At basil, Chef Kesinee Wanta creates the finest award-winning and authentic Thai cuisine in a sophisticated setting.
Throughout September and October, the master of Thai culinary arts turns her focus to turmeric or khamin and invites you to savor the flavors of outstanding traditional and contemporary dishes.
Prized for its anti-oxidant properties, turmeric is a rhizome and a member of the ginger family. For her exciting menu, Chef Kesinee uses fresh and powdered turmeric to add earthy and citrusy notes and a vibrant yellow color.
New and enticing dishes on her menu include the traditional goong gula phad phrik khing, stir-fried tiger prawns with turmeric chili paste, and the inventive nuea jorakhae khamin khao prik Thai dam, stir-fried crocodile with young turmeric and black pepper sauce. There’s also flavorful sen mee gaeng poo, red turmeric curry with crab meat served with rice vermicelli, and succulent nuea seekrong yang khamin, grilled turmeric marinated rib eye. Diners can also discover dishes from the south of Thailand including geang som pla hima, a deliciously spicy regional curry made using premium quality snow fish, and pla krapong daeng tord khamin, deep fried red snapper with red turmeric and Thai herbs. Chef Kesinee’s carefully balanced menu of distinctive cuisine ends with kanom koh khamin sod, turmeric rice dumplings stuffed with sweet shredded coconut.
