Head Chef Arne Riehn and IGNIV Bangkok team warmly invite guests to explore a newly launched Winter Menu, presenting the joy of family and friend gatherings in the comforting and festive spirit. Served in a sharing feast format, this menu uncovers earthy European winter flavors accentuated by the contrast of refreshing local Thai ingredients which Chef Arne enjoyably handpicked. Experience a harmonious blend of rich and light flavors, available from December 2, 2024, to March 2, 2025.
Inspired by Europe’s winter season, the flavor profile includes the earthiness of root vegetables such as truffle, celeriac, leeks, and beetroot, complemented by the smoky richness of proteins such as smoked sturgeon—a traditional preservation method from colder climates. Locally sourced ingredients also enhance the season’s creations with refreshing, tangy and acidic taste of Nan olives, Chiang Mai strawberries and calamansi, as well as the crispness from local lotus stems and watercress.
“This Winter Menu captures the essence of festive gatherings through ingredients that not only cater to the palate but also to the soul. In addition to the taste of European Winter, I have also incorporated distinctive local ingredients, including lotus stems, Thai olives and watercress to add an intriguing element which perfectly reflects the festive spirit and surprise,” said Head Chef Arne Riehn.
The journey includes 18 handcrafted dishes in a shared dining experience, beginning with snacks like Foie Gras—Hazelnut—Cherry and Lotus Stem—Lemon—Mint. The experience continues with starters such as Kohlrabi—Watercress—Pea and Smoked Sturgeon—Capers—Thai Olive, followed by mains like Wagyu—Celeriac—Truffle and Arctic Char—Carrot—Calamansi. The cozy meal concludes with delightful desserts, including Chocolate—Cascara—Raspberry Vinegar, made with Chef Arne’s most favorite chocolate from Chanthaburi and cascara from northern of Thailand, as well as the creamy Soufflé.
The finale is signaled by an introduction to the IGNIV Candy Store; an invitation to revisit one’s childhood with a visual extravaganza of canelés, madeleines, financiers, caramels, toffees, chocolate dipped nuts, panforte and nougat to be brought home as a delicious memory of their visit.
