok. Understanding what the Thais like and what my regular guests enjoy is imperative, so this is why a few of the dishes are the same compared to the last menu, with only the garnish changing for the season. We have also created new dishes for guests who want to have new experiences while recognising the flavours of elements. I have looked back at what we used to do, what we are doing now and combine the two," says chef Gerard.
