I think it is awesome to be able to see chefs put in an extra effort in ensuring that ingredients for cooking are fresh and are sourced sustainably.
Chef Bo and Chef Dylan shared about their restaurant and their commitment to sustainability in the video below from Asia's 50 Best Restaurants.
Chef Bo Songvisava of BOLAN.and her husband are into offering slow cooked dishes that use organic and sustainable ingredients. Apart from their restaurant becoming one of Asia's Best Restaurants, Chef Bo also got awarded as Asia's Best Femaile Chef from the prestigious San Pelliegrino Asia's Best awards.
Her restaurant is named after the combined names of her and Dylan, her husband chef, whom I met a couple of years ago when I dined at their restaurant.
Chef Bo was featured in an episode of NETFLIX's Chef's Table. She shared her story on how she still prefers to cook Thai dishes using traditional ingredients and not the processed mixes that some people would you use to cut down on preparation time.
Chef Bo and Dylan are very hands on with their restaurant. I remember that during the time I had dinner at their restaurant one of the staff even told me that the kids that were walking around are the kids of the owners.
My dining experience in Bolan in Bangkok was pretty good. Their service is good and I remember that I was even invited to go to the kitchen and meet Chef Dylan who let me taste a pineapple starter dish. The ingredients they use are fresh and flavourful and the curry dish was very good.
