She was recently tapped to lead Nahm by the Singaporean business mogul Christina Ong, and for more than a month she has been living in this suite, 11 stories above the restaurant in the Metropolitan Hotel, in the Sathorn district of Bangkok. Techamuanvivit lives in San Francisco and opened her first restaurant, Kin Khao, at the edge of the Tenderloin in 2014. She moved the notes around, again and again, writing new ones in a mixture of Thai and English. She shuffled dish names into clusters, aiming for a variety of flavors and techniques, imagining the pace at which family-style plates would be set on the table, then cleared.
The case at hand: Devising a new menu for Nahm, the internationally acclaimed Thai fine-dining restaurant. So, like a tenacious detective, she taped huge sheets of white paper to her hotel room wall and covered them in color-coded sticky notes, charting out her clues.
BANGKOK - It was close to 2 a.m., and Pim Techamuanvivit couldn’t sleep.
