Takieng joins hands with Chef Zetrong (Winner, MasterChef Thailand Season 6) and Chef Ja, Chef de Cuisine at Takieng, for a two-night only for the exclusive 4 hands dinner where royal Thai heritage meets Phuket's coastal soul—presented in six elegant courses with an optional, curated Penfolds wine pairing.
Kitja Muakin, known as Chef Ja, brings over 12 years of culinary experience to his role as Chef de Cuisine at Takieng. A graduate of Dusit Thani College in Bangkok, his career has taken him from Phuket to Bangkok, then abroad to Macau, before returning to Thailand to further refine his skills across several renowned Thai restaurants. Inspired by his mother's love for cooking, Chef Ja now presents bold, authentic Thai flavors using locally sourced ingredients—showcased in his signature dish, Kuo Kling Pla Mong, and a rotating menu that changes every two months. "I want guests at Takieng to feel like they're enjoying a Thai-style home-cooked meal," he shares.
