Some collaborations feel easy to picture immediately. Talayjai Dining teaming up with Ranee’s for ‘The Italian Chapter’ is one of them. The menu folds Thai seafood into handmade pasta and slower Italian home cooking, with chefs JamyJamess of Talayjai and Roel from Ranee’s building four dishes around local catch and familiar flavours. Talayjai Dining already carries the sort of relaxed Bangna dinner atmosphere that suits shared plates and long conversations, while Ranee’s has spent years becoming one of Bangkok’s more dependable names for comforting Italian food. The whole thing sounds less like a formal collaboration launch and more like a very good dinner party, which honestly fits both restaurants better anyway.
25 May launch event from 5pm onwards. Talayjai Dining, The Glass Market Bangna. Collaboration menu available until 7 June or until sold out
