Khum Hom Presents Khao Chae, An Iconic Thai Summer Dish
Khum Hom Restaurant at Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok presents its 2026 edition of Khao Chae, the quintessential Thai summer delicacy that has graced family tables for generations. Available daily at lunchtime from 15 March through 30 April 2026. This finely crafted seasonal offering embodies the grace and reverence of Thailand's most cherished tradition.
In Thai culture, Khao Chae represents an art of culinary. The dish's delicate preparation, requiring hours of meticulous work, has long made it a cooling dish to enjoy during the peak of summer. Chef Ian Kittichai's interpretation honours this tradition, presenting the classic summer dish as both a cooling respite from the heat whilst celebrating authentic Thai gastronomy at its finest.
The experience centres on chilled jasmine rice bathed in subtly aromatic water, accompanied by ten meticulously hand-crafted accompaniments. Deep-fried caramelised shrimp paste (Look Kapi), green peppers filled with minced pork and shrimp (Prik Yuak Yud Sai), sweetened shredder sun-dried ray fish (Pla Yee-Son Wan), and fried salted egg yolk (Khai Deng Kem Tort) complete the savoury elements, each element thoughtfully prepared in-house by the team of Khum Hom according to time-honoured methods that reveal the dish's royal provenance.
The ritual concludes with seasonal fruits and kaffir lime suspended in a scented light syrup, a final note of refreshment that speaks to the dish's purpose as both nourishment and ceremony.
For friend and families seeking to honour tradition, Khum Hom offers wonderful takeaway sets in traditional Thai baskets, a genuine gift that carries the warmth of personal care and makes it simple for loved ones to share in the communal spirit of Songkran together.
