The gustatory side of Pink

Now in its third year, the Eat Drink Pink event on November 20 presents the finest Thai and global gastronomy and drinks to support the world-leading Pink Park Village and the Queen Sirikit Centre for breast cancer.

Co-organised by the Peninsula Bangkok and Turkish Airlines, the event brings together more than 30 celebrated dining institutions such as Err, Lenzi Tuscan Kitchen, Il Fumo, Bunker, Sensi, Quince, Water Library, La Casa Nostre, Little Beast, Vesper, Baan and Blue Elephant as well as Asia’s Best Restaurants for 2017, namely, Le Du, Eat Me, Nahm and Suhring, to raise funds for the Queen Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer Foundation in Chulalongkorn Hospital.
Guests will enjoy signature dishes, drinks and snacks prepared by Bangkok’s top chefs, culinary experts and bartenders along the riverfront. Each restaurant will present its creative menu for guests of the event to taste. This year, Il Fumo will present “Agitagueda” Lake Markemeer Eel, Foie Gras and Limoncello. Il Fumo’s Chef Nelson Amorim was inspired by the colourful umbrella instalment for the Agitagueda Art Festival in the city of Agueda, which is his hometown in Portugal.
