迪宅南洋餐酒 DeeJai Bistro Modern Asian CuisineStarting with spices from Southeast Asia, Deejai aims to explore the spice-based culinary culture of various Asian regions, reinterpreting familiar dishes through the diverse flavors of different regional spices.
Located on Dihua Street, a neighborhood steeped in a century-old spice and dried goods culture, we can conveniently source spices from around the world. Our chef personally selects the freshest herbs daily from the market, and we insist on hand-frying each spice to awaken its aroma, meticulously controlling the heat to allow the spices to showcase their purest and richest layers in our dishes.
We blend Asian ingredients with Western cooking techniques, employing methods such as sauces, stewing, searing, and sous-vide cooking. While preserving the distinct characteristics of each spice, we pursue a balance and delicacy of flavor, creating modern Asian cuisine unique to Deejai.
"Deejai" in Thai means "happy, joyful," with "jai" meaning "heart." Therefore, Deejai not only represents happiness but also a joyful heart; while the opposite, Jaidee, signifies kindness and a good heart.
These two words have become the core of Deejai's brand spirit: cooking with heart and treating people with kindness, so that everyone who enters can feel at ease, warm, and joyful.
We hope that every dish and every drink carries this "heart"—a love for spices, a focus on cuisine, respect for the land, and sincere hospitality for every guest.
May everyone who comes to Deejai savor the interwoven flavors of Asian spices in this old house, and leave with a sense of joy and warmth unique to Deejai.
