Hotly announced from the bougie Langsuan area is the news that ANJU Korean Rooftop Bar at Sindhorn Midtown Hotel Bangkok, Vignette Collection has stepped into its next era, with both a new menu and an executive sous chef coming straight from South Korea.
Taking on the chef position at the hotel’s neon-lit spot is Chef YoungDae Shim. While born and raised in South Korea, he has been around the world throughout his professional career, including Singapore, Vietnam, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Now at the helm of ANJU, Chef Shim has injected modern touches and cooking techniques to the restaurant’s menu while still retaining the traditional flavors of Korean culinary culture.
New dishes on ANJU’s refreshed menu includes everything from small morsels to filling big plates. Whet your appetite with the mouthwatering Pickled Salmon & Prawn (B590), Egg Lava with Caviar Trio (B350), or Tong Young Oyster Kimchi Bloody Mary (B290) before moving on to heartier mains such as Busan-Style Fishcake and Beef Tendon Soup (B490) or Miso Snow Fish (B1,190).
The essential Korean fried-chicken Padak (B260) at ANJU will be your next favorite ever thanks to the juicy boneless part coated with the spicy sauce.
You can also go big and bold with Bone in Short Rib (B1,290), Spicy Rice Cake Stew with Seaweed Rolls and Dumplings (B320), or ANJU’s beloved Stone Pot Bibimbap (B240). With the hot rice dish, you can choose to have pork, beef, or octopus—whatever you like!
Don’t forget to wrap up the meal with Jooak & Makgeolli Ice Cream (B190), the bouncy rice donut served with rice wine ice cream.
Apart from brand-new dishes, Chef Shim has also come up with lip-smacking concoctions to complement the dining experience. You have Yak-gwa (B370), the first signature that blends Hwayo53 with sous vide boricha-soju, ginger syrup, and chocolate bitters. A Korean traditional cookie is paired with the drink for more fun crispy bites. There’s also the whiskey-based Beon De Ki (B390) that hits you with the refreshing blast of yuzu juice and White Korean (B350) that’s inspired by White Russian. Be on the lookout for the kimchi cocktails and mocktails, which will surely fire up our senses for the night!
As a bonus for big fans of K-Pop, ANJU is not beyond playing tunes by your favorite boy groups and girl bands—it’s definitely the place to be for a fun night out with the gang.
