Bangkok (Thailand) – January 12, 2016 (travelindex) – The JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok welcomes 2017 with a special focus on BBQ dishes. Executive Chef Kevin B. Thomson and his talented team of culinary experts are reinterpreting traditional BBQ specialties: simply cooked on the bone, generously portioned, and with plenty of meat. The grill will be fired up daily at the Bangkok Baking Company from January to February 2017.

Barbecue dishes are among the most appealing comfort foods, perfect for licking your fingers, gnawing on the bone, and savoring the ribs. High-quality, imported, smoky meat, drenched in our chefs' secret sauces, melts in your mouth. The succulent ribs will be smoked daily for the next two months, and we'll be offering a variety of menu options in January and February. Be sure to try our Thai curry and coconut marinated ribs or our cumin and coriander rubbed baby back ribs. Our chefs have created a unique sauce for Jack Daniels baby back ribs that is simply irresistible. For a more traditional experience, try the ribs with maple syrup, pineapple, and five-spice powder or black pepper, and fall in love with the smoky meat and succulent marinades. All dishes are TH499++ and are served with Asian fusion coleslaw and sweet and sour BBQ corn.
