Pere Planagumà, the Catalan culinary master who reached the gastronomic stardom as the head chef of two Michelin-starred Les Cols in Girona, is presenting his scrumptious wonders at St Regis Bangkok until 27 January.
Chef Pere’s cuisine is praised for the simplicity which exemplifies the landscape and seasonality of Catalan region with skilful finesse. His portfolio includes stints at world-renowned dining rooms like La Tour d’Argent in Paris and El Bulli in Gironda. After bringing Michelin stars to Les Clos, he is now steering his own seafront restaurant, ROM, in the town of Rosas.
At St Regis, the master chef is churning out a three-course lunch (B2,500) and an eight-course dinner (B4,900) at Jojo restaurant until 26 Jan. The dishes look to showcase the best of comforting Catalan flavors in modern interpretation as in the likes of goat milk ice-cream with olive oil caviar and anchovy garum; the seafood-studded tuna tartare with sea urchin and caviar and the perfectly-cooked lamb leg served with black truffle and lamb jus. The dinner ends on a high note with the show-stopping truffle-infused chocolate ice-cream with olive oil and hazelnut. Wine-pairing option is also available.
On 27 Jan, chef Pere will be serving his Catalan delights in the popular Sunday Brunch (B2,850) at Viu restaurant.
