Asian Sensation – An ode to the culinary cocktail
World of sensation is a series of summits created in 2022 in order to showcase cocktail pairing with in fine-dining restaurants. The summits were founded by Roy Yerushalmi, creative Director of the organizer, Rex Industries. Their inspiration came in Latin America, after experiencing the hybrid cocktail and wine pairing menu in Peru's Central restaurant – and moreover, in young chef Jaime Rodriguez's restaurant, Celele.
There, in Cartagena, Colombia, only cocktails are unapologetically served with Jaime’s excellent food, and with a little help of the bartenders from the adjacent cocktail shrine, Alquimico bar.
The first WOS summit, Asian Sensation (ASSE), took place in Bangkok. A young urban hub where it feels natural to connect leading bartenders with the continent's best chefs. The result: 72 hours of cocktail-paired meals, culinary experiences, guest shifts and mixology.
Bangkok itself is a city that isn’t afraid to revise the way one thinks about fine dining. Here, chefs constantly create new, hybrid combinations that previously considered unheard of, such as a cocktail bar within Michelin-starred restaurants and spirit-based tasting menus.
