Potong

What’s the hype? Winning a constant stream of awards since opening in 2021, Potong is the fine-dining restaurant in a narrow multi-floor building from chef Pichaya ‘Pam’ Soontornyanakij, which offers a tasting menu of innovative Thai-Chinese cuisine in the heart of Bangkok’s Chinatown. And 2025 sees another award: Potong is the winner of the Highest New Entry Award 2025, making its impressive debut at No.13.

On the menu: The food at Potong focuses on five elements: salt, acid, spice, texture and Maillard reaction (the chemical process of reducing sugars that brings distinctive flavour). The degustation starts with house-made charcuterie and collaboration wine, before moving through courses including Historical Stories – crab roe, blue crab and brioche; Bold – 14-day aged duck; and Heritage – pandan, a peanut bon bon and tamarind. The tasting takes diners through Chef Pam’s culinary memories and emotions.
