Chef Sayan Isaksson, the head chef of the one Michelin-starred Esperanto restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden, is delivering the elaborate new Scandinavian fare with collaboration from local Thai produce at Jojo Restaurant, The St. Regis Bangkok, only for a week.
Hence his very-Thai name, Thai-born chef Sayan Isaksson has been brought up in Sweden since he was two years old. Borrowing influences from Japanese and French cooking techniques, chef Sayan is able to widen the scope of neo-Nordic cuisine that puts emphasis on food-preserving approaches like fermentation and smoking, to create a new spectrum of flavors.
Until 10 November, chef Sayan is to deliver nine-course menu (B3,900) that features Thai local ingredients accomplished with New Scandinavian techniques. Smoky flavor adds the complexity to dishes like smoked cured Hamachi served with pickled horseradish and light seafood broth, while Asian influence blends in the likes of pigeon cooked with black garlic, black currants and “Nordic five spices”.
