Potong Bangkok

Highlights from our night at @restaurant.potong

“In a time when restaurants, especially those in the World’s 50 Best Circuit, focus more on creating a story and promoting a concept, discovering a restaurant with genuine history and identity feels like a breath of fresh air.

Here, we feel the “Truth” in the space, discourse, and walls. Potong is an extension of Pam, rooted in that narrow street in Chinatown, with a unique gastronomic concept that couldn’t exist anywhere else. There’s no room for trends or expansion into modern buildings, which we find beautiful in today’s World.” - full article on the blog

“Numa época em que os restaurantes, principalmente os inseridos no circuito World’s 50 Best, se focam mais na criação de um Storytelling e na venda de um conceito, entrar num restaurante em que a história e a identidade não nos soam a farsa é como uma lufada de ar fresco.

Aqui, sentimos a “Verdade” no espaço, no discurso e nas paredes. O Potong é uma extensão de Pam, enraizado naquela rua estreita de Chinatown, com um conceito gastronómico único, que não poderia existir noutro lugar. Não há espaço para modismos ou expansão para edifícios modernos, e nos dias de hoje isso é bonito de ver e sentir.” - artigo completo no blog

Another highlight of our trip to Thailand was @restaurant.potong ,located in Bangkok’s China town in a stunning 5 story ancient building. For 4 generations, spanning over 100 years, @chef.pam ‘s family lived here while producing Chinese medicine products under the name “保坤益母藥” (bǎo kūn yì mǔ yào). This 5-story-tall building has a tale of its own; from one age to another. Recently awarded a well deserved Michelin star this progressive Thai-Chinese restaurant will also be featuring on my best of Bangkok & Phuket tour in December. Highly recommended.

A brilliant meal at @restaurant.potong by @chef.pam in Bangkok! The progressive Thai-Chinese cuisine was well-executed and one of the highlights was definitely the palm tree series where 5 little bites each represented a different part from palm juice to palm seed, palm meat, palm apple and palm sugar. Desserts wise, the chrysanthemum with cacao nibs was easily the favorite!
