A rich, complex, and synaesthetic take on a quintessential Indian snack 😋 One of the
other outstanding efforts from Gaa's veganised tasting menu. I don't think I've ever had a #chaat which so smoothly drifted between (as promised by the menu) sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and umami. It looks so demure when it arrives, but you're invited to break the layer on top and watch it give way to utter chaos beneath (2nd picture). The only annoying thing is that they guard this recipe with utmost secrecy, and don't tell you what went into it 🥺 We perceived cumin, masala, and the other usual suspects. But there must have been so much more going on 😅
Gaa is a #finedining establishment set in a leafy part of Sukhumvit, with an elegantly minimalist and spacious dining room. Run by Garima Arora, a Michelin star holder while still in her 30s, it offers 13-course carnist and vegetarian tasting menus, the latter of which is veganisable upon request. The food is #indian in style but #thai in its use of ingredients. Dinner will set you back THB4,700 + 17% in taxes and service charge, but it'll be money well spent I promise 🥰
