Flamboyance galore |
On a recent trip to Bangkok, I dined at Mezzaluna at
the Lebua Hotel. The daily tasting menu that features modern innovative cuisine
from world renowned twin master chefs Mathias and Thomas Suhring is to die for.
The twin chefs came together at Mezzaluna combining the best of their Michelin
star experience to create a unique dining experience, where they have never
stopped innovating and delighting diners with their culinary creations. If
that’s not enough, as part of the refined dining experience on board all
Lufthansa First and Business class flights, the twin chefs have been selected
to craft a discerning menu up in the sky.

“We are united in our passion for food, and we both
bring something different to the table. We bounce ideas off each other during
the afternoons and we experiment together before formally introducing a new
dish to the gastronomic menu”, Say Thomas and Mathias in Unison.
Foodie that I am had to know, how on earth do they
dish out each dish perfectly, on time in such a busy restaurant? It must be
taking hours to do the misc.-en-place I asked. Thomas & Mathias took me to
the back of the house and guess what they showed me?? A KitchenAid stand
mixer!! ‘That’s our best friend in the kitchen’, shared the twins and ‘our work
time really gets reduced at the press of a button…literally!!’…they further
added.

At this restaurant, flamboyance is not just limited to
display, the chefs have worked magic with ingredients sourced from around
the world to create a lavish menu and they attribute their success also to
good ingredients and equipment. After Vue-De-Monde and now this I am kind of
getting convinced that the KitchenAid stand mixer is probably quite helpful for
a chef to better his product and save oodles of time!
