00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.560
Hello, this is Bangkok Dinner

2
00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:03.780
Oh, Bangkok Dinner

3
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:05.500
It's raining so much right now

4
00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:06.881
It was really hard to get here, actually

5
00:00:06.881 --> 00:00:07.840
We had a hard time

6
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:09.920
We came all the way here from a far place

7
00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:11.520
We've come to a famous restaurant

8
00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:13.220
Yeah, here it's a little..

9
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.100
It's said to be a unique restaurant

10
00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:17.340
so we came here today

11
00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:19.140
We have to go into an alley a bit,

12
00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:21.460
but it seems to have that much atmosphere

13
00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:23.301
So let's check it out

14
00:00:23.301 --> 00:00:23.796
Let's do that

15
00:00:23.796 --> 00:00:25.503
(Michelin One Star)

16
00:00:25.503 --> 00:00:30.583
(Impressive Awards History)

17
00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:34.260
(One Sheet of Paper)

18
00:00:35.090 --> 00:00:38.290
(Welcome Drink)

19
00:00:40.220 --> 00:00:42.060
As soon as we entered, they gave us a pamphlet

20
00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:44.060
Inside, there's the family history

21
00:00:44.060 --> 00:00:45.480
How the restaurant was opened

22
00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:46.340
Seems like the family opened it, right?

23
00:00:46.561 --> 00:00:47.920
The history is laid out

24
00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:50.520
If you scan the QR code below,

25
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:51.760
they say, a video pops up

26
00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:52.961
It seems really amazing

27
00:00:52.961 --> 00:00:53.860
I think it's well done

28
00:00:53.860 --> 00:00:55.120
When I glanced at it earlier,

29
00:00:55.120 --> 00:00:56.760
this place used to be a pharmacy

30
00:00:57.100 --> 00:00:58.800
So these decorations,

31
00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:01.320
are all related to the pharmacy

32
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.900
The family used to make medicine,

33
00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:05.140
this was a pharmacy,

34
00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:07.121
and they turned it into a restaurant

35
00:01:07.121 --> 00:01:07.800
Oh, that's interesting

36
00:01:07.800 --> 00:01:09.080
So, in this way,

37
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:11.300
they made a whole story

38
00:01:11.300 --> 00:01:13.960
Of course... Michelin stars

39
00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:16.080
are all about the storytelling

40
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:16.940
(Difference in Class)

41
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:19.640
When you map it like this,

42
00:01:20.020 --> 00:01:21.300
a person comes out like this

43
00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:23.446
(Restaurant Introduction)

44
00:01:24.286 --> 00:01:25.860
This kind of restaurant feels like the first time

45
00:01:25.860 --> 00:01:27.680
Yeah, I've never seen Michelin

46
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:29.376
take this kind of approach before

47
00:01:29.376 --> 00:01:32.695
(5-story structure)

48
00:01:32.695 --> 00:01:36.855
(Kind explanation)

49
00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:38.140
So they sold these kinds of medicines?

50
00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:39.721
Yeah, they only sold these medicines

51
00:01:39.721 --> 00:01:40.677
at the pharmacy

52
00:01:41.406 --> 00:01:42.740
(The only medicine sold)

53
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:44.960
Super close for two people

54
00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:46.261
(Mini elevator)

55
00:01:46.261 --> 00:01:47.940
Let's take the lift

56
00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:51.300
But turning the whole building into

57
00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:53.480
part of the experience like this?

58
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.080
- That’s pretty unique
- Right

59
00:01:55.080 --> 00:01:56.400
I think this is my first time at a restaurant like this

60
00:01:56.401 --> 00:01:57.669
Right, it's my first time too

61
00:01:57.669 --> 00:01:59.000
So before eating...

62
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.720
the process beforehand is kind of long

63
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.001
There are some explanations

64
00:02:02.001 --> 00:02:03.300
You have to drink a cup of tea

65
00:02:03.300 --> 00:02:04.780
You have to sit and look around

66
00:02:04.781 --> 00:02:05.280
That's right

67
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:06.060
That's quite unique

68
00:02:10.541 --> 00:02:11.040
Like..

69
00:02:11.040 --> 00:02:12.660
You might fall if you're not careful

70
00:02:13.740 --> 00:02:15.100
It feels aged

71
00:02:15.100 --> 00:02:15.780
Indeed

72
00:02:16.326 --> 00:02:17.181
They decorated it all

73
00:02:17.181 --> 00:02:18.380
(Very slow)

74
00:02:18.380 --> 00:02:20.000
It’s like the whole building

75
00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:21.760
is one big show

76
00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:23.500
 you just move through

77
00:02:23.500 --> 00:02:24.281
It's so amazing

78
00:02:24.281 --> 00:02:24.880
(Observing)

79
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.960
This way, a high-end Chinese Michelin restaurant

80
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.400
Creating it itself is really ingenious

81
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:30.280
Exactly

82
00:02:30.660 --> 00:02:32.900
- You can also see the kitchen as you go up
- Right

83
00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:35.440
You can also see the old building feel here and there

84
00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:36.600
It's very refreshing, isn't it?

85
00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:39.644
This overall experience seems like it will be truly special

86
00:02:39.644 --> 00:02:40.380
(Expectation)

87
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:41.880
Arrived

88
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.361
(Celebration party)

89
00:02:54.361 --> 00:02:55.921
(Appetizer)

90
00:02:55.981 --> 00:02:57.520
Even these small things are very

91
00:02:57.780 --> 00:02:58.940
beautifully presented

92
00:02:59.640 --> 00:03:00.920
This is kind of..

93
00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:01.720
very detailed

94
00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:04.140
This is kind of like shrimp toast, right?

95
00:03:05.540 --> 00:03:07.480
It's really delicious

96
00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:09.520
The thing about Michelin is

97
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.240
each small thing has a variety of flavors

98
00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:14.040
That's the point

99
00:03:16.340 --> 00:03:18.220
So even if you eat one, you can feel various flavors

100
00:03:18.220 --> 00:03:19.780
(Various flavors)

101
00:03:20.144 --> 00:03:21.020
First of all, it's really delicious

102
00:03:21.020 --> 00:03:22.360
Hmm... about the taste,

103
00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:23.540
there's no need to talk about it

104
00:03:25.208 --> 00:03:26.668
(Third batter)

105
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:28.320
Does it taste a bit like curry?

106
00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:30.460
But it doesn't seem like there are many seats inside

107
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.140
Is this not up to the Michelin star guide standard?

108
00:03:34.140 --> 00:03:36.320
It seems like there isn't a particular standard for that

109
00:03:36.320 --> 00:03:37.280
The Michelin standard is

110
00:03:37.281 --> 00:03:39.927
how well the local ingredients are utilized,

111
00:03:39.927 --> 00:03:40.920
is one point

112
00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:42.040
Storytelling,

113
00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:44.180
what kind of story is used to create the food

114
00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:45.660
Usually, food has a clear concept

115
00:03:45.660 --> 00:03:47.760
like it’s either Chinese or Western or whatever

116
00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:48.827

They have a concept like this

117
00:03:49.100 --> 00:03:51.260
But what sets Michelin apart is

118
00:03:51.260 --> 00:03:53.720
 how they connect that concept to their own narrative

119
00:03:53.720 --> 00:03:54.201
That’s the difference

120
00:03:54.201 --> 00:03:55.701
(Expert explanation)

121
00:03:55.701 --> 00:03:58.280
So how well that storytelling is conveyed

122
00:03:58.280 --> 00:03:59.840
and how good the quality is determines

123
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:00.960
the number of stars

124
00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:03.160
But it's fascinating that they got

125
00:04:03.160 --> 00:04:04.680
the Michelin star for the first time this year

126
00:04:04.681 --> 00:04:05.480
Right

127
00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:07.000
They should have received it already

128
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.760
But this usually takes a bit of time

129
00:04:09.100 --> 00:04:11.400
It builds up over time, word gets around,

130
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:12.440
a reputation forms,

131
00:04:12.440 --> 00:04:14.400
 and then comes Michelin

132
00:04:15.325 --> 00:04:17.940
(Off to the next spot)

133
00:04:18.700 --> 00:04:20.020
Let's go by the stairs

134
00:04:20.380 --> 00:04:23.220
Wow, this is a completely old-fashioned building

135
00:04:23.940 --> 00:04:26.160
The stairs don't fit the whole foot

136
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:27.120
Watch your head

137
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.320
There's also a steep slope

138
00:04:30.540 --> 00:04:32.100
But in terms of experience,

139
00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:33.720
things like this are really good, I think

140
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:34.900
Even if it's a bit uncomfortable,

141
00:04:34.900 --> 00:04:36.440
preserving a little of the old as it is

142
00:04:36.440 --> 00:04:37.900
I know, it's kind of new

143
00:04:38.076 --> 00:04:39.200
These days, there aren't many restaurants like this

144
00:04:39.316 --> 00:04:40.460
(Arrived at the wrong place)

145
00:04:40.460 --> 00:04:41.540
We should have gone a bit further down

146
00:04:42.580 --> 00:04:44.120
We almost entered someone else's house

147
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:44.800
We went in the wrong way

148
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.193
(Starting from the upper floor to under)

149
00:04:47.900 --> 00:04:48.880
Come this way

150
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:50.060
Directly like this..

151
00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:54.060
It's just right

152
00:04:54.061 --> 00:04:55.521
(Amazing atmosphere)

153
00:04:56.700 --> 00:04:58.540
I thought we ate everything earlier

154
00:04:58.540 --> 00:04:59.560
But that's not the case

155
00:04:59.561 --> 00:05:00.480
I don't think so

156
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:01.180
All experiences...

157
00:05:01.180 --> 00:05:03.700
It feels like they designed each floor

158
00:05:03.700 --> 00:05:04.640
 to give you a totally different experience

159
00:05:04.640 --> 00:05:05.960
Because the feeling is different

160
00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:07.812
That seems really new
