For this menu for the Queen of Thailand’s entourage, Hubert Keller received two requests: to serve chicken as the main course, and to serve something from Thailand. He wished to keep the menu simple and uncomplicated.

The response to the soup dish was so great that it was subsequently added to his restaurant menu at Fleurs de Lys. The chocolate créme brûlée, despite its popularity now, was then unusual. Keller decided upon that combination “because everybody likes chocolate—and bananas and chocolate are a great combination that really work well together!” This dessert is still on his restaurant menu.
