Tastes from the deep
The Elements Japanese restaurant at The Okura Prestige Bangkok welcomes the Thai summer with delectable Hokkaido Taraba king crab.
Native to the cold waters of the Sea of Japan, the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean, king crabs grow to an impressive size and are bursting with flavourful meat.
Throughout April, executive chef Antony Scholtmeyer offers an intriguing Egg Tofu dish of Taraba crab, fresh herbs and dashi jelly. Equally fascinating and bursting with flavour is a creamy Vichyssoise of smoked Taraba crab, ikura and oyster leaves while a Gratin of Taraba crab, edamame and soba is also sure to please.
Other savory delights include an Omelette of Taraba crab meat with white asparagus, chives, and champignons served with a piquant crustacean sauce that has been reduced to a mouthwatering consistency.
Also on offer are steamed Taraba crab and thinly sliced sole paupiette with yuba, charred negi, sorrel and yuzu. The five-course menu is priced at Bt3,200 per person and a la carte dishes range from Bt590 to Bt1,290.
