Bangkok Menu Design

Have you ever wondered about the creative process of designing a menu? How do chefs go about it? How is it that a selection of dishes are capable of entertaining you and your stomach for anything from 2-5 hours (the latter definitely too long). There’s no catch-all answer to menu development, however, there is one defining attribute that plays a vital role in the formation of every well-conceived menu, and it so happens to be the missing link in the failures too. It’s not choice… it’s balance.
