From Bangkok to New Delhi: Honk Unveils an Authentic Thai Culinary Showcase

New Delhi, 20th January 2026: Rooted in centuries of tradition and shaped by regional nuance, Thai cuisine is as much about balance as it is about boldness. Honk captures this spirit with a limited-time Thai pop-up from 23rd January to 1st February, curated by internationally acclaimed Thai Master Chef Penpak Panjampee.

Drawing inspiration from Bangkok’s Street markets and traditional home kitchens, Chef Penpak’s culinary philosophy revolves around preserving the soul of Thai Cuisine while bringing it in a contemporary format that resonates with global palates. Her approach blends cultural storytelling, refined presentation, and sustainable cooking practices, transforming each dish into a narrative of Thailand’s history and traditions.

Renowned for its harmonious balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy, Thai cuisine comes alive through a thoughtfully crafted à la carte menu during dinner and an extravagant spread during brunches on Sundays. The main courses highlight depth and indulgence, from a fiery southern thai fish curry, Kaeng Som Thai to bold stir-fries like Pad Phak Ruam Mit and Kai Phat Met Mamuang concluding on a sweet note with traditional desserts like Thai Tea Bread Pudding and Steamed Toast with Pandanus Custard, offering gentle, aromatic finishes to the meal.

Chef Penpak Panjampee brings with her a wealth of global culinary experience, having led Thai kitchens and curated festivals across Thailand, Maldives, Japan, Malaysia, South Africa, Hong Kong, Turkey, and beyond. A celebrated food festival curator in collaboration with the Royal Thai Consulate, Thai Trade Center, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand, she is revered for presenting Thai classics with finesse, authenticity, and cultural integrity.

Manish Dayya, General Manager, Pullman and Novotel New Delhi Aerocity, shared, “Honk showcases culinary signatures from eight distinct regions, with Thai cuisine being among our most celebrated offerings. We are delighted to welcome Chef Penpak Panjampee, whose depth of knowledge and authenticity bring a compelling perspective to this pop-up. We look forward to our guests experiencing her cuisine, shaped by tradition, technique, and a deep understanding of Thailand’s food culture.”

Set within Honk’s modern and stylish ambience, the festival promises a distinctive dining experience, one that goes beyond taste to celebrate heritage, craftsmanship, and cultural connection through food. Guests can look forward to an immersive journey into Thailand’s culinary legacy, thoughtfully curated and elegantly served.
