ALL STORIES

The team at JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, the Destination of Exceptional Taste, is excited to announce the second event in their new culinary initiative, known as the Celebrity Chef Series. This Series is a regular culinary program that showcases the talents of both local and internationally renowned chefs along with the hotel’s award-winning restaurant teams. This month, celebrity Chef Hong Thaimee will join the team from New York for three days of culinary experiences at the award-winning Tong Thai and Prime68.

Originally from Chiang Mai, Thailand, Hong Thaimee, who has served as a global ambassador for Thai cuisine and culture for over a decade, has created two distinct culinary experiences highlighting her signature flavours and cooking styles. Beginning at Tong Thai restaurant, Chef Hong curated a ‘Trip Around Thailand’ with a menu featuring some of her classic flavours such as Esan Bann Hao, referred to as ‘a trip to Esaan’ a northeastern region in the country, which will be represented by a crispy duck salad with toasted rice powder, chilli, mints, lemongrass and lime. Guests can book this five-course menu at Tong Thai on Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th November for just AED 195 per person.

Having recently opened her third restaurant in New York, Chef Hong has become a master at creating Thai comfort food, drawing inspiration from her life and culinary experiences. She has channelled these skills to craft a unique Afternoon Tea experience which will be served at Prime68. With iconic views of the city, this award-winning restaurant’s picturesque setting will elegantly complement the fresh and light Thai-inspired Afternoon Tea menu. Promising to be a truly memorable, leisurely afternoon with friends or family, guests can expect the traditional Afternoon Tea classics such as sweet cakes, scones and savoury sandwiches, except this time, with a Thai twist, such as a Thai tea poached pear and Pandan fondue with fresh fruits and roti. Chef Hong’s Thai Afternoon Tea will be served at Prime68 on Saturday 27th November from just AED 125 per person.

Known as The Destination of Exceptional Taste, the team at JW Marriott Marquis Dubai are excited to welcome Chef Hong to Dubai for the second in the Celebrity Chef Series and are looking forward to offering these unique culinary experiences showcasing her talents and skills.
