Inspired by the famous Michelin two-star restaurant Ciel Bleu (translated as blue sky or blue heaven) at the Hotel Okura Amsterdam helmed by Executive Chef Onno Kokmeijer, the talented chefs at Bangkok's own Michelin-starred Elements restaurant have worked closely with their Dutch colleagues to introduce a Japanese seasonal ingredients menu that celebrates the summer with a sensational culinary tour of Japan on a plate.
The seasonal dishes feature Japanese delicacies from the land and sea and include sweet-flavoured meaty Taraba king crab, plump Hokkaido scallops, delicious botan ebi shrimps and highly prized succulent Satsuma beef.
Eye-catching offerings on the menu include a Taraba crab open sandwich with konbu wafer, avocado and pickled vegetables, a nage, or savoury broth of Hokkaido scallops and botan ebi sautéed with small vegetables, shimeji and mitsuba, hirame flounder with freshly grated yuzu, celeriac, red sorrel, and toasted matcha jus and succulent Satsuma beef garlic cromesquis served with daikon filled with bone marrow and olive licorice.
The Japanese Seasonal Ingredients menu is available for a limited time at Elements for dinner every Tuesday – Saturday from 3 July - 31 August 2018
Prices start from 690 THB++. Prices are subject to 10% service charge and 7% government tax. Please contact the restaurant for bookings and more details.
Here's what our inspectors said about Elements @ The Okura Prestige Bangkok
With impressive city views from its terrace, this restaurant on the 25th floor of the hotel is an ideal spot for a date. Inside, the décor is chic and it's all centred around an open kitchen with oversized industrial light fittings and walls made with charcoal - one of the 'elements'. The modern cuisine creatively fuses the best of French and Japanese dishes, and there is a set menu that offers a varied selection.
