Born from an unique collaboration between top Scottish chef, Finn Steel-Perkins, and Great British Menu star, Ali Borer. With their shared passion for exceptional food and contrasting cooking styles, this culinary duo is set to develop an elevated dining experience for guests to share.
The development of this new sharing-style menu, is all part of a new direction and a £150,000 investment by Scottish entrepreneur, Brad Stevens for Mamasan as it rolls out an elevated concept that will focus on enhancing the guest experience. With three new pillars - Bar, BBQ and Records, the reimagined concept will also include Scotland’s first listening bar, complete with top music programming spearheaded by DJs and tastemakers to be rolled out next month in Glasgow.
The exciting partnership between Perkins and Borer is testament to the power of creative minds coming together. Drawing inspiration from their diverse backgrounds and travels to Southeast Asia, Australia, and Malaysia, the pair have embarked on a journey to explore and expand the boundaries of live fire cooking techniques incorporating Thai Cuisine. The result? A brand-new Thai BBQ menu for Mamasan, featuring dishes that are as innovative as they are delectable, all cooked over coal on a bespoke, handcrafted grill from Somerset-based, Firemade.
With an extensive background in fine-dining and modern cuisine, Finn Steel-Perkins has honed his craft in some of Scotland's most esteemed venues. His expertise pairs seamlessly with Ali Borer's focus on local, wild cookery and the rich culinary inspirations garnered from his extensive travels. Together, they are developing a cooked over fire menu that is both a celebration of traditional Southeast Asian cuisine and a bold foray into new culinary territories.
Speaking about the BBQ menu, Finn Steele- Perkins, Head Chef at Mamasan, said: “Cooking over fire has been at the forefront of my culinary ambitions for a very long time. Having the opportunity to incorporate my knowledge and skills I have developed over the years, included with my passion for Thai cuisine, I am excited to lead my team in Scotland's first live fire thai restaurant into its new beginnings”
“We’ve got a new custom-built fire pit taking centre stand in our kitchen, this will be the core to cooking all aspects of the menu. Utilising a combination of slow smoking and grilling over the fire, with a mixture of fuels such as charcoal, Holmoak wood, lemongrass and coconut to develop a real depth of flavour throughout.
“Locally sourced meats, seafood, and traditional Thai ingredients will champion our menu as we work closely with our trusted suppliers to deliver the best possible end result, to share with our diners this spring.”
Chef Ali Borer, said: “I was very honoured to be asked to come up and collaborate with developing the new Thai BBQ menu at Mamasan. It’s been a great process, getting the chance to work with the talented Finn and help him streamline the offer.
“I had a great time in the kitchen with Finn and his team and I believe this new menu will be a great addition to Glasgow.”
Located on Ingram Street, Mamasan is a beacon of Southeast Asian cuisine, known for its dedication to authentic flavours and innovative dining experiences. With the upcoming launch of this exciting new menu, Mamasan continues to push the boundaries of what guests can expect, promising an unforgettable journey of taste and discovery.
Mamasan invites you to be among the first to experience this exciting new BBQ collaboration, where the ancient art of cooking with fire meets the innovative visions of two of the UK’s culinary stars. This spring, prepare to embark on a flavour journey like no other, only at Mamasan Glasgow.
