P*ONG, Pichet Ong’s Flavor-fueled Restaurant Opens

You’ve always loved playing with your food. Too bad food hasn’t really been much fun since that seventh grade food fight you started.

That’s where Pichet Ong comes in.

Celeb pastry chef and classically trained architect Ong is bringing his unique blend of sweet and rich flavors in dishes that are visually stunning and whimsical to his new culinary arena P*ONG.

Best known for his desserts at Jean Georges Vongerichten’s 66 and Spice Market (where his “Thai Jewels” was named “Best Dessert” by New York Magazine in 2005), Ong brings a wider palate of flavors to balance out P*ONG’s menu.

Choose from a menu organized by flavor to get the full experience: for savory, try black pepper scallop toast with Seville orange marmalade, and for sweet, go with concord grape soda tapioca with Hawaiian ginger and Greek yogurt sherbet.

Complement your food with a conceptual cocktail by stylist Yvan Lemoine. Consider the Exotica and it’s elements: the mangosteen (once a forbidden fruit in the US), gin, lemon, and moscato d’asti, or a Chocolate Mojito composed of passion fruit juice and mint ice (yum!).

Because nothing makes food more fun than fine drinks.


P*ONG opens its sweet doors on Friday, April 20th.
