Piti Bhirombhakdi and chef Chumpol Jangprai are proud to present Rhaan’s Iron Star Chef 2Go à la carte menu, ready to be delivered still steaming at your doorsteps. Just as we are getting the hang of the languorous self-isolation routine during hot Thai summer, it’s time to try out this special takeaway menu by the award-winning Thai restaurant. Preserving the charm of Thai culinary savoir-faire, R-Haarn is boosting a symphony of eight Thai tastes in their 2Go menu: sour, sweet, creamy, salty, bitter, spicy, zesty and astringent.
Khao chae
The meal arrives in biodegradable boxes, each labelled with the sequence to be eaten. The meal starts with khao chae—the royal delicacy to cool you off while awakening the senses. With all the condiments meticulously made, including the sweetened deep-fried shallot and shrimp paste balls, the actual highlight is the rice. The fragrance, the waxy appearance and the glutenous texture are all characteristics of the very best jasmine rice.
As the meal progresses, the flavours intensify. Sweet-tooths will swoon over the rice noodle served with chili paste and sugary coconut cream with fish-ball reductions. Both sauces are orchestras of tastes and aromas. Continuing with a curious duo of som-tam and rice cooked with coconut cream, you will be left invigorated and hungry for more. The papaya salad, spicy, sweet and bitter from the aromatic lime peel, with the buttery rice is yet another pleasant whirl-wind of sensations.
