The collaboration between Gaggan Anand and his "brother from another mother" Fukuyama "Goh" Takeshi - known as "Gohgan" - is always a fun and special affair. It takes place 2 or 3 times a year, and is an opportunity for the two chefs to create new dishes.

We flew to Bangkok to participate in the 7th edition of Gohgan a week before Christmas, and it was a Christmas party complete with decorations and Christmas music...

A long lunch at the hotel's invitation while Oncle Joël was in town. This is arguably the best outlet in the entire Robuchon universe, backed by the deep pockets of the Grand Lisboa - with one of the best wine lists to match.

The tournedos rossini was simply amazing. As were quite a few other dishes.
