Chef Dan Bark’s culinary thesis at Cadence is a sophisticated narrative of his Korean-American heritage and fine-dining pedigree in Bangkok. The experience begins with a reimagined somtum that awakens the palate, followed by red shrimp bathed in kaffir lime milk and calamansi. A standout course features English pea purée paired with lavender-compressed cantaloupe, where the shattering crunch of fried glass noodles provides a sharp textural counterpoint. The earthy perfume of black truffles heralds the arrival of hand-rolled agnolotti, while the main event draws from Korean barbecue traditions. Here, rib-eye is charred to a smoky finish and served alongside modern interpretations of ssam-jang. The journey concludes with a complex dessert of 74% dark chocolate, its richness balanced by semi-dehydrated pickled beetroot. Each plate reflects a meticulous balance of acidity and depth.
