ROBERT KHAING X MNTD 3 JUNE 2025

About

Born in Burma and raised in Thailand, Chef Robert’s culinary journey is rooted in the vibrant traditions of Southeast Asia. His passion for food was shaped early on by the bold, aromatic flavors of his heritage, and later refined through years spent honing his craft in Michelin-starred kitchens such as Angler and Sola in London.

Robert’s cooking is a tribute to his cultural roots — a thoughtful fusion of Burmese, Thai, and Chinese influences, reimagined with the finesse of modern European technique. Following a successful run of pop-ups and residencies across London, he now introduces a menu that brings together the soulful depth of Burmese cuisine with the dynamism of Chinese culinary traditions.

Expect fiery sauces, fermented tea leaves, and unapologetically bold flavors — each dish a celebration of contrast, memory, and innovation.

For Robert, food has always been a meeting point of cultures. With his latest venture, he embraces that intersection fully, serving dishes that feel both deeply personal and refreshingly new.
