Chef Pisit ‘Jino’ Jinopong and Chef Rick Dingen

Thai-born Jino, Executive Chef at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort and an avid aficionado of Lanna cuisine, and Dutch native Rick, Chef De Cuisine at Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel’s award-winning Madison Restaurant, team up for a delicious collaboration of Northern Thai cuisine and a modern interpretation of classic European fare that highlights local ingredients.

Jino’s much in-demand culinary skill and creativity in both Asian and Western cuisine come from his more than 25 years’ experience as a chef in top establishments from Macau to Maldives and from Singapore to Thailand. During this time, he also broadened his horizons of creativity and innovation whilst working as a guest chef in many hotels in Europe.

Originally from Eindhoven, Rick worked in various Dutch kitchens, including those of Restaurant La Rive at the InterContinental Amsterdam and the Michelin-starred De Heer Kocken. He also worked as Chef de Partie at the celebrated Inter Scaldes, which was awarded three Michelin stars and named the best restaurant in the Netherlands. In Thailand, he joined the kitchens of celebrated Bangkok restaurants Savelberg and Haoma.
