Integrated resort operator MGM is set to launch next month its “Gastronomic Journey with Star Chefs” series of 2025.
Slated to take place on March 7 and 8, the statement said that 2-star Michelin chef and owner of Thai restaurant Baan Tepa Culinary Space from Bangkok, Chudaree “Tam” Debhakam (Chef Tam), who was chosen as Asia’s Best Female Chef 2025 by Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, will “present traditional Thai flavours with a modern flair” at Aj at MGM COTAI.
