Bangkok sees plenty of guest chef dinners these days, though few arrive with the kind of momentum Masque currently carries. Widely considered one of India’s most exciting restaurants right now, the Mumbai dining room heads to Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok for a five-day residency led by chef Varun Totlani, whose cooking pushes Indian flavours somewhere more contemporary without losing the roots underneath. The eight-course menu works through Thai ingredients, squid, clams, Thai wagyu and masala spices across the progression . There is also a one-night collaboration on 9 June with chef Weerawut ‘Num’ Triyasenawat, which already feels like the dinner people will start messaging each other about before seats disappear.
4-9 June. B4,950++ per person. Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok. Lunch 12pm-3pm (6-7 June), dinner 6pm-11pm (4-8 June)
