Haawm Bangkok

in bangkok, thailand (june’24)

challenging the norms of fine-dining, haawm brings about the ‘hominess’ in asian cooking with everything cooked and presented by the chef dylan himself. you can either choose the four people private table, or you will be seated in the share table of 10, eating along strangers which was definitely daunting for me.

bringing a touch of modernness into traditional recipes and ingredients, making thai food approachable to foreigners and also a new perspective for locals. really loved the starters of the june menu, the sour mango with sweet fish sauce and the duck laab on fried kratom leaf with some pickled sansho on the side. king mackerel was the spiciest dish of the night, very appetising followed by one of my favourites, the pork belly satay.

for mains, really loved the relish of smoked fish and crispy prawn. it really helped sooth the palate from all the spice, and worked so well with the soft boiled eggs. the chicken dish inspired by tom kha kai was also one of my favourites today, also enjoyed the fried pork sausage with clams. the beef in the curry was too smokey for me, and the soft shell crab was nicely fried but was more of a ‘wow’ dish for the first timers who’ve never had it before.

desserts were the only part which was a bit farfetched for my palate but overall an enjoyable meal. foreigner friendly and great for sociable people to meet new dining partners. personally i’d rather stick with the private table if i do come back next time…
