Grilled Sticky Rice with Charcoal-Grilled Pork Served with Spicy Tomato Dip and Pounded Mackerel Relish
The journey begins with Khao Jee, the beloved grilled sticky rice traditionally associated with Northeastern Thailand’s Bun Pha Wet and Bun Khao Chi festivals.
Served alongside charcoal-grilled pork, a roasted tomato relish enriched with fermented fish, and a smoked mackerel dip from Mae Klong, the course pays tribute to pla ra—Thailand’s centuries-old preservation technique and one of the country’s most significant culinary traditions.
