The much-anticipated 'Celebrity Chef Series' at The Mews, held from October 10 to 12, proved to be an unforgettable culinary experience that redefined Thai fine dining.
This exclusive event brought together two of Thailand's most renowned chefs, Michelin-starred Chef Ton from Le Du and his protégé Chef Nuch, the head chef at The Mews.
Their combined expertise and passion resulted in a 12-course masterpiece that celebrated the essence of Thai cuisine, with each dish meticulously crafted to honor tradition while embracing modern techniques.
The evening began with a dish that set the tone for the entire experience — Tom Yum River Prawn.
Chef Ton's signature creation, this reimagined classic delivered the bold, complex flavors that Thai cuisine is known for, but with a finesse that elevated it to new heights.
The fiery tang of lemongrass and lime, coupled with the rich umami of perfectly grilled river prawn, struck a delicate balance between heat and citrus.
It was a dish that teased the palate, promising even greater delights to come.
As the courses progressed, each plate offered its own distinct narrative, blending seasonal ingredients with the chefs' unique flair.

The combination of tender Wagyu beef and the bold, aromatic spices was a testament to the chefs' ability to elevate humble ingredients into a work of art.
Beyond the food, the dining experience was further enhanced by a thoughtful wine and champagne pairing.
The selection of Veuve Clicquot champagne and Hennessy cognac complemented each course beautifully, adding an extra layer of indulgence to the evening.
As each glass was poured, it became clear that the drink pairings had been chosen with the same care and attention as the food itself.
The collaboration between Chef Ton and Chef Nuch was nothing short of extraordinary.
Their chemistry in the kitchen translated into a seamless dining experience that left guests in awe.
In a city known for its world-class dining experiences, the 'Celebrity Chef Series' stood out as a testament to the power of collaboration and the possibilities that arise when tradition meets innovation.
