Thai food
is internationally famous both for its taste and aesthetics. Whether hot chili
spiced or bland, harmony between ingredients and tastes is the guiding
principle behind each Thai food dish. Thai cuisine is a rich fusion of
centuries-old Eastern and Western influences harmoniously combined into
something uniquely and deliciously Thai.
While Thai food has a reputation for being spicy, Thai food is actually based
on a balance between different flavors including spicy, sour, sweet, salty, and
bitter.
One
distinctive aspect of Thai food is the use of fresh herbs and spices as well as
the inclusion of fermented fish sauce in nearly every dish –a potential problem
for vegetarians, though saying “jay” to indicate you are vegetarian goes a long
way.
A highlight
for many people on a Thailand holiday is experiencing Thai food culture.
Traditional rituals, great hospitality and fresh, vibrant flavours ensure
Thailand is a food lover’s delight, with exciting offerings on every corner-
from busy street stalls to more luxurious restaurants.
Street
food in Thailand brings together various offerings of ready-to-eat meals,
snacks, fruits and drinks sold by hawkers or vendors at food stalls or food
carts on the street side in Thailand.
Street food is a quintessential part of the Bangkok experience. Wherever you go
in the city, food stalls are plentiful and you will find a high concentration
of them in busy areas.
I was really amazed to see the same being replicated at the celebrated
restaurant Kylin at Holiday Inn Mayur Vihar Noida. The ambience has been
created in such a way that it feels as if one is on the streets of Bangkok.
Stalls churning out freshly made soups, salads from a boat which replicated the
floating market and the charcoal grill with smoke churning out awesome satay,
dimsums and much more.
Guest Chef Lepcha has done so ders with his food. He has not used any packet
curries instead he has made all the pastes and curries fresh with his own
freshly sourced ingredients. This has made a remarkable difference to his
creations and I must admit I had the best red curry of my life. Don't miss the
Starters at all, you will love the double cooked chicken which is grilled and
then wrapped in a leaf and fried. Wow, thorough burst of lovely flavours just makes
you to want more and more of this stuff.
The F & B team under the superb guidance of Mr. Suprabhat Roy Chaudhry has
just nailed it with this festival. Kudos to the Team for their sheer talent and
hospitality.
