This is the best restaurant in Asia

For the third year running,  Bangkok' has nabbed the top spot of San Pellegrino Asia's 50 Best Restaurant Awards as Gaggan won the top spot this year.

Gaggan, whose food has been described as "progressive Indian cuisine" took over from rival Bangkok eatery Nahm, which took the top prize in 2014.

According to CNN, restaurant owner chef Anand Gaggan opened his eponymous restaurant in 2010 with a mission and vision to "reinvigorate" Indian cuisine by exploiting contemporary techniques and adding molecular twists to traditional Indian dishes.

Speaking on his victory, Gaggan said "it is different, because it doesn't look the same, it doesn't feel the same, it doesn't scent the same, but if you are from , and you put it in your mouth and close your eyes, it is a short flight to the street there, and you are getting the same flavor that you were raised on."

He further stated that winning the award last year gave him the confidence to  follow his instincts rather than cater to customer whims, therefore  "2015-16, we cooked what we wanted to cook, we don't think, 'Will this make that person happy?' Let's make ourselves happy. And if we cook happy, I hope the guest is happy. And I'm sure they will be."
