OCTOBER 2014

A unique dining concept inspired to frequent visits

to New York and absorbing the ‘Big Apple’ life-

style. It is one of Rishi Arora’s favourite cities where

locals wake early and queue at their favourite eat-

eries to start their day with a good breakfast or

brunch. He and his sister Shareen wanted to bring

the affordable New York breakfast/brunch culture

to Bangkok and opened TriBeCa in the fashion-

able Thonglor residential district where they serve

classic American staples, made fresh with good

quality ingredients at anytime of the day when

guests feel the need.

They wanted to offer something different to what

was already in available in Bangkok. They chose

the name TriBeCa as it’s a neighbourhood of

Lower Manhatten of New York City that has

the buzz they wanted to recreate. It’s a acro-

nym from Triangle Below Canal Street, an area

bound by Canal Street, West Street, Broadway

and Vesey Street.

They gave this concept to Whitespace a design

consultancy headquartered in Bangkok, found-

ed in 2004 by American architect David Mayer.

They had the cultural understanding to create

an authentic New York cool look for this brunch

orientated bistro style restaurant. To explain the

name to those unfamiliar with New York a floor

to ceiling map of the district covers the far wall.

The space they had to work with was split level

as part sits over the entrance to the building’s

underground car park. White tiles, painted brick

walls and wooden panels is complimented with

three leather booths to complete the loft deck.

It’s bathed in plenty natural light during the day.

Leading off of the loft is a covered outdoor area

with a large table for 14, a useful overflow area

at busy times such as weekends and to accom-

modate those guests who wish to smoke with-

out having to leave the restaurant. A curious

artefact on the bar counter was weighing scales

with a clock face, it’s origins remain a mystery,

Rishi found it an antique market in Bangkok. It

looked totally appropriate for this setting.

The first dish we tasted was created by Rishi,

Home Made Truffle Mac & Cheese Balls. Small

pieces of macaroni in a rich creamy four cheese

sauce infused with truffle oil rolled into a ball,

dipped in a light batter and deep fried, reserved

on waxed paper sitting in a mini metal fryer.

Easy dining comfort food suitable for any time

of the day.

Next the plate wide Triple Deck Club Sandwich

filled with grilled chicken breast, slices of fresh

tomato, lettuce, fried egg and cheddar cheese

between three slice of toasted Maison Jean-

Philippe sour dough bread, cut into three por-

tions pinned together by a bamboo stick. A very

generous serving and possibly one of the best

Club sandwiches in Bangkok.

We were particularly impressed with their Spa-

ghetti Aglio Olio, generous portions of halved

Kalamatta olives and cherry tomatoes in a spicy

tomato sauce with the lingering taste due to the

use of Korean chilli flakes and crispy bacon. The

pasta was perfectly cooked al dente another

perfect any time of the day dish. We enjoyed

quality wine by the glass with the meal.

To finish the meal an indulgently chocolate Malt

cake with toasted marshmallow frosting that

had been flame torched. When it came the table

we first thought it was an Alsaka meringue icing

but the marshmallow was so much lighter and

a perfect taste and texture combination. Culmi-

nating with a professionally extracted espresso.

They do have a dinner menu for guests look-

ing for something a little more substantial which

PERSoNAliTyoF ThE MoNTh

DAviD STANToN

Originally from Wellington New Zealand, David graduated from Syra-

cuse University New York. It was his ingenuity at reaching the office of

the Human Resources Director that landed him an internship at Four

Seasons New York. From there he worked for 12 years with the luxury

hotel group first based in New York, then in Hampshire UK but being

a city boy lived in London. From there he travelled the world as part

of the opening team of their new properties. He first came to Asia

as Assistant Food & Beverage Director with Four Seasons Hotel Hong

Kong. “New York will always be my favourite city,” says David, “in

terms of getting things done, the speed of Hong Kong out performs

the Big Apple.”

Ever ambitious he took the promotion to Food & Beverage Director

in the beach resort of Four Seasons Koh Samui. “What I loved about

working it the hotel business is that it’s full on 24/7 and never gets

a chance to close. I was working doctor’s hours. It was a challenge

dropping down a couple of gears to the slower pace of a beach resort,

the plus was I had more time to interact with guests.”

“After 12 years with Four Seasons I was at the stage in my life when

I wanted to do my own thing,” he says. “Quitting Four Seasons was a

hard decisions because looked after me so well. My formal suit and tie

was the costume of the job role, when I put it on got into work mode

when I came home I could take it off, come out of character and be

myself. That doesn’t happen when you are running your own business.

The one thing I still miss is working with a team of professionally like

minded people.”

David has now been living in Bangkok for three and a half years. He

previously had a bar ‘print’ with a easy going atmosphere offering a

‘zero attitude’ night life experience. Chris Foo of BREW Bees & Cider

had discussed the idea of doing something different. One rainy Tues-

day night the idea for BANGERS gelled over a game of pool. A mutual

anti-burger sentiment they wanted to offer something different simple

honest hot dog made from sausages of the world, hand crafted beers

and shakes made with fresh milk, ice cream and flavoured syrups free

of crushed ice. The name BANGERS has two origins one the colloquial

name for sausages, the other the name of the city we live in.”

There are just two core elements to a hot dog, a bread bun and

a grilled sausage. “We didn’t want a yucky soft sweet fairy bread

bun,” he says, “it took us ages working with Maison Jean-Philippe

to get the bread right. The other thing was the sausage. I was

surprised that there are more than 12 sausage makers in Thailand.

We knew that weeded seven different types of sausage. To decide

which sausages to use we did a strict blind tasting, what amazed

me was and a cross the board our tasting panel were agreement in

which to use. We now have six sausage suppliers.”

“To serve the perfect shake we had to find the right machine,” he

says, “they became an unexpected hit. The beers was easy, they

come from Chris’s company, I was surprised how educated our cus-

tomers are about them.”

“All that I have brought from my hospitality background was my

pickiness,” David admits. “At Four Seasons the majority of our guests

were staying on company expenses. Running my own small business

I realise that our customers spending there own money. While I was

working for the when I came to Bangkok I would stay at Metrolitan

for the privacy. I will never live in a city that I am more confused

about. I do feel very at home in my Thonglor neighbourhood.”
