Lumi & Cha La 4-hands dinner at AMANOR Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai, Thailand, July 3, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / The AMANOR Hotel Chiang Mai and Unicorn Hospitality proudly present Lumi and Cha La: 4-Hands Dinner Series – a groundbreaking culinary collaboration bringing together two talented chefs to enrich the city's gastronomic scene in July with two exceptional evenings of culinary artistry. This exclusive dining experience will take place over two evenings:

Chef Prince from Restaurant Lumi (AMANOR Hotel Chiang Mai) and Chef Tawan from Restaurant Cha La (Hotel MYS Khao Yai) have joined forces to present an exclusive four-course menu, combining their unique culinary styles in nine special courses. This extraordinary collaboration celebrates Thailand's vibrant flavors and ingredients, interpreted through each chef's individual gastronomic philosophy.

With a strategic vision aimed at future Michelin recognition, this series is a step towards the milestone in Unicorn Hospitality's vision of positioning both Lumi and Cha La as leading culinary destinations.

A meeting of culinary minds

The Chiang Mai edition of the exclusive 4-Hands Dinner series takes place at the AMANOR Hotel Chiang Mai, home to the renowned gourmet restaurant Lumi. Chef Prince oversees the culinary creations. His philosophy – Italian craftsmanship meets local tradition – seamlessly blends refined European techniques with the authentic essence of Northern Thai cuisine.

In Khao Yai, Chef Tawan runs the Cha La restaurant at the MYS Hotel, where regional ingredients and seasonal creativity define his culinary philosophy. Celebrated for its modern country charm and innovative dishes, the Cha La has become a rising star in Thailand's gastronomic scene.

Chefs Prince and Tawan represent a new generation of Thai chefs who honor tradition as the basis for creative development, and their undeniable synergy forms the creative backbone of each evening's menu.

Masterfully orchestrated flavors

The multi-course wine menu showcases the diverse contributions of both chefs, beginning with a jointly created amuse-bouche, followed by carefully prepared appetizers, palate cleansers, main courses, and a dessert finale. Each dish is paired with exquisite wines and liqueurs, meticulously selected to accentuate its individual flavors.

Among the standout creations of the four-handed dinner are Chef Prince's "Oyster Symphony", an elegant blend of Andaman oyster, Doi Dam caviar, lychee glaze and pomelo zest – perfectly matched to Spanish Cava – and Chef Tawan's "Chilled Khao Yai Green Grape Gazpacho", a refreshing and hearty interpretation of local grapes, complemented by Iberico ham, pickled cucumber and green pea mousse.

Other menu highlights include “Foie Gras Mango Blossom” (Chef Prince), which combines Rougié foie gras with Nam Dok Mai mango and ginger-lime crumble, and “Charcoal-Grilled Chocolate-Fed Wagyu Picanha” (Chef Tawan), served with Cecina ham, kale and whisky-smoked Bordelaise sauce.
