Cookin' Nanta has spiced up life in Bangkok with a number of shows in the past four years displaying exciting and fun cooking styles.
A free performance of Cookin’ Nanta will be staged at The Mall Bangkapi tomorrow at 2pm.
So here's the good news: there's another chance to see it tomorrow, and this time it's free.
This South Korean performance will be the highlight of "The Mall Korea Delight 2013" festival, which runs at the Event Hall of The Mall Bangkapi until June 17.
Premiering in 1997, Cookin' Nanta is one of the most popular shows in Seoul and was a big hit on Broadway. It debuted in Bangkok in 2009 and has returned several times since.
It has a simple story of three cooks attempting to finish a wedding banquet within a strict time limit while the manager installs his incompetent nephew among the kitchen staff. The show involves acrobatics, magic tricks, comedy, pantomime and audience participation.
The unifying element throughout the show is the use of traditional Korean samul nori music which, in this case, is performed with improvised instruments such as cutting boards, water canisters and kitchen knives. The performance is almost completely non-verbal. The few words which are spoken are in English. Cookin' Nanta will be staged at 2pm, after which the audience can look for their favourite Korean dishes such as bibimbab (mixed rice), topokki (rice cake), seasoned seaweed, gangnam chicken, Korean noodles and original banana milk.
Products such as ginseng and cosmetics from such popular brands as Etude House, Dr Jart+, The Face Shop, Karmart and Snail White will also be available at special prices.
