This year for World Cocktail Month, MGallery Collection went beyond the traditional cocktail experience, inviting guests to experience the bar as a destination. In collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Pichaya “Pam” Soontornyanakij, the boutique hotel collection launched an immersive pairing concept that transforms an evening drink into a curated gastronomic ritual.
While the limited-time cocktail pairings conclude in mid-August, Chef Pam’s signature bites will continue to be served year-round at participating hotels across Asia:
- Hotel Naru Seoul Ambassador – MGallery Collection
- V Villas Maldives at Mirihi – MGallery Collection
- Avista Hideaway Patong Resort & Spa Phuket – MGallery Collection
- Hotel Sosei Sapporo – MGallery Collection
- Ming Hotel Nanjing – MGallery Collection
- The Silveri Hotel Hong Kong – MGallery Collection
Chef Pam, founder of Bangkok’s Michelin-starred Potong, stands among the most influential voices in contemporary gastronomy. Named The World’s Best Female Chef 2025 and Asia’s Best Female Chef 2024, she is celebrated for a culinary philosophy rooted in contrast, balance and storytelling.
Created for the rhythm of the bar, effortless to share and instinctively paired with a sip, the bites are bold yet balanced, familiar yet unexpected. Each unfolds in layers, playing with temperature, texture and contrast rather than a single note. A curated cocktail collection is served alongside Chef Pam’s five globally inspired bites, creating a fully immersive gastronomic encounter:
- Caviar-Crowned Tartare is served with the Prohibition Martini
- Tender Temptation Wings is paired with The Botanist’s Waltz
- Sun-Kissed Crab with the Midnight Fizz Society
- Truffle Shuffle Polenta alongside the Cult of Verde
- Squid’s Midnight Dip with the Archive of Tomorrow
Alongside the five signature bites, Chef Pam has developed a series of interpretations inspired by local ingredients and cultural influences.
In Thailand and the Maldives, additional bites include Shrimp Garden Toast and Air & Fire Corn. In Mainland China and Hong Kong, guests can enjoy Fiery Mantou Bun and Soy-Dipped Purple Fries. In Japan and South Korea, offerings include Tofu & Apple Eclipse and Sea Breeze Tartare. The classics of the Sunset Botanica and Tropic Mirage are paired with these local bites.
Following the successful launch of the collaboration in May, MGallery invites guests to continue discovering Chef Pam’s signature bites year-round, even after the limited-edition cocktail pairings conclude in mid-August.
