The 10-Moment Tasting Menu

 

As we embarked on our culinary adventure, we were presented with a 10-moment tasting menu that promised to surprise, delight, and encourage exploration. Each dish was a work of art, a testament to the relentless pursuit of perfection that defines Hom.

 

Roses Cured Pomelo

Our journey began with a refreshing, fermented passion fruit drink followed by a rose-cured ruby pomelo. The Blanc de Noir Champagne, Rupture Marie Copinet from France, NV, danced with the delicate pomelo, creating a delightful opening act.

 

Coconut, Caviar, Salted Macadamia 

Young coconut marinated in fish garum, preserved palm seeds, and smoked Hua Hin caviar are served with a salted macadamia sauce. Featuring The Chablis from Domaine Saint Antoine in France, 2021, elegantly complemented the harmonious blend of flavors.

 

Milk Skin

The reduced milk dish, inspired by the local Portuguese dish called “Rissol,” featured local black crab seasoned with pickled coriander seeds and a paste of Chamuang leaf—a silky, melt-in-your-mouth experience that left us craving for more.

Squid, Tea Leaves

An unexpected combination that showcased the chef’s creativity, with the smokiness of tea leaves accentuating the tender squid.

Prawn, Kumquat Kosho

 Baby squid cooked in yeast butter served with fermented hmaing and squid broth—a burst of freshness and zing, where prawn met the citrusy notes of kumquat kosho. The Natural Grüner Veltliner from Hajszan Neumann in Vienna, Austria, 2021, provided the perfect accompaniment.

Black Grouper

Dry-aged snapper with a sauce of lacto-fermented green mango, pandan, and pumpkin seed miso—a perfectly cooked black grouper that captured the essence of the sea. Paired beautifully with the Cotes du Rhone from Domaine Roche Audran in France, 2020.

Quail Egg

A delightful interlude, where the richness of quail egg was paired with an unexpected twist.

Duck & Greens

Local duck cured in aspergillus sojae, dry-aged for 9 days, and cold-smoked with sugar cane, grilled to perfection while being brushed with sourdough mirin—a masterpiece of flavors where duck and greens came together in perfect harmony.

Star Fruit

Together with red ants, this dish served as a palate cleanser that refreshed our senses, preparing us for the grand finale.

Pink Guava

A sweet conclusion to our journey, where the tropical flavors of pink guava danced on our taste buds. The Moscato d’asti from Marchesi Di Barolo Zagara in Italy, 2021, provided a delightful ending to our culinary odyssey.
