The balance of cultural heritages
New flavours that break clichés
Of Chinese and Cambodian origin, the chef of Kim Lien welcomes you to his warm restaurant to offer you his vision of Asian cuisine.
At the Thai restaurant Kim Lien in Lutterbach, the products are carefully selected. Seasonal fish, France meats, herbs, spices and vegetables typical of Southeast Asia. We tasted the “Lok Lak”, a Cambodian specialty reviewed by Chef Ponlu Nay. Bites of faisandized and marinated beef fillet are tender to die for. And the lemon/pepper juice for dipping meat offers a delicious pep in the mouth. The Chef is, without a doubt, a master of flavors who illustrates his talents in a personal and unprecedented interpretation of Asian specialties. While it is better to book for the room, a large majority of the dishes are offered to take away.
The encounter between an instruction at the French hotel school and the Chinese and Cambodian culture of chef Ponlu Nay, is reflected in the balance of the cuisine of the restaurant Kim Lien. An Asian restaurant inspired mainly by South Asian specialties. But that stands out from the crowd by offering a cozy decoration that moves away from the clichés of the Asian restaurant to make a more personal approach to cooking.
The visit to the Thai restaurant is motivated by the desire to discover the chef’s vision of Asian cuisine. But also the atypical way in which it is represented. Because the restaurant takes a much more friendly and human approach. The staff is welcoming and the menu contains just enough choices to suit all desires by guaranteeing a cuisine made with fresh products.
