Bangkok (Thailand) – November 5, 2019 (travelindex.com) – The white truffle, which mysteriously emerges in the deepest darkness of winter, is rarer and more precious than any other root, tuber, or fungus. It offers even the most discerning gourmets a touch of luxury. Since it only grows for two months of the year and its quantity depends on growing conditions, it is all the more mysterious.

White truffles are rarer and more prized than their black counterparts. They grow only in the wild and therefore must be hunted down with the help of specially trained dogs; they are among the most sought-after and expensive foods in the world.

While black truffles can have a slightly artificial aroma, white truffles are like a fine perfume, enveloping the nose with an elegant, earthy bouquet. On the palate, they are rich and creamy – a true delight for those seeking an exceptional culinary experience. Chef Ryuki Kawasaki of the two-Michelin-starred Mezzaluna restaurant uses only the finest seasonal ingredients and has selected the highest quality Italian white truffles for the new, limited-edition "White Truffle Delight Menu," available while supplies last. Offered only until the end of December, it celebrates the unparalleled exquisiteness of truffles; classic ingredient combinations bring them to the forefront, making them a true delight for the world.

“I wanted a simple and elegant menu to highlight the flavors of this rare ingredient. It’s about complementing the white truffle and allowing its natural flavor to shine,” explains Chef Ryuki. “Using delicate ingredients like kegani, kinki, langoustines, and yellow grouse prevents the truffle flavor from being overpowered while providing an excellent backdrop.”

Five-course menu THB 12,500++ Wine pairing THB 8,000++ Available now until the end of December 2019. For further information, please contact us: T: +66 (0)2 624 9999 E: [email protected]
