JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa unveils Southeast Asia's first fully circular beachfront experiential tasting menu, Sown & Reborn, a six-course dining experience like no other.

Offered at the resort’s newly redesigned Drift Beach Bar & Grill, one of Khao Lak's top culinary destinations, this event highlights the beauty of upcycled ingredients, sustainably sourced local seafood, and organic farm produce from the resort's very own JW Garden.

Curated by Cluster Director of Culinary, Silvano Amolini and Chef de Cuisine Khun Eak, the Sown & Reborn experience begins with an optional pre-dinner guided tour of the resort’s 27-acre garden, where one of the resort’s chefs will explain the sustainable produce used in their meal.

Guests will be welcomed by variety of canapés, guided by a resort chef for a tasting session featuring delightful circular and farm-fresh appetizers. Additionally, they can enjoy yoga and wellness sessions, birdwatching tours, and other garden activities.

There will be an introduction by Executive Chef Silvano, where he will dive into how he repurposes food leftovers, such as potato skins, discarded coconuts, and watermelon husks. 

The first course of the six-course tasting menu is the JW Garden Duck Egg crispy poached duck egg paired with repurposed potato espuma and fresh morning glory, followed by the savory Umami Power and Prawns, a vegetable-powered broth similar to tom yum soup.

Guests will be treated to flavors that are as surprising as they are delicious. The third course shows off JW Garden’s seasonal bounty in JW Garden Chicken Egg with smoked eggshells tagliatelle and vegan Bolognese, featuring smoked egg shell tagliatelle made from recycled bread crusts. 

The fourth course marries the snapper and grouper, sourced from a natural farm in Rawai, South Phuket, which handles the fish with chemical-free practices and an all-insect diet.

And perfectly complementing your meal, a selection of thoughtfully crafted signature cocktails, made using sustainable or upcycled ingredients, are available to complete your experience.

Beyond The Sown & Reborn initiative, sustainability touches every aspect of the resort’s operations.
