"Situato nel quartiere di China Town, questo ristorante si trova in un vecchio edificio ristrutturato appartenente alla famiglia della chef da generazioni, inizialmente sede di una farmacia cinese. L'anatra è sicuramente il piatto iconico del menù, insieme alla rivisitazione del pad thai: due piatti rappresentativi del background della chef e delle sue radici. Nota di merito all'abbinamento non alcolico di kombutcha, sempre interessante e mai banale. Prenotate con tanto anticipo perché i coperti sono pochi e l'hype verso questo locale molto alto. Prezzo >1000baht a testa (27€)"

"1 Michelin star 2025 13th World’s 50 Best Restaurants (57 in 2024) Traditional and novel converge at this Thai-Chinese fine dining restaurant from chef Pichaya “Pam” Soontornyanakij. Set in a historical Sino-Portuguese building that used to be Pam's family’s Chinese pharmacy, Potong blends rustic and modern décor from ground floor bar to rooftop chill space. Her progressive tasting menu is infused with storytelling and hits its peak with aged duck breast. To make it even better, ask the sommelier for a wine pairing."

"Instagram review 30 Sept 2024 📍 Potong - Bankok 🇹🇭 Type: 🇹🇭 (🇨🇳) Michelin: ⭐️ Price: 💶💶💶💶 (250-300€) Rating: ∞/10 🗓️ Visit: December 2023 🔅…🔅 ∞/5 Out of this World -Exclusive festive menu I can’t hide some anxiety in writing this review…It’s strange…I’ve been a guest of hundreds of legendary chefs all oround Asia anymore…but She…She is like the God managing Angels table…all of them are sacred figures…but She…She is simply the supreme divinity above all others! “The best of my life”…maybe the most abused sentence among foodies…but after almost one year from that night…it’s still engraved in my memory as the highest moment of my dining life. Collecting more and more awards day after day…@chefpam and her @Potong are legends that really don’t need any introductions anymore. Culinary experience here goes far beyond the usual “food + service”…your dinner at Potong is a truly voyage across Chef Pam life. A welcome drink at the ground floor…an aperitif on the rooftop…your night will bring you all around this thiny thiny building that used to be Chef Pam family’s ancestral palace. It would be quite banal to rate food quality you can easily guess by yourself (btw…you are wrong…it’s higher!)…. but what I mostly love to remember is Chef Pam unique ability to “tell her story” and “express her style” through the tasting. Her one of a kind progressive Thai/Chinese cuisine truly embodies her 5-Element philosophy of “Salt, Acid, Spice, Texture, and Millard Reaction”. Bite after bite…I was more and more blown away by the perfection of that balance…totally inside the story that dishes were telling…I was living it like a movie! Pam...I know I'm not a notorious food critic or a famous foodie whose compliments you're probably used to anymore…But I hope it makes you happy to know that thanks to your art, you’ve stolen the heart of a fan somewhere in Southern Italy… giving him the most unforgettable dinner of his life. Thanks from the deep of my heart, made a memory for a life time ❣️ PS @unesco …. please, put Pam 14days aged duck 🦆 under protection NOW (I mean…the cooked version) "

"chef Pam, celebra le tradizioni e le ricette della cucina cinese-thailandese in quella che era la farmacia di famiglia, un edificio vecchio centovent’anni oggi moderno ristorante, Potong, che si sviluppa in verticale su cinque piani con un’architettura scenografica."

"La prolifique chef Pichaya "Pam" Utharntham s'inspire de ses origines thaïlandaises et chinoises pour créer une expérience culinaire totalement différente de celle qu'elle propose à The Table, sa salle à manger intime où elle concocte des créations influencées par la cuisine française et les techniques culinaires occidentales. Au Potong, l'ancienne juge de Top Chef Thailand s'inspire de ses origines culturelles. "J'ai grandi dans une famille thaïlandaise et chinoise, et je suis frappée de constater que personne n'a essayé de transposer cette culture dans la gastronomie", explique-t-elle. Tasting Menu : 20 plats 5 500 bath (150 euros)"

"SAS: Potong ligger i ett före detta apotek i Bangkoks Chinatown och mycket av originalinredningen finns kvar. Här lagar Chef Pam – Pichaya Soontornyanakij – mat inspirerad av sin thai-kinesiska bakgrund och av de fem elementen sälta, syra, hetta, textur och maillardreaktion (den kemiska reaktion som sker mellan kolhydrater och aminosyror vid kraftig upphettning och skapar en brun färg samt nya smaker och dofter, exempelvis när bröd rostas eller kött steks). Varje måltid är som en berättelse som förmedlas av serveringspersonalen. Kockarna gör även sina egna fermenteringar och inläggningar, som står på display i rader av burkar precis utanför det pyttelilla köket. Högst upp i det smala huset hittar man cocktailbaren med dj:ar och drinkar. Både Chef Pam och restaurangen har fått flera utmärkelser. Bland annat var hon den yngsta kocken och första kvinnan någonsin att belönas med både en stjärna och titeln ”Årets restaurangöppning” av Michelinguiden."
