A Taste of Childhood: Top Thai Chefs Reimagine Family Favourites

Ekkaluck Conemporary Thai and International Cuisine at Madi Paidi Bangkok presents a heartfelt four-hands collaboration as Chefs Tor and X revisit their grandmothers’ cherished recipes through refined Thai cuisine.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – EKKALUCK at Madi Paidi Bangkok, Autograph Collection, unveils a nostalgic culinary collaboration that celebrates the comfort, care, and creativity passed down through generations. From 25 April to 25 June 2025, the exclusive “Taste of Childhood Memories” four-hands dining experience will bring together two of Marriott International’s most celebrated chefs—Teerathep “Tor” Tishabhiromya, Executive Chef of Madi Paidi Bangkok, and Attapol “X” Thangthong, Executive Chef of Bangkok Marriott Hotel The Surawongse.

This limited-time collaboration pays tribute to their grandmothers, whose home kitchens shaped their culinary journeys. Each dish revisits a treasured family recipe, delicately reimagined with modern finesse while preserving the emotion and flavour of their youth.

At EKKALUCK, from 25 April to 25 May, guests can enjoy the à la carte menu for lunch and dinner (11:00 AM – 10:30 PM). The experience begins with Chef Tor’s vibrant appetiser, Moo Sub Thord Sa-mun Prai—herb-marinated deep-fried minced pork with chilli mayo and sriracha gel—based on a clever childhood dish his grandmother used to entice him to eat vegetables. Meanwhile, Chef X presents Gaeng Liang Fuk Thong Poo Kub Khao Tung Rae Bai Ka Prao, an elevated crab and pumpkin soup with rice crackers and holy basil that brought him gold at the Culinary World Cup.

Main courses include Chef Tor’s Hor Mok Pla Chon—steamed river fish in red curry with Indian mulberry leaves—and a sophisticated take on Khao Pad Nam Prik Ka-pi Pla Too, a beloved rice and mackerel dish. Chef X’s tribute continues with two interpretations of his grandmother’s rich Massaman curry: See Krong Massaman Wine Daeng (beef short rib) and Nong Kae Massaman Wine Daeng (lamb shank), each simmered in a port wine reduction with over 20 ingredients.

The meal concludes with Chef X’s Khao Niew Ma-muang (mango sticky rice), a sweet finale rooted in his childhood memories of Ban Pong, where Ok Rong mangoes signal the arrival of summer.

From 26 May to 25 June, the celebration moves to Praya Kitchen at Bangkok Marriott Hotel The Surawongse, where the chefs’ creations will be featured in the daily dinner buffet from 6:00 – 10:00 PM, priced at THB 1,988++ per person. The buffet will include a rotating selection of signature dishes, with a highlighted feature each month.

Prices for à la carte dishes at EKKALUCK start from THB 353++.
