Westin St Francisのボールルームで開かれたパーティーに参加。
このパーティーでは、料理や飲み物の出し方が凝っていた。
サンフランシスコで活躍しているシェフやバーテンダーが何人も集まり、自ら料理やカクテルをビュッフェのように提供するというものだった。
ミシュラン サンフランシスコ版にも掲載されているタイ料理レストラン Kin Khaoのシェフ、Narsiso Salvadorさんの料理が素晴らしかった。
以下、ミシュランの評価。
サンフランシスコでスパイシーなタイ料理を食べるならココという内容。
Tucked into an alcove of the unprepossessing Parc 55 hotel, this restaurant won’t win any awards in the décor department-it’s spare and casual, with tables set with chopstick canisters and bowls of chili oil.
But when it comes to delivering authentically layered, fiery Thai flavor with a produce-driven northern California flair, it has no equal.
Kin Khao reconcepts dishes from across Thailand to take advantage of the market’s bounty, from a rich and creamy hor mok curry mousse starring locally sourced wild mushrooms to an unexpected take on nam tok, with meaty scarlet runner beans dressed in a tantalizing mixture of lime juice, chilies, caramelized shallots, rice powder, and herbs. More traditional options include classic Chiang Mai-style khao soi, a flavorful curry-soup with chicken, egg noodles and pickled mustard greens, and a Thai-Chinese mashup of flat rice noodles stir-fried with locally made tofu and XO sauce.
Needless to say, those avoiding spicy food or craving plain old pad Thai should look elsewhere. But if you’re a straight-outta-Bangkok diehard, grab a cocktail, get a friendly server to guide you to the latest and greatest, and strap in for a wild-and delicious-ride.

絶品だったのはホロホロと柔らかく調理された豚バラに甘辛酸っぱいドレッシングをかけ、エディブルフラワー、オニオン、ガーリック、パクチー、砕いたナッツをもった一品。何皿も食べてしまった。
