Sitting pretty in the ethereal temple-shaped Sawan Pavilion within the Intercontinental Phuket Resort, the hom journey begins in the hotel lobby from where you are escorted via a misty path flanked with mirror walls, recreating the path to heaven. The white enclave takes your breath away, as you are regaled with stories of 14th-century Buddhist cosmology which inspired the pavilion\u2019s design.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Food philosophy<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ascending a flight of steps into the restaurant, you can not help but be awestruck by the white interiors that sit somewhere between fairyland and god\u2019s own abode. And this is where the magic starts. Chef Ricardo Nunes, Chef de cuisine of hom, has a deep understanding of local produce as well as culinary techniques to bring out the best flavours, having done his time at Michelin-starred restaurants like London\u2019s Le Dame du Pic and Bangkok\u2019s Potong and Gaggan. With more than seven years of experience working in Thailand, this Portuguese chef knows more about the native ingredients than the locals themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-large wp-image-21069\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-1024x683.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27683%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20683%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%273683%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hom_restaurant_Fermented-Jar-min_11zon-scaled.jpg 2560w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Fermentation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The food philosophy at hom centres around two pillars &#8211; local produce and fermentation. With 98% ingredients sourced from Thailand, and 90% from <a href=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/best-phuket-beach-for-your-holiday-style\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Phuket<\/a> itself, the restaurant\u2019s menu lends credibility to conscious dining, highlighting the products of Thailand. From caviar sourced from Hua Hin to fruit or fresh fish that the chef discovered just this morning at the local wet market, the produce-forward menu at hom never fails to surprise.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Eat Local<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The highly talented kitchen team believes in constant experimentation, and this is apparent in the \u2018fermentation wall\u2019 in the restaurant where you find jars of products being fermented by the in-house Fermentation Expert, Mateo Polanco and his team. Some of the products being fermented like banana blossoms do not even have an expression in a dish yet.

It is a symphony of flavours, using native ingredients, often simple in their origin such as coconut flesh, and converting them into something outwardly like the second course &#8211; Coconut &amp; Smoked Caviar, which presents smoked Hua Hin caviar, served with a salted macadamia sauce and preserved palm seed, inside a young coconut carved as a piece of tableware. The flavours are simple, yet complex, allowing the various elements to sing their piece without overwhelming the entire dish.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Beverage program<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wine program is well-thought too, matching these sometimes unusual flavours with hand-picked wines from France, Italy and beyond. These natural, organic and biodynamic wines complement each course.

Besides the health benefits of microbes and fermentation, using this technique to bring out the best flavours of local ingredients, muting the funkiness and allowing them to be mellow and soft, speaks volumes about the talent in the kitchen.
