To Bia,This was my second visit, thanks to a fortunate connection.My last visit was about two and a half years ago, and I was amazed to see how the course offerings have significantly improved since then.This time, I ordered the course with wine pairing, and here are some highlights of the dishes that stood out.Overall, it was a remarkable course that beautifully fused traditional Thai flavors with top-notch Japanese ingredients, delivering a series of delightful surprises.**Aori Ika and White Asparagus** The rich sweetness of the tender Aori Ika harmonized exquisitely with the refreshing white asparagus, making for a sophisticated start.**Obbounse (Shark Fin)** Luxurious shark fin enveloped in a broth packed with umami. The deep richness and pleasant texture were irresistible. Even when generously drizzled with the black vinegar provided on the table, the acidity was just right, enhancing the smooth flavor.**Larb (Omi Beef)** This dish featured the exquisite flavor of Omi beef fat, intertwined with the refreshing aroma of Thai herbs and stimulating spices—a truly supreme dish. It was a classic that left a lasting impression during my previous visit as well.**Part Two** The most noticeable change from my last visit was the presentation of several dishes arranged in a balanced manner, reflecting the traditional Thai style of sharing among multiple diners.**Samrap Ahan Thai & Crab Curry** Enjoying the grilled chicken (Gai Yang) and stir-fried water spinach (Pad Pak Boon Fai Din) with freshly cooked jasmine rice was incredibly delicious. The added crab curry was simply outstanding, with the luxurious umami of the crab and the complex flavors of spices creating an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.**Fresh Pineapple Ice Cream** We concluded with a beautifully refreshing dessert that had a gentle sweetness.The pairing wines served throughout the meal were perfectly calculated for each dish, enhancing the deliciousness of the food exponentially.Bia, along with the hospitality of the staff and the atmosphere they create, truly exemplifies exceptional hospitality.I will definitely return.It was a great meal.
