La Scala restaurant at The Sukhothai Bangkok, a stylish, contemporary haven of classical Italian cuisine, welcome David Tamburini from Tuscany, twice awarded Michelin stars, as their new Italian Chef.
Following his recent position as Executive Chef at Giando Italian Restaurant, Hong Kong, David’s passion for food, its preparation and cooking, combined with his continuing strong interest in Asia led him to Thailand.
Back in Sicily, David studied the different ingredients and food preparation techniques of southern Italy and expressed his desire to give to them a more contemporary flavour, whilst meticulously developing his own personal style of cooking.
Creative flair, a combination of traditional Italian recipes and his own renowned creations will form the basis of David’s menu at La Scala. “It is indeed a great honour to be part of The Sukhothai family at such an iconic restaurant as La Scala, and I want to satisfy our diners with truly contemporary Italian flavours,” he says.
Bringing with him the different components and traditions of southern Italy, David is introducing a unique selection of special dishes that include appetizers, pasta, main dishes and dessert. The new menu has been carefully created and offers an exceptional choice of “not to be missed” dishes, prepared and cooked with premium grade, optimum quality ingredients. Each dish follows Chef’s secret recipes, exclusively applied with special techniques that ensure enticing presentation and irresistible, delectable taste
