Michelin’s composite innovation inspires a distinctive culinary experience, blending strength, adaptability, and creativity in a layered Thai menu.
GOAT Bangkok brings its MICHELIN-Star expertise to reimagine Thai traditions with bold, transformative techniques.
The dinner celebrates Michelin’s innovation and excellence, linking advanced materials with gastronomy in an immersive journey.
BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 December 2025 – As part of the Michelin Beyond Performance, Asia Pacific Media Day 2025, Michelin hosted an exclusive dinner experience that brought together culinary artistry and technological inspiration. The evening featured a specially curated menu by GOAT, the acclaimed One MICHELIN Star restaurant from Bangkok.
The dinner was designed to reflect Michelin’s pioneering work in composites—advanced materials that combine strength, flexibility, and innovation. Just as Michelin composites transform mobility and industry, GOAT’s menu transformed Thai culinary traditions into a multi-layered, immersive experience.
Far from a conventional media dinner, this was an unprecedented concept for Asia Pacific — an imaginative fusion of Michelin’s technological innovation and world-class gastronomy, unlike anything the region had ever experienced.
GOAT: A Star of Thai Culinary Innovation
GOAT, led by Chef Tan-Parkorn Kosiyabong, is known for its fearless reinterpretation of Thai cuisine. The restaurant’s philosophy centers on transformation—of ingredients, of traditions, and of the dining experience itself. For this event, GOAT stepped outside its home base to bring its culinary vision to life in a new setting, echoing the adaptability and ingenuity of Michelin composites.
GOAT is recognized in the MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026 selection with One MICHELIN Star (2025 and 2026)and a newly awarded Green Star, underscoring its commitment to sustainability and culinary excellence.
“The concept of composites gave us a unique lens to reinterpret Thai cuisine. Each dish in this menu is a fusion of regional ingredients and techniques, layered to create something more powerful and expressive—just like Michelin’s composites.” said Chef Kosiyabong.
The Menu: A Composite of Thai Regions and Stories
The evening began with three small bites, passed around during the welcome reception. Each bite was a tribute to a different region of Thailand, offering a glimpse into the country’s rich culinary diversity:
Nakhon Si Thammarat: Pomelo, tamarind, and lotus blossom—a reimagined palmetto salad elevated with wild elements and pickling techniques.
Surat Thani: Crab curry, pickles, and sour cream—a thicker, richer take on yellow crab curry, paired with house-made sour cream and three distinct powders that bloom into three unique flavor profiles.
Home: Duck liver, banana, and watermelon—a bold, playful bite that juxtaposes richness and freshness.
The appetizer, named Mae Hong Son, featured ham foam, pork jowl, and duck egg, evoking the mountainous northern province with a dish that balanced smokiness, creaminess, and umami.
For the main course, GOAT presented The South: Aged Thai Wagyu beef, condiments, baked rice, and roti. Inspired by a typical Southern Thai breakfast, this dish invited guests to compose their own flavor journey—choosing from a variety of condiments to contrast and complement the beef, much like assembling a composite material with purpose and precision.
The evening concluded with Prachin Buri, a dessert of coconut, pandan, and sticky rice. Simple yet profound, it paid homage to the eastern province’s agricultural heritage while offering a sweet, comforting finale.
Composites in Cuisine
A composite is a material made from two or more combined materials with different properties, resulting in a new material with superior characteristics, such as greater strength or durability. The ultimate Michelin composite is, of course, the tire.
Just as Michelin’s composite technologies revolutionize mobility and sustainability, GOAT’s menu demonstrated how culinary composites—regional ingredients, traditional techniques, and modern interpretations—can create something greater than the sum of its parts. Each dish was a layered experience, inviting guests to explore contrasts, connections, and creativity.
“Life-changing composites and experiences are at the heart of everything Michelin does. This dinner beautifully illustrates how the same principles of innovation and creativity can be translated into an unforgettable culinary experience.” Said Sheena Flannery, Director of Communications, Michelin Asia Pacific.
This dinner was not just a celebration of food—it was a celebration of Michelin’s spirit of innovation, adaptability, and excellence.

SINGAPORE, Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Musée Platinum Tokyo, a leading beauty brand with over 15 years in Singapore, has officially launched the DUO Hydrogen Treatment at all its salon locations. The non-invasive treatment is formulated for individuals with sensitive, acne-prone, eczema-prone, or reactive skin and is suitable for application to the face, scalp, and body, including delicate areas.
Musée Platinum Tokyo Launches DUO Hydrogen Treatment Across All Salons in Singapore
The hydrogen treatment offers a gentle, restorative approach to skincare, helping to calm irritation, support hydration, and enhance skin resilience. It is recommended for individuals experiencing redness, dryness, or sensitivity triggered by environmental stressors or Singapore’s humid climate.
The launch responds to growing demand among individuals in Singapore for effective yet gentle treatments that support deeper skin recovery and long-term skin resilience. The technology is designed to complement existing aesthetic services, including body hair removal, with a particular focus on improving skin health.
“We have observed an increase in individuals seeking solutions that address both visible skin concerns and underlying sensitivity,” said Karen, Operation Officer of Musée Platinum Tokyo. “The DUO Hydrogen Treatment allows us to offer a safe, non-invasive option that supports skin recovery without causing additional irritation.”
Technology Overview: Combining Hydrogen and Ozone-Based Therapies
DUO Hydrogen utilises two complementary technologies, Hydrogen Care and Ozone Care, to cleanse, soothe, and support skin that is compromised. During the Hydrogen Care stage, purified water is transformed into high-concentration hydrogen (3000PPB), which penetrates deep into the pores to neutralise free radicals and remove debris that contributes to inflammation and skin ageing.
Ozone Care enhances the treatment by delivering oxygen-rich ozone water using water plasma technology. This activates skin cells, reduces bacterial buildup, and promotes wound healing. Together, these components form a dual-action system that supports hydration, barrier repair, and clarity, qualities associated with advanced skin repair treatments.
Service Expansion and Safety Considerations
The treatment is now available at all Musée Platinum Tokyo locations in Singapore. To ensure safe application, all beauticians have completed advanced training in managing sensitive and eczema-prone skin. The treatment is fragrance-free and painless, aligning with the brand’s positioning as a provider of painless hair removal and non-invasive beauty services in Singapore.
Beauticians are trained to customise each session based on individual skin types and conditions. For individuals with active flare-ups or highly reactive skin, adjustments are made to treatment duration and application intensity. The process is designed to avoid common irritants typically found in traditional facials, making it suitable for both pre-treatment and post-treatment care.
Target Audience and Skin Benefits
Although the DUO Hydrogen Treatment was developed with eczema-prone individuals in mind, it is suitable for a broad range of skin types. Individuals with acne-prone, dry, oily, or reactive skin may benefit from regular sessions, typically recommended once every two to three weeks. For more active conditions, weekly sessions may be advised during the initial phase.
With consistent use, the treatment may help to:
Reduce redness, irritation, and flare-ups
Improve skin hydration and strengthen the barrier
Smooth texture and support overall skin health
Maintain resilient, comfortable skin across the face, scalp, and body
These benefits are particularly relevant for individuals seeking to manage chronic sensitivity while continuing with aesthetic treatments such as targeted skin therapy or hair removal.
Promotional Launch Offers
To mark the launch, Musée Platinum Tokyo is offering a limited-time trial of the DUO Hydrogen Treatment at $65 (regular price: $127.50). The introductory offer allows interested parties to experience the treatment and assess its suitability for their skin needs. Further details and booking information are available on their website.
About Musée Platinum Tokyo
With six salons across Singapore and over 15 years of beauty experience, Musée Platinum Tokyo is known for painless hair removal and advanced skincare treatments. The brand combines expertise with innovative solutions, emphasising safety, comfort, and non-invasive care across all services.

Little Flower Hut, an online florist in Singapore, has observed growing interest in its weekly flower subscription service, particularly among women who see fresh blooms as a way to elevate their home environment and nurture emotional well-being.
The New Self-Care Essential: Fresh Flowers for Everyday Wellness
Vibrant floral arrangement in a glass vase wrapped with green leaves, featuring roses, hydrangeas, and orchids.

Younger adults aged 25 to 34, in particular, are becoming more attuned to their emotional well-being. Many are proactive in managing stress through better work-life balance, adequate rest, and a willingness to seek professional support when needed.
Home décor trends have also contributed to this movement, with more residents transforming their living areas into personal sanctuaries enriched by natural elements.

He was most recently the General Manager of the Central Asia Hub in Hong Kong, achieving record-breaking performance, exceptional employee engagement scores, and the seamless completion of a EUR376 million expansion project in 2023.
Taiwan’s robust technology sector, thriving e-commerce industry, and strong export-oriented economy make it a critical market for DHL Express. Samuel’s deep operational expertise and years of leadership will ensure DHL continues to deliver world-class service and support the growth of businesses in this dynamic market.
Samuel Lee said, “Taiwan is a vibrant market with immense potential, and it holds a unique position in global trade, particularly as a hub for technology and innovation. The team has established a remarkable reputation in Taiwan, and I am proud to be working alongside them. Our focus remains on delivering exceptional service and creating new opportunities for growth to better enhance Taiwan’s role in global supply chains.”
