SPOTLIGHT<br />

A Tempest of<br />

Tastes<br />

In the old days in <strong>Thai</strong>land,<br />

“Am-dang” meant Mrs. or Miss<br />

whereas “Typhoon” referred<br />

to the manner of stir-frying<br />

crabs found in typhoon shelters<br />

off Hong Kong Island. This<br />

unusual combination reflects<br />

the idea of preserving authentic<br />

<strong>Thai</strong> recipes which requires<br />

meticulous details in every step,<br />

many of which may soon be<br />

forgotten. The restaurant, Amdang<br />

Typhoon has a dedicated<br />

owner and chef Yai Buncharas<br />

who strives to maintain local<br />

<strong>Thai</strong> recipes with authenticity<br />

and fresh ingredients of the<br />

highest quality. The result is<br />

a mesmerising array of <strong>Thai</strong><br />

and Chinese dishes – from<br />

Stir-Fried Pork Crackling with<br />

Green Curry Paste to Hong Kong<br />

Typhoon Shelter Spicy Crab<br />

which includes the hot, peppery<br />

flavour and aromatic fragrance<br />

from stir-frying garlic with<br />

fresh crabs. Sukhumvit 32,<br />

LIGHTS OUT IN DINING<br />

The name, Wang Hinghoi, says it all, as this sensory experience<br />

of a restaurant is named after the firefly, ‘hing hoi’ in <strong>Thai</strong>. The<br />

dining concept at Wang Hinghoi bridges the city, the woods,<br />

and people as more than 1,000 sq. metres of land has been<br />

transformed into a lush area in the city. It’s a different kind<br />

of dining in the dark, encased in a large glasshouse whose<br />

steel framework lends an urban and contemporary<br />

touch as fireflies flit about. Inside, the model<br />

ecosystem houses the creatures who<br />

engage in their show of light to entertain<br />

as diners go about their meal in a<br />

separate space. During the 18 months<br />

that Wang Hinghoi remains open,<br />

experience seekers will dine on food<br />

that is relied on by all five senses. On<br />

offer are different culinary journeys<br />

crafted under the concept, “The Four<br />

Elements of Life.” Earth, water, wind, and<br />

fire are interpreted into diverse menus which<br />

promise a true awakening of the senses. As the<br />

dining experience at Wang Hinghoi is truly<br />

one-of-a-kind, advanced booking is the only<br />

option. wanghinghoi.com, +66 (0) 91 979 6226<br />
