At the MICHELIN-starred Yu Ting Yuan, tucked inside the luxe Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River, a bold new chapter is starting for Cantonese cuisine. 

Executive Chinese Chef Tommy Cheung is turning the page with a bold, boundary-pushing culinary revamp that redefines what Cantonese cuisine can be.

“This is not a seasonal refresh, but it’s a complete evolution,” said Chef Tommy. “We’ve introduced new ingredients, refined our techniques, and crafted menus that reflect where Cantonese cuisine is today, and where it’s going.”

Drawing on his roots in Hong Kong’s dynamic kitchens and a family legacy steeped in culinary tradition, Chef Tommy’s new menus showcase modern finesse while remaining deeply respectful of Cantonese heritage.

Chef Tommy’s new Tasting Menu is a love letter to premium ingredients and elegant technique: think Double-Boiled Fish Maw Soup infused with rare Kunlun snow chrysanthemum, morel mushroom, and American ginseng, and barbecued Hokkaido pork nestled in silky handmade noodles. 

The Yu Ting Yuan Menu Experience, meanwhile, is a greatest-hits collection of the restaurant’s most iconic dishes, with highlights like the Signature Barbecue Platter to Steamed Crab Claw Topped with Kristal Caviar.

For those who prefer to go à la carte, the new menu is just as ambitious. Comfort food classics are elevated without losing soul: there’s Steamed Abalone on Garlic-Glossed Glass Noodles, Deep-Fried Eggplant with Garlic so crisp it practically shatters, and Deeply Savory Chicken in Clay Pot with Scallions.

With soaring floor-to-ceiling windows framing serene reflective ponds and lush gardens, Yu Ting Yuan immerses guests in a harmonious blend of dark wood and gold accents that elevate the art of Cantonese cuisine into a truly refined experience.

This visual symphony extends to the open kitchen, which turns cooking into theater, where diners witness the dramatic crisping of Peking duck and the precise, graceful folding of dumplings. 

The new menus are now available at Four Seasons Bangkok for lunch or dinner.

Under the expert guidance of Chef Sanket Hoskote and the visionary restaurateur Sid Sehgal, Jharokha by Indus creates an inviting yet sophisticated ambiance that pays homage to the grandeur of Rajasthan’s elite polo clubs.

Nestled within the luxurious Erawan Bangkok, the restaurant highlights the ancient tradition of Indian fire pit cooking using a state-of-the-art kopa oven, along with an in-house bar that boasts stunning views of the Ploenchit skywalk.

With seating for 36 guests, with an additional 6 seats in a private room, and a few spots at the bar. This setting is ideal for experiencing authentic modern Indian cuisine and provides a unique culinary journey that reimagines royal Indian flavors for contemporary palates, all framed by opulent art decor.

Chef Story

Chef Sanket Hoskote brings a wealth of expertise to the kitchen at Jharokha by Indus, having honed his skills at renowned establishments like Carnival by Tresind and Alchemy. His innovative approach seamlessly marries the elements of fire and smoke with modern Indian flavors, delivering a unique dining experience. 

Chef Sanket’s passion for cooking was ignited in his grandmother's kitchen, where he first discovered the magic of culinary creation. He refined his culinary techniques at the Institute of Hotel Management (IHM) in Chennai and gained valuable experience at the acclaimed Carnival by Tresind in Dubai. In Bangalore, he led Alchemy, which was recognized as the Best Modern Indian Restaurant. 

As the Executive Chef at Jharokha by Indus, Chef Sanket applies modern techniques to traditional Indian flavors, creating innovative dishes that honor his roots while boldly redefining culinary boundaries. He focuses on fire-pit cooking and slow-cooking methods, utilizing kopa for controlled smoldering and high-quality grilling.

What’s the Vibe and Venue Like

As you enter Jharokha, you are immediately enveloped in the sophistication of polished mahogany panels and the luxurious allure of supple leather. Every detail echoes the elegance of a bygone era, beckoning you to experience a world of refinement. 

Drawing inspiration from the prestigious Rajasthan polo club, the design seamlessly blends classic opulence with contemporary flair. Each corner is thoughtfully adorned with elements that celebrate the regal sport, while rich tapestries contribute to an ambiance of unmatched elegance. The space is beautifully embellished with vintage polo mallets and equestrian accents, deepening its connection to the rich traditions of regal feasting.

Whether you are seeking an intimate dinner or celebrating a special event, Jharokha by Indus provides an ideal setting with exceptional service.

How Much Does It Cost

Jharokha by Indus offers a delightful dining experience, perfect for both solo meals and sharing with friends and family. The restaurant maintains a wallet-friendly approach with an excellent quality-to-price ratio.

Prices for individual dishes start at THB290, while sharing platters range from THB650 up to THB1,250. For two diners, the total cost can be approximately THB2,500 to THB3,500.

What is the Menu About

The menu features tandoori specialties, slow-cooked curries, and signature dishes prepared in the Kopa charcoal oven. Their fire-pit-inspired cuisine pays homage to India’s royal cooking heritage while embracing innovation. This modern interpretation ensures that each dish is infused with deep, smoky flavors while maintaining the precision of contemporary culinary techniques.

The restaurant is committed to sourcing organic ingredients and prioritizing sustainability, while selectively importing spices from India to ensure an authentic taste.

The menu includes a diverse array of offerings such as a variety of chutneys, both non-vegetarian and vegetarian appetizers, fire-pit dishes, sharing platters, aromatic curries, and an assortment of rice and breads. The cocktail bar offers an extensive wine list, a selection of cocktails, and a special Gin and Tonic menu featuring innovative drinks infused with Indian spices.

What Did We Order

We ordered a selection of dishes based on the chef’s recommendation, all of which impressed us with their gastronomic approach and refined plating, complemented by a refreshing twist.

We started off with their new Chutneys set (THB500), which includes a collection of green chili chutney, baingan chokha, roasted beets, aamshoto, and roasted tomato. Beautifully plated and visually appealing, the chutney plate also features miniature naan and fried lotus root on the side. The naan was a delightful addition, allowing us to dip it into each chutney and enjoy the various flavors. The tangy-sweet aamshoto and the mildly buttery baingan chokha were particularly favorites, offering a unique taste that really stood out.

One of the standout dishes is Dahi Ke Kebab (THB390) — an unusual and snowy twist on vegetarian North Indian kebabs. These kebabs are deep-fried, with a crispy exterior wrapped in kataifi, a pastry-like dough, and filled with spiced yogurt and a parsley cream topped with yogurt snow. Witnessing the staff serve the dish, as they drizzle the frozen yogurt snow over the kebabs, is a visual delight. When you take a bite, the satisfying crunch of the kataifi gives way to the icy, mildly sweet yogurt filling, creating an exquisite melting sensation in your mouth. The yogurt snow adds a sweet touch that perfectly balances the mildly spiced filling, and a dollop of mango chutney elevates the experience — truly a chef's kiss. This must-order dish serves as a perfect appetizer.

Kofta Saag (THB490) pairs beautifully with Chilli Cheese Naan (THB180), creating a delightful blend of mild spice and robust flavor. Think crispy fried vegetable dumplings crafted from fresh paneer and vibrant veggies, all enveloped in luscious spinach gravy and wrapped in gooey, cheesy naan. Each bite is a comforting embrace, making this dish a warm and satisfying choice for a main course.

If you’re a seafood lover, the Jhinga Jaisamandi (THB950) features tiger prawns marinated in green chili paste and roasted over charcoal in the Kopa fire pit. The dish is slightly spicy and tender, making it easy to chew.

Shergill Sling: A cocktail named after modern polo star Simian Shergill. This remarkable fusion of premium gin, luscious pomegranate, zesty lemon, and aromatic basil creates a vibrant concoction that perfectly embodies the dynamic spirit of contemporary Indian polo. 

Shamshare Negroni: A bold reinvention of the classic Negroni, this cocktail features Indian gin and coffee-infused Campari, inspired by Shamsher Ali's boldness on the field. The fancy bubble on top makes it a perfect moment to pull out your smartphone and capture the bartender adding the finishing touch.

What We Liked

The Dahi Ke Kabab is an absolute culinary delight that will enchant your taste buds — you’re guaranteed to fall in love at first bite. This version of dahi ke kabab is a rare find, setting it apart from anything you’ve tasted elsewhere. The cheese naan is irresistibly delicious, offering a soft and warm texture with an indulgent cheesy blend that will leave you craving more.

For drinks, the Shergill Sling is a smooth, refreshing cocktail that pairs perfectly with all the dishes.

What We Didn’t Like

While the miniature naan is a unique addition to the chutney set, it could be softer and chewier. It's better to choose the 3-chutney set instead of the 5-chutney set, as the latter tends to overwhelm the palate with competing flavors. 

What You Should Order

There's no doubt that the Dahi Ke Kabab (THB390) is a must-order dish. Additionally, the Kheema Pav (THB390) is highly recommended by the chef and is another tempting option at Jharokha. It features soft butter pav paired with richly spiced minced lamb, elegantly topped with confit yolk and a splash of burnt lemon.

For sharing, consider the Laal Maas (THB1,250), which consists of Australian lamb shank cooked in Mathania chili paste. This rich, mouth-watering curry is sure to satisfy your cravings. Alternatively, you can try the Charcoal Fish (THB1,150), which is a whole sea bass rubbed with masala, roasted over charcoal, and served with asparagus, burnt lime, pickled pears, and roasted tomato chutney.

When it comes to desserts, the Kesar Falooda is the ideal choice to satisfy your sweet tooth. This delightful dish features rose kulfi with saffron rabdi foam and vermicelli, making it not only refreshing but also the perfect way to cleanse your palate and indulge in a heavenly blend of sweet and nutty flavors.

LUZ Bangkok, the crown jewel of Thailand’s first INNSiDE by Meliá hotel, has introduced a “Viva la Fiesta” experience complete with guest DJs, live percussionists, a giant paellera, and extensive views of Bangkok’s skyline by night. 

“Viva la Fiesta,” meaning “long live the party” in Spanish, is staged every Wednesday from 7 PM until late at the authentic Spanish tapas bar on INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit’s 33rd and 34th floors. 

Spanish Chef de Cuisine, Madrid-born Juan Ignacio Garcia Racionero, who has honed his craft in some of Spain’s top kitchens, has curated a menu celebrating the famed gastronomy of Spain. 

His dishes range from the Pulpo a Feira, comprised of octopus with potatoes and spicy paprika, and Chanquetes Fritos, made with fried fish, fried eggs, and roasted peppers, to Croquetas de Ternera y Tartar de Tuna, featuring oxtail croquettes paired with fresh tuna tartare. Other highlights include the Plato de Jamón, an Iberian ham served with tomato-rubbed bread, and a Tortilla de Patata (Spanish omelette) with truffle and Idiazabal cheese. 

Chef Racionero’s giant pan of paella features rotating flavors such as seafood, pork, chicken, and vegetables, including mushrooms and Padrón peppers. 

These tapas are accompanied by quintessential cocktails such as the Agua de Valencia, concocted with freshly squeezed orange juice, cava, vodka, and gin, and the Spanish favorite Sangria.

Apart from the live percussionists, guest DJs spin Spanish-modern house and tribal beats weekly. An optional dress code of red, black, or gold is part of the event’s playful Spanish night theme, with the best-dressed guest in red and black to be given a complimentary signature drink. 

LUZ has quickly gained a reputation as “the place to be” since its debut in September 2023. Offering authentic Spanish tapas, wines, beer on tap, cocktails, signature sangrias, spirits, mocktails, and more, LUZ is a spectacle unlike any other in Bangkok. 

By night, the hotel’s 34th floor, featuring a pool bar, transparent infinity pool, and rooftop terrace dotted with outdoor lounges, sunbeds, and a compelling contemporary interpretation of Bangkok’s Brahman structure, The Giant Swing, all become an upper-floor extension of the LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar on the 33rd floor. 

The tapas bar designs, including its striking angled lines and cabling, pay tribute to the Rama VIII Bridge, another iconic Bangkok landmark.
