Bangkok, Thailand, February 6, 2024 / TRAVELINDEX / Burapa Eastern Thai Cuisine & Bar, the avant-garde and opulent Orient Express style restaurant located at Soi Sukhumvit 11 No. 26, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, will redefine the culinary landscape with the introduction of its extraordinary new WanderEast menu, launched on Valentine's Day (February 14, 2024) and every Wednesday thereafter as "Wander Wednesdays".

The WanderEast tasting menu, a continuation of the first WanderEast introductory series, elevates the culinary experience to a new level, embodying greater refinement, sophistication, and a deeper exploration of Thailand's diverse ingredients and flavors. Culinary Director and co-founder Ack Wongwich Sripinyo has extended his already boundless imagination to the most remote corners of the country, creating a menu that not only satisfies but also ignites the imagination of travelers through taste – with a particular focus on the vibrant flavors of Eastern Thailand.

Begin with the enticing appetizer: two layers of fermented melon, infused with the rich aroma of sun-dried catfish. Or savor the succulent prawns marinated in sweet fish sauce, accompanied by fresh mango and a hint of spicy prawn sauce. Let yourself be seduced by the tender flavor of braised pork belly, wrapped in chamung leaf croquettes.

The culinary journey continues with a dish that perfectly harmonizes grilled scallops and a tangy cauliflower sauce. An absolute highlight for guests and Instagram is the Eastern European consommé soup, in which the beef dumplings are infused with finely sliced ​​bitter orange zest, giving them a deep, aromatic flavor.

The appetizers offer a symphony of flavors, from the hearty crab rice to the soothing, milky rice porridge with Thai wild almonds, to the star, the braised pork belly, refined with oriental herbs and spices.

A sparkling grape granita serves as a refreshing palate cleanser and prepares the way for the main course – a tempting mix of spicy squid rice, chamung leaf, Trat's chili curry sauce, Wagyu beef fillet and sweet grilled tomatoes.

This culinary journey can be rounded off with a dessert masterpiece – three variations of tomato pandan rice pudding, served with Woffia ice cream with sea salt.

The WanderEast tasting menu promises a culinary journey that transcends boundaries and reveals the diverse flavors of Thailand's eastern region.

Burapa Eastern Thai Cuisine continues to serve its signature à la carte menu daily, except on Mondays, when the restaurant is closed, and Wednesdays, when a special tasting menu is offered. A small selection of the new WanderEast dishes will also be available, so guests can still enjoy a delicious meal!
