Sorn

Sorn is a restaurant that focuses on presenting authentic southern Thai cuisine, using only the best ingredients sourced directly from farmers and fishermen in southern Thailand. Chef Ice, also known as Supaksorn “Ice”Jongsiri, has a deep-rooted appreciation for the culinary culture of the south and draws inspiration from his grandmother who was always the one cooking for the whole family. Before founding Sorn, Ice embarked on a two-year journey to all 14 provinces of southern Thailand, immersing himself in learning cooking techniques from farmers, fishermen, foragers, and long-standing local eateries. He learned ancient techniques such as using a charcoal stove to prepare rice and grinding rice grains into powder with stone mortars. Sorn's philosophy emphasizes tradition, infusing elements of time and love into the dining experience. It encourages revisiting the culinary heritage, rediscovering flavors and techniques that have been passed down through generations. By embracing food traditions, Sorn taps into a world of forgotten recipes and ingredients, allowing them to redefine their culinary experiences endlessly. Tradition becomes a catalyst for exploration in the kitchen, helping to find new meaning and purpose in sharing culinary creations with guests. Sorn is set in a quieter part of Bangkok city center, surrounded by high-rise buildings, and is set in a meticulously restored house to its original architectural design. Chef Supaksorn chose a traditional setting for Sorn as it resonates with their core philosophy and food concept.
