Bangkok Foodies Review – Blue Elephant

Had the honour of sitting with Chef Nooror for lunch for their New Year’s Eve Gala dinner promotional launch. What a great personality; full of zest and irrepressible energy and excitement for anything Thai food. Don’t get me started on her funky silver pants! She revealed to us, that her favourite place to eat “street food” is the Or Tor Kor Market Fresh Market (behind Jatuchak) which I haven’t been to in at least 5 years but it will be the first place I hit next time I’m in the area. I mean who could argue with the master?

Out of the 5 course dishes, the Tom Yum in Coconut with crab meat, bird’s nest, stuffed portobello mushroom and Royal Project herbs was sensational. Very different to the conventional type which is packed with punchy herbs and tickles the throat. This soup is so refined yet the flavours approach in waves and takes you deeper and deeper into its ocean. Everyone’s was “mmhh and ahh-ing” and eyes were rolling back into heads. It was that good.

The Rosemary Duck with Strawberry Foie Gras was another favourite; rich and herby duck combined with a sharp and zesty Strawberry jus, topped with more decadent fatty goodness of pan-fried foie gras. A festive indulgent dish indeed.

Everything on the menu is based on Ancient or Royal Cuisine with some of Chef’s unique contemporary twists. Chef Nooror uses only Royal Project vegetables and herbs for this dinner; a project which she is actively supporting, which personally touches her heart.
