 Bo.lan is a celebrated Michelin-Star restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand. The name “Bo.lan” came from its founders and chefs’ names: Chef Duangporn Songvisava’s nickname “Bo” and the second half of Chef Dylan Jones’ first name, “Lan”. Chef Bo and Chef Dylan’s dishes were truly creative yet deeply rooted in Thai tradition. For example, if guests requested for less spicy food, the chef will not simply prepare all dishes with with less chili; instead, she would design a Thai menu with dishes that are traditionally less spicy. Hence, the guests will always get the “real thing”, and not a watered-down version of Thai food.

 The dinner at Praya Palazzo, Bangkok, on 29 Aug 2019 was themed Redefine Memory. This is an apt theme as it brings back memories of this reviewer's first visit to this venue in 2011. New owner, new chef, new and improved tastes. Memory was indeed redefined.
