"Laotian chef Seng Luangrath (Thip Khao, Padaek) reboots the 5-year-old Shaw space that formerly housed cocktail and small plates bar Hanumanh. Newly named Baan Mae, billed as a “progressive Southeast Asian cousin” to its other restaurants, opened in June with giant head-on prawns with Lao chili paste, fish cake sliders with tofu mayo and pea shoots, and a list of mains like Southern-style curry with short ribs, potato, and Jasmine rice. A trio of opening cocktails includes the Next Question (calamansi-pickled plum, tequila, and orange blossom)." - Tierney Plumb
