From the bustling markets of Thailand to the rustic kitchens of Italy, Chef Sasha Phoomcharoen brings a world of culinary experience to your table. Starting her gastronomical journey in her mother’s kitchen, Chef Sasha’s love for food led her from her homeland to the prestigious Italian Chef Academy School in Rome, where she graduated top of her class.
Chef Sasha fine-tuned her culinary craft at home during her decade-long immersion in an Italian household, further shaping her culinary philosophy and developing a profound respect for homegrown, artisanal ingredients.
Furthermore, under the guidance of Italy’s renowned culinary masters, including Michelin- starred Noda Kotoro and Massimo Blasone, she also participated in events with the most famous Italian chef Carlo Cracco, and her last stint in Rome was at the prestigious Roma Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria at La Pergola Restaurant under Chef Heinz Beck, the only 3 Michelin star restaurant in Rome.
Answering the call of her roots, Chef Sasha returned to Thailand, infusing her newfound knowledge into the dishes in Peninsula Hotel at Thiptara Restaurant. The management of Thiptara restaurant, impressed by Chef Sasha’s innovative menu and culinary expertise, agreed to undergo a transformation from a traditional to a contemporary Thai dining experience under her guidance.
Today, Chef Sasha stands at the helm of Hybrid Restaurant. The restaurant’s name, Hybrid, was inspired by Chef Sasha’s innovative menu, which is a union of two diverse cultures and ingredients. It features select, high-quality Thai products prepared using Italian techniques she mastered while living abroad yet retains the distinct and refined flavours of Thai cuisine. In Chef Sasha’s words, “Hybrid symbolizes the melding of two superior culinary styles, crafting flavorful dishes that each have their own unique narrative.”
Chef Sasha’s culinary vision for Hybrid, influenced by her Thai heritage and her extensive culinary experiences in Italy, combines flamboyant flavours from both cuisines, creating a truly unique concept in the Thai fine dining scene.
The name Hybrid holds a meaning that reflects the harmonious blend of two distinct culinary traditions. It represents the union of the finest products, flavours, techniques, and cultural influences that come together to create a unique and extraordinary dining experience. The name signifies the coming together of different worlds, celebrating the diversity and richness of culinary heritage.
Chef Sasha invites you to embark on a gastronomic journey that blends love for the freshest products, passion, and environmental consciousness wrapped in a harmonious blend of Siamese delicacies and vibrant Italian cuisine.
