My Signature Dish: Noom Chantrawan’s Tom Yum Plachon Bo-Larn
"One-Michelin-starred Chim By Siam Wisdom is set in a traditional Thai house built around an ancient tree. At its helm is chef Thaninthorn “Noom” Chantrawan, most recognised in the city for his stint on Iron Chef Thailand. Trained in European and modern molecular cuisines, Chantrawan spent 14 years working in some of London’s hottest restaurants, including Zuma, Roka, Patterson’s, Momo and Sketch before returning to Thailand where he was spotted by the TV producers of Iron Chef Thailand. The chef's signature dish is the Tom Yum Plachon Bo-Larn, a 200-year-old recipe for a tom yum soup variation that had not been cooked in over a century. Served in a traditional clay tagine, the soup hits all the flavors characteristic of Thai cuisine, differing from its modern-day counterpart with its ingredients and complexity. The Tom Yum Plachon Bo-Larn is served as a soup course, uncovered table-side and then portioned out for guests." - Rachel Tan
