Foodies may have heard about the collaboration between Van Chalermpon and Black Panupong, two chefs who are also best friends. Their new project is called Namo and is tucked behind an unmarked door on Sukhumvit Soi 49. Behind this door is a tiny deep black room where diners will be served multinational cuisine with a heavy Japanese influence.
Namo, which means “to bow humbly” only offers a 12-course dinner (B3,600) made with mostly local ingredients. The place will be open for only three months until November. Book your seat via LINE @namo.bkk
Namo will also be Chef Van’s last stint in Bangkok before he closes Dag in Charoenkrung and relocates his kitchen to Chiang Mai. That makes another good reason to fly north.
