Koh Samui, Thailand, July 2026: For two evenings this July, Sa-Nga at Centara Reserve Samui welcomes Chef Waii of Rasik Local Kitchen for a collaboration shaped by a shared instinct: Thai food should still taste unmistakably Thai.
Across 25 and 26 July 2026, the two kitchens will present a specially developed dinner menu exploring the flavours people grow up with - curries, relishes, grilled dishes, preserved ingredients, recipes tied closely to season and region - approached with greater precision, structure, and depth rather than reinvention for its own sake.
Rasik Local Kitchen has become known for cooking that feels contemporary without disconnecting from memory. Familiar dishes are reworked through sourcing, balance, and technique, while the original character of the food remains fully intact. Spice is not softened. Richness is not diluted. Instead, flavours are allowed to deepen and become more expressive.
That approach sits naturally alongside Sa-Nga's own direction at Centara Reserve Samui - a restaurant increasingly recognised for presenting Thai cuisine with restraint, clarity, and confidence in the ingredients themselves.
More than a guest-chef collaboration, this experience invites guests to explore the dialogue between two like-minded restaurants, each guided by a contemporary interpretation of Thai cuisine where flavour, pacing, ambience, and sourcing are carefully balanced to create a meaningful and memorable dining experience.
The setting reflects the same thinking. At Sa-Nga, the experience remains relaxed and conversational, allowing the food and interaction around the table to lead the evening rather than formality or performance.
An exclusive collaborative dining experience taking place on 25–26 July 2026, 18:00 to 22:30 hrs. at Sa-Nga, Centara Reserve Samui.
