Bangkok, Thailand, January 23, 2024 / TRAVELINDEX / In an exclusive collaboration between celebrated Mexican chef Francisco “Paco” Ruano, chef Alonso Luna Zarate and Parisian caviar house Kaviari, Ojo at The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon will host an exclusive five-course menu with caviar as the centerpiece on Thursday, February 8, 2024.

Located in the heart of Paris, Kaviari is one of the world's leading caviar houses. This family-run business, whose tradition is rooted in the splendor of wild Iranian caviar, offers only the finest caviar from around the globe. The evening begins with a tasting, where the exquisite ingredient is served pure as caviar bumps or with classic accompaniments. In the subsequent five-course menu, chefs Paco Ruano and Alonso von Ojo use Kaviari's precious pearls to enhance traditional Mexican flavors. Each dish is served with Aqua Panna or San Pellegrino water.

The meal begins with a duo of macadamia tarts with smoked cream, salsa de uña, crystal caviar, and nasturtium, followed by tostada huevona with A4 Wagyu beef tataki, pickled chanterelles, baeri caviar, and chili ponzu. Next, guests are served a refined version of the Mexican street food classic sope, prepared with bluefin tuna, ant eggs, burnt avocado, Oscietra caviar, and epazote herbs. This is followed by the delectable uchepo corn tamal with stracciatella cheese, fresh cream, salsa roja, and Kaviari's buttery Transmontanus caviar, sourced from the white sturgeon. Grilled turbot with Atole Dashi sauce, Oscietra caviar and garlic blossoms rounds off the savory part, while Platanos con Crema with grilled banana, palm sugar, fresh cream and dried and pressed Kaviari en Barre roe provide a sweet finale.

The Ojo X Caviari Dinner takes place on February 8th from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM at Ojo. The five-course menu costs THB 5,500++ per person and includes Aqua Panna or San Pellegrino as a beverage pairing, as well as mother-of-pearl caviar spoons from Ojo. Champagne pairings are available at an additional cost.
