Bangkok Cuisine | 80/20 is Coming to Shanghai!

My unforgettable experience at 80/20 in Bangkok still lingers in my memory—the flavors were absolutely stunning! Unfortunately, I never had the chance to share it. Recently, I learned that Shanghai's 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA has invited 80/20 for a "Four Hands" collaboration! The fusion of Thai tangy and Italian cuisine is already setting my expectations sky-high. I've immediately reserved a spot for May 17th to indulge in this culinary delight! 🌿 Bangkok's 80/20: A Decade of Michelin Excellence This restaurant, which has earned a Michelin star for six consecutive years, is not only listed among "Asia's 50 Best Restaurants" and "Asia's 50 Best Bars" but is also considered a "hidden gem" by food connoisseurs. Nestled discreetly amidst lush greenery, it may not be widely discussed online, yet its exceptional quality has won the hearts of countless gourmets. • Unique Philosophy: Staying true to its name, "80% local ingredients + 20% selected ingredients," every dish reflects a deep respect for local flavors. • Sophisticated Ambiance: Featuring a modern industrial-chic design, the walls are adorned with Michelin accolades from over the years. The table settings, including elegant dinnerware and fresh floral arrangements, showcase meticulous attention to detail. 🍽️ Flavor Explosion: Creative Transformations of Traditional Thai Cuisine • Beef Tartare with Thai Crispy Lotus Flower Cookies Breaking away from the traditional heavy flavors, this beef tartare is refreshingly light! Paired with "Dok Jok," a Thai fried pastry typically seen during housewarming ceremonies, the salty, crispy lotus flower cookies perfectly balance the tender beef without being greasy. • Snack Pairings Dried shrimp wrapped in caramel, layered with ginger leaves and fresh ginger, topped with caviar; another snack features grilled rice balls stuffed with tender pork cheek. Each bite unveils unexpected layers of flavor! Over the past decade, 80/20 has quietly become a gold standard in Bangkok's culinary scene. Free from the noise of social media hype, it often attracts seasoned foodies and industry experts. This cross-border collaboration in Shanghai promises to spark exciting culinary fireworks—I can't wait to experience it firsthand!
