New year s revelation
4
Do yourself a Thai flavours favour and book your New Year’s Eve dinner at Front Room, the Waldorf Astoria’s vibrant, high-ceilinged, lower lobby level Thai restaurant.
Named for the cosy sociable rooms in typical houses, Front Room only reopened in early November, starting out again with a fresh concept that celebrates the eight distinctive flavours of Thai cuisine (sour, sweet, nutty, salty, spicy, bitter, astringent, mild and mouth-watering mixes in between) presented ‘ros mue mae’ (cooked by mum) style.
And thanks to rarefied input by Dr. Niphatchanok Najpinij (Ajarn Ning) who learned from her mother, legendary Thai culinary wiz Asst. Prof. Kobkaew Najpinij, together with equally celebrated Chef Supanant (Ann) Khanarak, it’s got off to an impressive start.
