Renowned Thai Chef Thitid Tassanakajohn, more popularly known as Chef Ton, marks his second Malaysian venture and 27th outlet with As I Am — a new fine dining destination serving up reimagined Thai cuisine.
Housed inside the historic Tuah 1895 building in Kuala Lumpur, As I Am offers a relaxed yet thoughtful take on modern Thai fine dining. The restaurant features a carefully crafted 12-course tasting menu that draws inspiration from tradition, memory, and contemporary techniques.
Each dish stays true to the heart of Thai cuisine — bold, balanced, and full of flavor — while presenting it in a more refined and modern way. Highlights from the menu include the Thai Crepe with Crab Curry & Caviar, a refined take on a classic; Kanom Jeen Nam Prik Poo, featuring fermented rice noodles paired with crab meat, banana blossom, and Thai acacia; the richly flavored Red Curry Duck with Longan; and a memorable finish with Smoked Coconut Ice Cream for dessert. You can experience this tasting menu for RM450++.
Leading the kitchen is Head Chef Whan, a rising name in the modern Thai food scene who trained under David Thompson, one of the most influential figures in Thai cuisine. He also previously worked as Senior Sous Chef at Aksorn, Chef David’s one-Michelin-starred restaurant. That background shines through in the food at As I Am, where classic Thai flavors are respected, elevated, and made to feel fresh without losing their soul.
The restaurant is currently accepting reservations for January. The restaurant offers private dining experiences within its luxurious private rooms that can seat up to 12 guests, as well as larger private sections accommodating up to 20 people.
