NONTHABURI, Nov 3 (TNA) – The Department of Intellectual Property, MICHELIN Guide Thailand and the Tourism Authority of Thailand are promoting gastro-tourism by having MICHELIN Star chefs create fusion foods featuring premium ingredients with geographical indications (GI) from the Northeast.

 

In the project, Chef Chalee Kader from 100 Mahaseth, a northeastern eatery obtaining Bib Gourmand certification from MICHELIN Guide Thailand, and Chef David Hartwig from 3-Michelin-starred IGNIV Bangkok restaurant gathered four ingredients from three northeastern provinces to create the fusion foods that showed off Thai and international tastes.

 

The ingredients were Hom Mali rice grown in volcanic soil in Buri Ram province, shallot and garlic from Si Sa Ket province and Pon Yang Kham beef of Sakon Nakhon province.

gastro, fusion, ...

There was a time when people just liked good food.

made up need for tourists. Who is going to fall for rice and garlic from a specific location.

If they go for fame do ganja theme menu. Punters coming not for food itself but for novelty, new experience

I suppose the NE could arrange a handful of bugs on a nice plate and brand it as the next protein rice diet again.

Hope it's not like the UK...put the word gastro at the top of the menu tart up the food with a bit of garnish and a complicated description of a simple dish...AND DOUBLE THE PRICE.

Rather eat the food the locals eat from roadside stalls personally ..but then my Thai ex gf always said I look like a poor chicken farmer!!
