Chakrit Sakdikul, the Thai heartthrob known for his charming smile and stellar performances in dramas like “Love Beyond Borders” and “The Rhythm of My Heart,” has always been a man of surprises. This time, he decided to spice things up (literally!) by stepping into the kitchen as the host of his own cooking show, “Chakrit’s Culinary Crusade.”
Fans were initially skeptical – could this prince charming conquer the culinary world? After all, Chakrit was known for his romantic gestures on screen, not for wielding a wok with finesse. But skepticism soon turned to delight as Chakrit proved himself to be a natural in the kitchen.
The show, which premiered on Thailand’s Channel 3 last month, has become an instant hit. Each episode sees Chakrit tackling a different Thai dish, often with hilarious results. From trying (and failing) to make authentic pad thai to wrestling with stubborn chili peppers, Chakrit’s infectious laughter and self-deprecating humor make the show a joy to watch.
Episode | Dish | Hilarious Moment |
---|---|---|
1 | Tom Yum Soup | Chakrit accidentally sets off the smoke alarm while trying to caramelize sugar. |
2 | Green Curry | Chakrit spills an entire pot of curry on himself, resulting in a spontaneous turmeric bath. |
3 | Mango Sticky Rice | Chakrit forgets to add sticky rice to the dish and ends up with a bowl of sweet mango puree. |
Beyond the laughs, “Chakrit’s Culinary Crusade” has also introduced viewers to the diverse flavors and culinary traditions of Thailand. Chakrit’s genuine enthusiasm for his heritage shines through as he explains the ingredients and history behind each dish. He even invites local chefs and food experts to share their knowledge, offering viewers a deeper understanding of Thai cuisine.
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing in the kitchen. One episode saw Chakrit attempting to make Som Tum (spicy papaya salad) with disastrous consequences.
He struggled with the mortar and pestle, resulting in a bruised arm and a decidedly lumpy salad. The moment went viral on social media, with fans both laughing at and sympathizing with Chakrit’s culinary struggles. Chakrit himself took it all in stride, even posting a hilarious video of the incident on his Instagram page with the caption, “Sometimes you win, sometimes the papaya wins!”
His ability to laugh at himself has endeared him even further to his fans, proving that he is not just a talented actor but also a down-to-earth and relatable personality.
The success of “Chakrit’s Culinary Crusade” has been a delightful surprise for both Chakrit and his viewers. It’s a testament to his versatility and charm that he can seamlessly transition from romantic lead to comedic chef, captivating audiences with every delicious (and sometimes disastrous) dish he creates.
But the story doesn’t end there! Rumors are swirling about a possible international expansion for “Chakrit’s Culinary Crusade.” Will Chakrit bring his unique brand of Thai cooking to the world stage? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: this talented star is just getting started.
