The 13th and final course, just when you think you can't physically eat any more, but good enough that you force yourself to anyway. The #pistachio #laddoo was superb, the other one (which I don't remember too well by now) less so. Then a creamy liquid to round off the night. I cannot emphasise enough what a beautiful experience this is 😋 Gaa is a #finedining establishment set in a leafy part of Sukhumvit, with an elegantly minimalist and spacious dining room. Run by Garima Arora, a Michelin star holder while still in her 30s, it offers 13-course carnist and vegetarian tasting menus, the latter of which is veganisable upon request.

Chef's Surprise

Oh yes, what a fun #dessert experience, and what a royal treat for the #sweettooth 😃 I loved the #paniyaram that acted as a vessel for spooning up the various goodies laid out on little dishes like a fun children's game. Though full disclosure, by right you get six of these. As my partner was having the vegetarian menu, the three dairy ones came with vegan alternatives for me, and the three accidentally vegan ones were placed in the centre. I remember having been particularly taken by the #banana #barley #caramel (top right corner) and by the gunpowder thing (bottom right). By the time this 12th course was served, we were the penultimate table left dining 😬 We rushed this a bit more than we would've wanted to.

The Appe Spread

The one true disappointment of the evening, but hey at least there were two more dessert courses after this! 😅 Not sure who thought #blackrice made a good #icecream flavour, or who would pair this with #lychee. The #toddy was far less boozy than the wine we were having, and the frozen fruits were done and dusted in one and a half bites 😐 Gaa is a #finedining establishment set in a leafy part of Sukhumvit, with an elegantly minimalist and spacious dining room.

This is a serving for two so it does look more substantial, but yes this is the final course before desserts, and designed to fill you up. You can get seconds (or thirds) on the #roti in the background, but what you're paying for is the grilled stuff in the foreground. Two versions are on show: the #durian for those who enjoy it; the #aubergine for those who don't 😅 Either is seasoned and spiced and prepared differently to suit its own properties, and accompanied with a beautifully eclectic range of pickles. A creamy way to end the serious part of the meal 😋 Gaa is a #finedining establishment set in a leafy part of Sukhumvit, with an elegantly minimalist and spacious dining room.

The Tandoori Story

The #chayote headlined this #kebab dish, and with the #garammasala as well as the char there was a mix of salty, earthy, smoky, and spicy 😋 But you know what was outstanding, what brought this into five star territory? The #tofucream. I have no words for it, simply sensational 😋 Before you know it, 9 of the 13 tasting dishes have been served.

Looks nothing out of the ordinary right? Just a tiny scoop of #rice? (Yeah, tiny, think three spoonfuls tiny 😭) Think again. Whatever this #surinrice is, it's good shit. The highest grade of fragrant Thai rice 😉 Then, the pickled #mustard and the #tamarind added different but so complementary flavours to this, I only wish I had more mouthfuls of it to savour 🥺 By the way, this was my favourite piece of ceramic for the evening 🤩 Gaa is a #finedining establishment set in a leafy part of Sukhumvit, with an elegantly minimalist and spacious dining room.

Rice & Cola

This was one of the less memorable parts of the vegan tasting menu. A second palate cleanser almost, if you like. Less flavourful than the first one, in fact 😬 The shaved ice took all the tartness out of the #apple, and the #coconut and #cucumber didn't quite carry enough punch. Maybe I'd been conditioned by how heavy the previous dishes were to expect something richer!

Summer Curry

Dish number 6 of 13 on their tasting menu. And now the wine is starting to take effect 😛 I haven't mentioned this yet, but the sommelier Ana is super knowledgeable and friendly and recommends the most amazing wine pairings. For the second part of the menu, where the earlier cheeriness gives way to an aggressively spicy and fiery palate, she recommended a white by Bread and Butter (from California) that tasted like no other white wine I'd ever had up to that point. It reminded me of malt. Of beer. With Indian main courses, yes, suddenly everything made sense 😄 That's what I remember when I see this #pumpkin dish; how well the wine dovetailed with it 😅 P.S. the second picture is there to show you just how mini this portion is! Those nodules underneath are chickpeas, not gnocchi or potatoes or anything three times the size. The pumpkin was artificially arc-ed! 😏 Gaa is a #finedining establishment set in a leafy part of Sukhumvit, with an elegantly minimalist and spacious dining room.

Pumpkin

I don't remember how exactly this tasted, I was more taken by their edible flower 😅 The little shells are reminiscent of hard tacos, but small enough to be consumed in one single bite. This isn't something that I'll go away telling everyone about and highlighting from their tasting menu, but eaten in isolation it would've been absolutely outstanding 😋 Gaa is a #finedining establishment set in a leafy part of Sukhumvit, with an elegantly minimalist and spacious dining room.

DIY Bhel

This is the 4th of 13 courses, but all the foregoing dishes are so light that you get the feeling things haven't really started yet 😅 This again is a small tasting portion; what you see above serves two, each person only gets one ear of the #babycorn! It's marinated in salt and lime for a nice flavour balance, and then given a generous charring on the outside. For vegans, they replace the dairy butter with this super interesting "corn butter". I wish I could buy that stuff by the pound! 😃 Gaa is a #finedining establishment set in a leafy part of Sukhumvit, with an elegantly minimalist and spacious dining room.

I'm not sure you can call this a #palatecleanser, there was so much depth to the flavour! 😋 You pull the mint leaves aside, slurp up the good stuff at the bottom, and look ahead to the remaining 10 courses to come 😁 The plating stole the show though, just look at that!

A rich, complex, and synaesthetic take on a quintessential Indian snack 😋 One of the other outstanding efforts from Gaa's veganised tasting menu. I don't think I've ever had a #chaat which so smoothly drifted between (as promised by the menu) sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and umami. It looks so demure when it arrives, but you're invited to break the layer on top and watch it give way to utter chaos beneath (2nd picture). The only annoying thing is that they guard this recipe with utmost secrecy, and don't tell you what went into it 🥺 We perceived cumin, masala, and the other usual suspects. But there must have been so much more going on 😅 Gaa is a #finedining establishment set in a leafy part of Sukhumvit, with an elegantly minimalist and spacious dining room.
