Red
brings a new
style of
Indian
cooking to
Bangkok.
Indian
restaurants
have become
a fixture on
the
international
dining scene
in recent
years and
are found in
every major
city in the
world,
including
Bangkok.
Although
initially
exciting and
different to
foreign
palates, the
restaurants
have become
almost
McDonald’s
like in
their
uniformity.
But this is
changing.
Interestingly,
the changes
have not
come from
outside
India, but
from within.
The first
breach in
the citadel
of
conservatism
came when it
became clear
that fresh
vegetables
were good
for you and
that the
ghee
floating on
the top of
many Indian
dishes was
an
invitation
for heart
disease. The
result was a
lighter,
fresher
style of
cooking.
Then as
Indians, and
Indian chefs
in
particular,
began to
travel about
the world,
they became
acquainted
with a
variety of
new
ingredients
and often
incorporated
them into
their own
preparations
when they
returned
home. Items
like salmon,
pasta and
risotto,
once rare in
India,
suddenly
started
appearing in
trendy,
upmarket
restaurants
in Delhi and
Mumbai.
Now, Red has
now brought
these
changes and
the
accompanying
excitement
to Bangkok.
Located in a
converted
residence in
the trendy
Thonglor
section of
town, the
restaurant
is open for
both lunch
and dinner
seven days a
week.
Facilities
include
rooms for
private
parties and
gatherings.
If you are
looking for
fine dining
with an
Indian
twist, think
Red. |
